Mount Everest has been around for approx 30 to 50 million years. It is thought that the summit of Mount Everest started at the bottom of the ancient Tethys Sea, the motion of the Indian sub continental plate and the urasian continental plate colliding, about 30 - 50 million years ago, caused the mountain to rise up and become the highest mountain on the Earth.
