What are sacred spaces?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Sacred spaces are spaces that are set aside for a purpose that is not "profane." It of course depends on what you deem to be sacred or profane of course. It is arguable that a library is sacred to knowlege, a school room to learning, a chapel to prayer...

Of course sacred speaces in the conventional sense are generally dedicated to particular divinities. For example a mosque is sacred to Allah in a sense, although a Moslem would say that a mosque is not neccisarily a sacred building, at least some would. A christian church is sacred to Christ, and the holy trinity, a synagogue to Yahweh... A masonic lodgeroom to Jah-Bul-On or the Grand Architect of the Universe.

A speace can be sacred simply because it is put aside for a spiritual purpose. Or it may be sacred because it is in that space that some particular higher function is carried out, some say that courtrooms are sacred to Justitia - Blind Justice.

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

A "Free-standing" mountain is a mountain on sea level, meaning it is not in a mountain range. For example, Mt. Everest is in the Himalayas mountain range. Meaning it is surrounded by very close mountains, which means its base is at an extremely high 2,000-4,000 m (meters) , then starting towards 8,002 m.

No one lives at the summit. It's too high, too thin air and too cold.

But it's a fairly doable hike, so you're bound to see a few Tourists and their guides enjoying the view and taking Pictures.

Who found diamonds at Mt Kilimanjaro?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Depending on the geography, one can discover a diamond under or near the water -- an alluvial diamond, or near a volcanic pipe, from which diamonds are subsequently mined.

  • Alluvial diamonds are loose stones that have been carried from the top of a volcanic pipe -- where they erupted to the earth's surface -- by water, and have been carried downstream by the flow. Raw diamond stones are found in the river, or sometimes in the seabed where diamonds are deposited at the mouth of the river where it meets the sea.
  • Volcanic pipes that contain diamonds also contain the trace minerals kimberlite or lamproite, which are scattered over the top of the pipe by natural erosion. Where these trace minerals are spotted, a geologist will inspect the area further for the presence of diamonds. (Only one in 200 such volcanic pipes contains diamonds.)
