    South America looks at both and snorts... "You call those mountains!!" These babies are started with the breakup of Pangea and are still growing.

    First time I was flying into Santiago, I was amazed when we hit 3,000m and looked way up at the mountains out the window.

    They also have the only empire we know of that used mountains as its imperial core rather than as internal boundaries. Even Rome which was located in the famously mountainous Italy and was a land power treated the mountains as an inconvenience. But the Inca were just like "fuck you, we're mountain people"
