Near Everest Memorial, Chukpi Lhara, ~4,830 m above sea level.
Everest Memorial, Chukpi Lhara is a solemn tribute located in the Khumjung region of Nepal's Eastern Region, honoring climbers and individuals who lost their lives during expeditions in the Everest region.
Silbury Hill is a prehistoric artificial chalk mound. The hill is the tallest prehistoric man-made mound in Europe.
Composed mainly of chalk and clay excavated from the surrounding area, the mound stands 39.3 metres (129 ft) high and covers about 2 hectares (5 acres). The hill was constructed in several stages between c. 2400~2300 BCE and displays immense technical skill and prolonged control over labour and resources.
As a Photographer, it is difficult to capture the immense scale of this mound and the backbreaking labour involved in its construction. The people involved had no access to sophisticated tools as we have today. The excavation of the earth and chalk would have been undertaken with deer antlers , used as picks and other animal bones as shovels.
