This SCP holds so much relevance today, as Mt. Everest is currently being downright ruined by tourists. Sherpas basically drag/carry tourists up the whole mountain who are so inexperienced that many of these tourists have been reported not even knowing how to tie basic knots used in climbing. Sherpas risk their lives just to make a decent living, as working in this industry provides more opportunity than other professions available in the area. Not only that, but the corrupt Nepalese government is way too lax in climbing permits, and gives them to just about anyone, making conditions like that of the 2018 climbing season, where there were dense, 6-11 hour long lines upon the summit of Everest, a place that you want to leave as quickly as you can, due to the lack of oxygen. Trash and human feces completely litter the mountain and pollute the water supply for locals, being that the bodies of water they access are sourced from there. And the whole body thing is completely real- if you die on Everest, you stay there. They don't bring you down. They can't. Hell, corpses are often given nicknames as landmarks to other climbers. Smith is right. Don't let climbers on Everest. The mountain isn't cursed like in here, but you'll only curse it even further.

There are two explanations I can find for Mt Everest having more corpses than everyone who has ever died: either this thing can replicate bodies or SCP 2000 has been used even more than we thought. Both ideas are terrifying
The corpses are extra dimensional heat sinks. They can draw an unlimited amount of heat from something, yet they maintain thermostasis far above the surrounding temperature. That heat has to be going somewhere.
10 degree celsius is far more than enough to melt snow, it would had been better to make it so the temperature is always -2 celcius or something the like, especially since you can read temperature it mean it emanate that much temperature, which would mean mt everest would melt super quickly, so they are just not a heat sink but also a heat provider in a way since the temperature is always 10 celsius
Its an SCP... Science goes a bit wonky with them, sometimes very wonky And other times science just buckles and cries uncle. Then curls up in a corner to cry
@@elvingearmasterirma7241 from what I've read, extra dimensions have a lot to do with various anomalies. They'd have to be truly clever to simply delete mass/energy.
SCP-5135-1 is an undetonated tsar bomba hovering 104.6cm above the ground at the Golden Gate National Recreation Area, any phisucal interations with it may cause it to detonate
What I love about this, is that they never confirm if the SCP instances that were moving were entirely illusions or not and that terrified me. And when Dr. Miller chillingly said "approximately 45% of Mt.Everst is made of corpses" I shuttered. It isnt the most horrifying SCP I have heard, but it is increidbly unsettling
this scp actually kinda creeped me out. other scp’s are like “oo cool spoop monster” but this one just kinda has that sense of realistic possibility, if ya catch my drift.
Always a pleasure to listen to your lectures. "Disruption Class: Ekhi?" That's a first. But the fact that Everest is home to a large count of icy frostbitten corpses is actaully very creepy. The fact they absorb heat and walk about the mountain looking for heat sources is also alarming.
I would say the conclusion to draw here is that the scp has some kind of origin from a long time ago. It's at the base of the mountain. Over the years it's attracted people in and essentially built itself up into an enomorus mountain of corpses interleaved by layers of covering material like snow and dirt
I assume they all came from earth Probably an object with the ability to transfer its properties to any living thing that touches it object at the top of a mountain that kills and converts the first person who touched it Someone comes looking for them and touches them to recover there body Over time more and more people pile up get covered then discovered by rescue parties that die as well It's probably layers upon layers of multiple bodies deep then a few feet of snow then bodies each layer hardening from being at the center of such a frozen mass Over time you have a mountain much larger The prediction that 40% of the mountain being bodies means that the bottom %60 is probably just mountain A mountain 60% the size of Everest is still huge Plenty big enough for entire rescue parties to go missing and be forgotten about over te generations until some other fool goes and gets dead and condemns the lives of another rescue party This scp is really interesting 🤔 like I'm imagining going deeper through the layers and it would be like going back in time All the way back to whatever humans or other creatures were at the core next to the original anomaly
But we do. Hundreds, maybe thousands of years worth of humans climbing the tallest mountain. We can’t help ourselves, which makes it the perfect place to lure victims to their doom. Building a unholy temple bigger and bigger, while humans think nothing out of the ordinary occurs, and the mountain grows (Everest IS actually getting bigger everyday).
