Mount Roraima is located on a high plateau at the junction of Brazil, Venezuela and Guyan. Some people believe it’s a natural but rather unusual work of nature. Some others just say – it’s a scary thing.

There are also researchers who say it’s not a mountain but and artificially created formation. Mount Roraima has a fascinating form. It was carved from a single, monolithic and gigantic piece of rock.

Its vertical walls have smooth surfaces and the mountain’s sides form straight vertical line.

The height of the top of the vertical walls up to 400 meters. Corner sloping ledge forms a fairly sharp upper and lower line around the perimeter.

The height of the ridge reaches 170 meters! The total height of the structure reaches 1,150 meters from its base.

In Pemon mythology, Capone and other indigenous people of South America Roraima has played an important cosmogonical role.

Strange Mount Roraima

In the language of Pemon Indians roroi means “blue-green”, and ma – “great”. Thus, the name “Roraima” is translated from the local dialect means “big blue-green mountain.”

According to the beliefs of Aboriginal peoples, stump is left over from the mighty tree growing all the fruits and vegetables in the world. Legendary hero Makunayma – literally means “He Works By Night” – also known as “God” or “Great Spirit” cut down the tree and the barrel fell to the ground and caused a terrible flood.

Makunaima is often said never to have been seen by mortal man.

Roraima’s cliffs can be climbed to the top and it takes approximately two days to do it. However, in the course of lifting the traveler risks falling into a cloud of dense fog, so you need to be especially careful.

Despite its mostly unusual form, Roraima Mountain is not particularly unique, because there are similar rock formations around the world.
