#MountEverest has been scaled by many mountaineers but no body knew accurately the height of the highest peak, in the past - but it was calculated accurately by one #Bengali genius #Mathematician . Read the thread to know the fascinating details 
In 1831, surveyor-general of India George #Everest was looking for a mathematician who had specialised in spherical #trigonometry to join the #GreatTrigonometricSurvey
#RadhanathSikdar, a student and a master in spherical trigonometry from Kolkata’s Hindu College (now #PresidencyUniversity) was handpicked for the #survey department of the #British government in the 1830s
Another lie crumbles! #MountEverest has been named after the WRONG MAN, the man who merely initiated a survey, and not the man who ACTUALLY took pain to calculate the mountain’s height— RADHANATH SIKADAR!
How many more HISTORICAL lies hv v gulped down as the TRUTH?

It took him close to a decade to carryout geodetic surveys and calculate the height of mount Everest. But the brown man never got his due. #SikdarParvat ? Why not??? google.co.uk/amp/s/www.hind…
When I wrote this thread in 2019, many pointed out that it was not Fibonacci but Pingala pattern. 👇 In my article and videos that followed Pingala was given the credit. We must CORRECT ourselves— it’s never too late.
#Nepal is located in the southern foot of the #Himalayas. Eight of the world's 10 highest peaks over 8000 meters are in Nepal. It has the best hiking trails in the world and is known as a 'paradise for hikers'. This thread will show 4 classic #hikingroutes in Nepal.
1. #Boone Mountain Small Circle Line: This line is basically the entry-level version of the Nepal hiking line. As long as you are healthy, normal people can easily walk through it.
The characteristic of this route is that the mountain loop can be completed in the shortest time, and the #Annapurna mountains can be easily viewed from a distance.
