00:00Why did every ancient culture put its gods on mountains? The answer is in the air itself.
00:06Above 3,000 meters, the air thins. Your heart pounds. Your body knows it has left the ordinary
00:12world. Lightning strikes the summit first, so the sky seems to touch the mountain and nowhere else.
00:19And awe itself rewires the brain. Feeling small beneath something enormous opens the mind to the
00:26sacred. The gods did not choose the mountains. The mountains chose the gods.
