Mountain

Storyline

I found a very interesting story in the book "Indian Mythology" by Katsuhiko Uemura. It is poetic and gaggy in some parts. Once upon a time, a mountain had wings and flew around. When the mountain landed on the earth, the earth shook with a roar...". This story was made up by Brahmins (monks) 4 to 5,000 years ago. It is said that those in power at that time ruled their people by making up interesting stories. Is it the same today?