I love the idea that we're still not quite sure at the end whether those frozen corpses actually can move, or whether it is just a hallucination. Leaving things hanging like that really adds to the suspense! Kudos to the writer!
Half of Everest would be like 7trillion corpses give or take an order of magnitude. That would mean that a good portion of every living creature to ever walk the earth is now an instance of scp-5140
We don't know that all of the humanoids are corpses. We also have reason to believe they are animated. They might make our bodies one of them, but that doesn't mean all of 5140 started as people. Edit: Maybe they reproduce?
@@Zombie_Scholar I was thinking more along the line of not all the corpses are human, the current estimate of total humans to ever live is about 100 billion, so the majority of scp-5140 would have to be dinosaurs, unless the world has actually been reset a bunch from yk-class shenanigans.
It would be safe to assume this could be an alternate human with a much larger human population Hell, it could a super earth for all we know and allows for a massively larger population (if you assume its the same earth just four years in the future, it still wouldn't have that large a population, there has to be some major differences).
This has to be one of my favourite articles. You have the exploration logs, which build up some really heavy suspense Then it lures you into a sense of false security with the idea that the mtf was just hallucinating from a lack of oxygen But then that last line hits you like a tonne of bricks It's all just so well rounded and feels really complete. And it's a great example of how SCP horror can take something absolutely normal and turn it into something that'll make you shit yourself
Your classes are always so much more professional then that odd Dr. Bright. Last week he tried to instruct us in the ways of the chainsaw cannon! Such a strange man.
For the people out there saying that it would be mathematically impossible for 45% of Everest's mass to be comprised of corpses, something to keep in mind: It's an SCP entry. There's an enormous lizard that is only debilitated by nukes instead of completely vaporized, a spot in the center of Jupiter that is a doomsday weapon, and a man whos memory affects the recollection of history itself. Crazier things have been suggested, it's not too far-fetched to assume that it'd be accurate in the SCP universe if there was actual cannon. 99% of that estimate could very easily be instances that were simply there to begin with, not even humans that were turned. Turned people could be an entirely separate type of 5140 instance. Just my own input though, absolutely love this entry, only wanted to throw my two cents into the ever-growing pile.
"It is estimated that 45% of Mt Everest's mass is formed of corpses" Mt Everest weighs about 357 trillion pounds, and the average human weighs about 195 pounds. That would mean that close to 0.8% of every human who ever lived is currently in Mt Everest.
The Mountain Cemetary - Edgar Allen Poe With their harsh leaves old rhododendrons fill The crevices in grave plots’ broken stones. The bees renew the blossoms they destroy, While in the burning air the pines rise still, Commemorating long forgotten biers. Their roots replace the semblance of these bones. The weight of cool, of imperceptible dust That came from nothing and to nothing came Is light within the earth and on the air. The change that so renews itself is just. The enormous, sundry platitude of death Is for these bones, bees, trees, and leaves the same. And splayed upon the ground and through the trees The mountains’ shadow fills and cools the air, Smoothing the shape of headstones to the earth. The rhododendrons suffer with the bees Whose struggles loose ripe petals to the earth, The heaviest burden it shall ever bear. Our hard earned knowledge fits us for such sleep. Although the spring must come, it passes too To form the burden suffered for what comes. Whatever we would give our souls to keep Is merely part of what we call the soul; What we of time would threaten to undo All time in its slow scrutiny has done. For on the grass that starts about the feet The body’s shadow turns, to shape in time, Soon grown preponderant with creeping shade, The final shadow that is turn of earth; And what seems won paid for as in defeat.
This gave me real chills. Not only because this SCP is based on a real life mountain and it has a core of truth to it, but also because of some real incidents, which remind me of this log-file. Think of the dyatlov-pass or the story of the 7 hikers, where 6 went literally crazy and got killed or just straight up collapsed and died of something unknown. Something happened in both of these incidents, probably natural and we can't explain it because we don't have the full story, but still terrifying to think of it.
The thing I love most about your videos is honestly the MTF and field logs. The Orcadian Horsemen is a favorite of mine and this scratches a similar itch, you really elevate the logs with these. They make it a hell of a lot more real, plus it's more dynamic to hear different voices than just Dr. Millar. Plus I imagine it's more fun for you to do varied voices and make the whole work more layered. Good stuff Volgun, I was real happy when I saw this had just been uploaded less than an hour ago.

