The Islands in the Sky - Mt Roraima and the Tepuis

Today we look at one of the most beautiful and unique mountains in the world - Mount Roraima. Located in South America, it borders Guyana, Brazil, and Venezuela. It is the tallest point in Guyana. We will also talk about Tepuis in general - going over how they were formed.

I grew up by a flat topped mountain....Table Mountain in South Africa. I believe it's the only such mountain in Africa. Also, though this is in another part of Venezuela, friends who worked for oil companies on Lago Maracaibo, had as their corporate pilot, Jimmy Angel, who discovered Angel Falls, highest in the world...unless you wish to debate Tegula Falls...again in South Africa.
I'm enjoying your fascinating videos....at 77 I've seen many of the places you cover but you introduce them in a new and interesting fashion.

always wondered bout this place. thanks for sharing.

Never new they existed until I listened to a podcast about them and the biologist that climbed them to study the species on top. So cool

Definitely makes sense why some speculated and wrote about the idea of there being surviving populations of dinosaurs and other prehistoric creatures upon these tepuis. With the history and the way they formed it would absolutely make sense!, and while reality can be often disappointing it’s still fun to learn about the actual creatures that live there, and to speculate about what could be if such extinct animals were able to live on a South American plateau separated from the rest of the world like in arthur conan doyle’s book. Anyways great video!

“Aboriginal” is a term used to refer to the natives people of Australia. It’s not synonymous with native people from everywhere.

Why did not anyone build a castle on top of that thing and live there like the king of the world ?

Very nice video, if you study the book of Enoch you find that there were trees so large that when they were cut down by massive creatures it left stumps that are now what we called these mountains. You can see perfect resemblances to petrified tree stumps when you look at it. I challenge you to research from that angle and see where it takes you, it’s very interesting and full of amazing parallels

Beautiful Mount Roraima, where the borders between Brazil, Venezuela and Guyana converge. Although the pro-Essequibo Venezuelan activists do not recognize the 10% corresponding to the Guyanese territory. 👍

Keep out scientist you explore to terminate the best nature has so humanity doesn't receive it's benefit s

[dhimassyaputra]

why don't people take helicopters to the top of roraima ?

[shucksful]

They are cut downed trees..See my two part video. Thx. Awesome video. Just a little bit misled. It’s not your fault.

Aborigenous people live in Australia! You meant indigenous ...?

[isaliztebar]

I had a dream I was there on top I had no clue why and it was when I was young before I knew about this place

[dasoundfactory]

This dude has no clue of what he's talking about! 😅😂🤣

This is the base from a giant tree. Scripture talks about it

[alancadieux]

Looks like evidence for the continental breakup during the great flood. The earth would have been a bit larger in diameter before, providing that this would be the elevation of the earth's surface. It does say in Genesis that the fountains of the great deep were broken up, the world flooded from both the top down & the bottom up.

I got plants from Tepuis heliamphora pulchella/uncinata 😁

Put a house there ... only means of transportation would be flight

Flat top mountains or old giant trees? Worth researching 😉
