Have you been to Mount Roraima?

Mount Roraima is called Monte Roraima in Spanish. The highest peak in the Pacarama Mountains in northern South America. At the junction of Brazil, Venezuela and Guyana. It is a table-shaped mountain with steep edges and flat top, about 14 kilometers long, 5 kilometers wide, and 2,810 meters above sea level. Mainly composed of sandstone. Source of the Orinoco, Amazon and many rivers in Guyana. There are diamond and bauxite deposits in the foothills.

The novel "The Lost World" written by Jazz is based on this part of Mount Roraima. It was once home to pterodactyls and other prehistoric monsters.

Locals have never attempted the challenge of climbing Mount Ronaima. From the 18th century to the early 19th century, several scientists, geographers, botanists and anthropologists arrived at the top of the mountains. They discovered fossils of large animals on the top, which were later confirmed to be dinosaur fossils. During the 18th and 19th centuries, scholars conducted many investigations and studies around Mount Roraima and obtained a lot of precious information.

The British explorer was the first to reach the top of Mount Ronaima. He found that the top of the mountain was flat and open, with only herbs and shrubs as vegetation. At the end of the 19th century, the British wanted to annex the tepuis from the region to British Guiana because the area was rich in natural resources (e.g., diamonds). However, the United States is not to be outdone and demands to fight for it. The International Court of Justice met in Paris to resolve the border dispute. At the conference it was decided that most of the territory of the Range (including the state of Roraima) belonged to British Guiana.