No matter what this guy will always remain the best scp youtuber. The newer scp channels like that one the infographic show made has nothing on this guy.
Holy shit, I remember when I first made an account for the wiki and this was the highest trending one at the time. So cool to hear it presented by Dr. Miller.
Every time I think about Rounderhouse, I have to view his authors page again. It's an existential kind of hell, but one I find myself often revisiting and enjoying.
Some specific SCPs try to do that to vary things. The Deer is Threat Level: Black. The deeper, 05-only version of that Aztec Ziggurat of the dead or whatever it was has a bunch of categories. It's not completely consistent, which is part of the advantage to this format.
45% of everest’s mass is human corpses, an average human corpse weighs about 60 kilograms, so there would have to be about 1 trillion corpses to make up 45% of everests mass. Only about 107 billion humans have ever lived. The author of the article really didnt bother to think about how massive everest is when they wrote that bit.
I swear scp-1529 King of The Mountain was somehow behind the first SCP-5140. It can’t be coincidence 5140 is located at the same location 1529 often found and there had to be a first body or bodies for someone to touch to cause them to become an instance of 5140 and it would explain why not all bodies on the mountain is 5140
Beneath the ice and snow, Mount Everest is estimated to be 357 trillion pounds. OR, 243~ Kg. 45% of that would be 160.65 trillion pounds or 109~ KG of cadavers.
Now that’s a scary idea, Everest isn’t getting taller because of tectonic plate activity, it’s getting bigger because someone or something has been piling *things* on top of it, and to it’s slopes.

There are two explanations I can find for Mt Everest having more corpses than everyone who has ever died: either this thing can replicate bodies or SCP 2000 has been used even more than we thought. Both ideas are terrifying
Or time, a long, long period of time.
Given the fact that there are actually dead people (more than generally known) on Mt. Everest this one is too real.
They're even used as landmarks by tourists and climbers
The corpses are extra dimensional heat sinks. They can draw an unlimited amount of heat from something, yet they maintain thermostasis far above the surrounding temperature. That heat has to be going somewhere.
10 degree celsius is far more than enough to melt snow, it would had been better to make it so the temperature is always -2 celcius or something the like, especially since you can read temperature it mean it emanate that much temperature, which would mean mt everest would melt super quickly, so they are just not a heat sink but also a heat provider in a way since the temperature is always 10 celsius

And other times science just buckles and cries uncle. Then curls up in a corner to cry
@@elvingearmasterirma7241 from what I've read, extra dimensions have a lot to do with various anomalies. They'd have to be truly clever to simply delete mass/energy.

