I feel like a guy named “steve” was there
To be clear, the rocks that the mountain is made of are reasonably old (oldest on Earth is closer to 4.0 billion years, but anything >500 million is fairly rare), but the landform of a mountain is a combination of uplift and erosion, which is fairly young. The only source for the age of erosion I could find (didn’t search hard) mentioned the glaciation of the Pleistocene, which seems reasonable.
The Venezuelan tepuis are one of the most fascinating places on earth! I discovered them from a National Geographic story when I was a kid. The world’s tallest waterfall tumbles off one of these mesas. It’s too bad my country (US) has ruined any chance for me to ever safely visit them in person.
If you look real close at the left side of the plateau you can see an old man, a kid and a dog.
Is this a reference I’m too ignorant to get?
The movie Up
This is the kind of location I look for when building a house in Minecraft.
The Great Plateau
That waterfall on the far left - was this the inspiration for Up?
The waterfall from the movie is Angel Falls, the world’s tallest waterfall.
Thank you for finding this!
Short answer, maybe.
They travel to a tepui in Venezuela but I’d argue it looks more like Auyán-tepui than Mount Roraima
Could it be an alien craft landing pad? Ancient astronaut theorists, say yes.
more interesting fact, this borders three countries: Guyana, Venezuela, Brazil
