Empire, as well as faraway Rome and China, the Bundeshans' inventory of mountains is as expansive as it is geologically dubious.

Following the book's description of how droves of mountains arose in the first years of creation, the Bundahigian goes on to explain the origins of lakes and seas.

Ages ago, when we covered the book of Leviticus, I quoted a fairly long section of the text having to do with animal sacrifice, just to give you a sense of how much that long stretch of the Bible is concerned with butchering and meat cutting.