Everest : The Most Scariest Mountain ever
Dr Bright : Lemme Test my Tsar Bomba.
SCP-5135-1 is an undetonated tsar bomba hovering 104.6cm above the ground at the Golden Gate National Recreation Area, any phisucal interations with it may cause it to detonate
What I love about this, is that they never confirm if the SCP instances that were moving were entirely illusions or not and that terrified me.
And when Dr. Miller chillingly said
"approximately 45% of Mt.Everst is made of corpses"
I shuttered.
It isnt the most horrifying SCP I have heard, but it is increidbly unsettling
Id wager they do move, they all made it to the summit, not all of them had broken air valves, and they all saw the body “fall” off the summit
I didn't shudder, I laughed. That's more corpses than have ever been people several times over.
@@ChrissieBear in the SCP universe, there are a Lot of explanations for how that could be. Each one more terrifying then the last.
@@ChrissieBear There's the Repopulation Machine under Yellowstone. Who's to say that many of the bodies weren't from previous iterations?
Everest? More like ever-rest
or 'Never Rest' as the case may be.
I had the same thought o.o
Nice
@@trexpaddock shark boy and lava girl are looking for you day dreamer
@@AngelNearDestruction I certainly hope they get here soon.
As an Indian who hails from the Himalayan state of Uttarakhand, I can confirm this is true.
So Mt Everest is a Necromancy node or hot spot in the SCP universe. Probably a place where black magic gathers in mass.
Dr. Miller, I'm surprised that Mt. Everest is figuratively and literally a pile of corpses.
Ah yes, the only online class I'm happy to attend!
SAME THO
AINT THAT THE TRUTH
this scp actually kinda creeped me out. other scp’s are like “oo cool spoop monster” but this one just kinda has that sense of realistic possibility, if ya catch my drift.
I do. It's... well... yeah.
This is the one class I always look forward to.
Dr.Brights is always interesting, like last week when he instructed us on chainsaw cannons.
@Cole. Annus
*YOU'RE A MOUNTAIN?*
Always a pleasure to listen to your lectures.
"Disruption Class: Ekhi?" That's a first. But the fact that Everest is home to a large count of icy frostbitten corpses is actaully very creepy.
The fact they absorb heat and walk about the mountain looking for heat sources is also alarming.
Except at 10C they would not even be frozen
So this is what happened to the white walkers
@@artypyrec4186 Obviously.
@@cookeymonster83 Damn. Makes the need for heat unnecessary
This one creeps me out a lot. Probably because we don’t excactly know where these bodies are coming from.
I would say the conclusion to draw here is that the scp has some kind of origin from a long time ago. It's at the base of the mountain. Over the years it's attracted people in and essentially built itself up into an enomorus mountain of corpses interleaved by layers of covering material like snow and dirt
I assume they all came from earth
Probably an object with the ability to transfer its properties to any living thing that touches it
object at the top of a mountain that kills and converts the first person who touched it
Someone comes looking for them and touches them to recover there body
Over time more and more people pile up get covered then discovered by rescue parties that die as well
It's probably layers upon layers of multiple bodies deep then a few feet of snow then bodies
each layer hardening from being at the center of such a frozen mass
Over time you have a mountain much larger
The prediction that 40% of the mountain being bodies means that the bottom %60 is probably just mountain
A mountain 60% the size of Everest is still huge
Plenty big enough for entire rescue parties to go missing and be forgotten about over te generations until some other fool goes and gets dead and condemns the lives of another rescue party
This scp is really interesting 🤔 like I'm imagining going deeper through the layers and it would be like going back in time
All the way back to whatever humans or other creatures were at the core next to the original anomaly
Oh yeah! I remember reading about that a long time go. It’s called the Rainbow Valley.
Just looked up some pics and yeah, they were creepy.
But we do.
Hundreds, maybe thousands of years worth of humans climbing the tallest mountain. We can’t help ourselves, which makes it the perfect place to lure victims to their doom. Building a unholy temple bigger and bigger, while humans think nothing out of the ordinary occurs, and the mountain grows (Everest IS actually getting bigger everyday).
I know where they come from
This isnt Dr. Miller, this imposter isn't a tape recorder
*emergency meeting*
@@kingcookie9777 ahaha among us ahahaha red sus aha
Among us joke
It makes sense to me, the mountain friggin destroys people on it.
I love the idea that we're still not quite sure at the end whether those frozen corpses actually can move, or whether it is just a hallucination. Leaving things hanging like that really adds to the suspense! Kudos to the writer!
Half of Everest would be like 7trillion corpses give or take an order of magnitude. That would mean that a good portion of every living creature to ever walk the earth is now an instance of scp-5140
We don't know that all of the humanoids are corpses. We also have reason to believe they are animated. They might make our bodies one of them, but that doesn't mean all of 5140 started as people.
Edit: Maybe they reproduce?
@@Zombie_Scholar I was thinking more along the line of not all the corpses are human, the current estimate of total humans to ever live is about 100 billion, so the majority of scp-5140 would have to be dinosaurs, unless the world has actually been reset a bunch from yk-class shenanigans.
Well this says its also in 2024 so maybe in 4 years rhe human population explodes or something
Yeah it feels like the author was maybe meaning something closer to 45% of Everest's mass at the peak
It would be safe to assume this could be an alternate human with a much larger human population
Hell, it could a super earth for all we know and allows for a massively larger population (if you assume its the same earth just four years in the future, it still wouldn't have that large a population, there has to be some major differences).
This has to be one of my favourite articles. You have the exploration logs, which build up some really heavy suspense
Then it lures you into a sense of false security with the idea that the mtf was just hallucinating from a lack of oxygen
But then that last line hits you like a tonne of bricks
It's all just so well rounded and feels really complete. And it's a great example of how SCP horror can take something absolutely normal and turn it into something that'll make you shit yourself
Earth: * Exists *
SCP-5140: *helo*
That ending sentence sent chills down my spine
Brings to question if the "we climb it because it's there" mentality is part of it.
Maybe it has some psychic effect on people? If so, that's another really neat and hidden aspect of the anomaly.
@@DerrylHopkins Very good point.
Holy crap that ending, I love it! Most creative explanation of a real world thing, the creator deserves an award!
Your classes are always so much more professional then that odd Dr. Bright. Last week he tried to instruct us in the ways of the chainsaw cannon! Such a strange man.
I enjoyed it
Wait is it a dr bright channel? This jokes been getting around if not.
@@justinsmith5870 It was more of a joke. Though I lost a few fingers to the chainsaw.

Be careful then. The foundation likes paranoid people...😈
This had a fun blend of vaguely silly and vaguely unsettling, like a lot of the most fun SCPs.
I mean the video of Mount Everest being forged from dead bodies seems more unnerving than anything
"45% of Mt. Everest's mass is formed of corpses"
Still probably less bodies than I've had over the span of my life.
Im pretty sure i saw somewhere that 45% of mount Mount Everest being bodies would be over 10 billion bodies
@@alliedanchor8864 Don’t underestimate an immortal mad lad
Soo... The chainsaw cannon worked?
@@petrimal lol
@@alliedanchor8864 By mass (and my quick math), it's about 800 billion bodies.
Wow, a story where the Foundation shows proffesionalism for an SCP site and care for its staff. Don't see that often, nice change of pace.
The "Edmund" and "Hillary" names were a nice nod.
Okay this went from a solid scp to an amazingly great one. So rare to see true classics in the later scp series
At this point everything in the world is an SCP.
Pretty sure the Earth, sun and moon are all anomalous skips, in one article or another
i just wrota that :)
If in the universe there Is no other life then that would mean that we as the only life forms are the anomalies
@@agustinramos7500 yep, that’s one of the 001s. Arbelicts proposal: You Are The Anomaly, Tumor Of The Worlds.
that fucking blender is acting weird
For the people out there saying that it would be mathematically impossible for 45% of Everest's mass to be comprised of corpses, something to keep in mind: It's an SCP entry. There's an enormous lizard that is only debilitated by nukes instead of completely vaporized, a spot in the center of Jupiter that is a doomsday weapon, and a man whos memory affects the recollection of history itself. Crazier things have been suggested, it's not too far-fetched to assume that it'd be accurate in the SCP universe if there was actual cannon. 99% of that estimate could very easily be instances that were simply there to begin with, not even humans that were turned. Turned people could be an entirely separate type of 5140 instance.
Just my own input though, absolutely love this entry, only wanted to throw my two cents into the ever-growing pile.
I'm on top of the world, eh!
*(dies)*
"It is estimated that 45% of Mt Everest's mass is formed of corpses"
Mt Everest weighs about 357 trillion pounds, and the average human weighs about 195 pounds.
That would mean that close to 0.8% of every human who ever lived is currently in Mt Everest.
Modern average is 195. Average prior to industrial revolution hovered around 120-145.
There's a LOT of bodies
you made a mistake. only about 100 billion people lived on esrth roughly
The Mountain Cemetary
- Edgar Allen Poe
With their harsh leaves old rhododendrons fill
The crevices in grave plots’ broken stones.
The bees renew the blossoms they destroy,
While in the burning air the pines rise still,
Commemorating long forgotten biers.
Their roots replace the semblance of these bones.
The weight of cool, of imperceptible dust
That came from nothing and to nothing came
Is light within the earth and on the air.
The change that so renews itself is just.
The enormous, sundry platitude of death
Is for these bones, bees, trees, and leaves the same.
And splayed upon the ground and through the trees
The mountains’ shadow fills and cools the air,
Smoothing the shape of headstones to the earth.
The rhododendrons suffer with the bees
Whose struggles loose ripe petals to the earth,
The heaviest burden it shall ever bear.
Our hard earned knowledge fits us for such sleep.
Although the spring must come, it passes too
To form the burden suffered for what comes.
Whatever we would give our souls to keep
Is merely part of what we call the soul;
What we of time would threaten to undo
All time in its slow scrutiny has done.
For on the grass that starts about the feet
The body’s shadow turns, to shape in time,
Soon grown preponderant with creeping shade,
The final shadow that is turn of earth;
And what seems won paid for as in defeat.
Poe wrote a poem about Everest? Cool!
@@cedartheyeah.justyeah.3967 Lol, no

2. Not about Everest
This gave me real chills. Not only because this SCP is based on a real life mountain and it has a core of truth to it, but also because of some real incidents, which remind me of this log-file. Think of the dyatlov-pass or the story of the 7 hikers, where 6 went literally crazy and got killed or just straight up collapsed and died of something unknown. Something happened in both of these incidents, probably natural and we can't explain it because we don't have the full story, but still terrifying to think of it.

The thing I love most about your videos is honestly the MTF and field logs. The Orcadian Horsemen is a favorite of mine and this scratches a similar itch, you really elevate the logs with these. They make it a hell of a lot more real, plus it's more dynamic to hear different voices than just Dr. Millar. Plus I imagine it's more fun for you to do varied voices and make the whole work more layered. Good stuff Volgun, I was real happy when I saw this had just been uploaded less than an hour ago. Made my afternoon.
Thanks man, It's nice to know that the touches I put into these are appreciated.
@@TheVolgun You have no idea how much hon
the closer on this article is genuinely chilling. thats rare for scp articles in my experience

I love the subtle leak of emotion between the conversation while they try to keep it profesional
I swear, these videos are higher quality every upload. Keep up the good work!
When the real life subject of the scp is almost as scary as the scp
I know you hear this all the time, this shit is amazing the setup the sound all great. Please never stop this series
Major traumatic experiences in my life :
- Breaking up with first love
- Gettin into a fight and in some serious troubles after
- Discovering the smoke in the Volgun videos was from cofee and not cigaret

Never mind the other scp on there, the “mountain king”

This is the first time in a while that a SCP story gave me chills ^^
You're a wonderful narrator

Holy shit, I remember when I first made an account for the wiki and this was the highest trending one at the time. So cool to hear it presented by Dr. Miller.

I like the contrasting imagery of the red office room lights and the steam coming off the coffee from the cold nature of mountains.
Couple of years ago I had hoped to eventually read every SCP.
I finished series I only for the amount of SCPs to double.
Kinda similar to the guy who is niting every pokemon
I love the anomaly classification system, it gives more details about the scps.
I would like to think the Mountain Climbrr SCP is helping this SCP, With The Bodies,
Oh Shit,
Oh God,

Every time I think about Rounderhouse, I have to view his authors page again. It's an existential kind of hell, but one I find myself often revisiting and enjoying.
Am I the only one who hasn't heard of these Disruption classifications and Risk classifications? Can these be explained or linked please?
Some specific SCPs try to do that to vary things. The Deer is Threat Level: Black. The deeper, 05-only version of that Aztec Ziggurat of the dead or whatever it was has a bunch of categories. It's not completely consistent, which is part of the advantage to this format.
That last line of the article hits you like a MAC truck.
Also, welcome back, TheVolgun! We missed you! :)
45% of everest’s mass is human corpses, an average human corpse weighs about 60 kilograms, so there would have to be about 1 trillion corpses to make up 45% of everests mass. Only about 107 billion humans have ever lived. The author of the article really didnt bother to think about how massive everest is when they wrote that bit.
i like turning up the volume and going into fullscreen mode on your videos, it makes me feel so calm and at warmth. 🥰
SCP 1529: "So that's what's been breaking my toys..."
I swear scp-1529 King of The Mountain was somehow behind the first SCP-5140. It can’t be coincidence 5140 is located at the same location 1529 often found and there had to be a first body or bodies for someone to touch to cause them to become an instance of 5140 and it would explain why not all bodies on the mountain is 5140
It’s people! Mt Everest is made out of people! They made the mountain out of PEOPLE!!!!!!
"YOU GOTTA TELL THEM!"
Is it sad that I totally understand this reference? 🤣
Beneath the ice and snow, Mount Everest is estimated to be 357 trillion pounds. OR, 243~ Kg.
45% of that would be 160.65 trillion pounds or 109~ KG of cadavers.
.......did this shit just say Everest is full of white walkers?!
That last line was chilling. Great video
I’m a simple man, I see Volgun video, I click
Jesus christ that finally statement gave me chills
