He didn't want Everest named after him because he did nothing to discover its height. In fact he never even saw the mountain in his life. It was named after him simply because he was the colonial officer incharge.
This kinda makes me more okay with that fact that we use his name, because now it has taken a life of its own. Especially since the change in pronunciation matches its new 'meaning' - it is the highest place EVER, and to climb to top is like climbing forever: Everest.
@@PKNproductions That's what makes the name of earth's second-highest mountain so great as well. K2 doesn't actually have a proper name, because the letter-number combination was just a way a survey at the time (not sure if it was the same one talked about in the video) categorised mountains. It is so remote that it is unknown whether anybody had ever actually seen the mountain before the surveyors did, and climbing K2 is so much deadlier than climbing Everest that it is rather fitting that it's simply known as K2, rather than being given a name that humanises it.

Surprised this video doesn't mention the intentional inaccuracy of the first measurement. When the British Officer Andrew Scott Waugh first measured and calculated the height of Mt. Everest, his result was exactly 29,000 feet. Not wanting people to think he made a rounding error, he added two feet to get the declared result of 29,002 feet. It also means Waugh can be said to be the first person to ever put his two feet on Mt. Everest ;)
As a surveyor, my respect to all the people that have worked to measure Everest. Very solid video, even though I would have liked the means and methodology of conventional trigonometric surveying and leveling to be explained further.
03:26 the actual measurement in 1855 came out to be exactly 29,000 feet and people at survey of India thought people wouldnt believe such reading as precise hence Waugh (surveyor general) arbitarily added 2 feet and final result was 20,002. Hence its said that Waugh is the first person to put two feet on everest.

@@dan5974 gosh stop. We are Indians and they are Nepalis , they have the mountain thats it. Why the heck you are making a mess then saying that "Indians made it" ? Nepal , Bhutan , Pakistan and Bangladesh are on Indian Subcontinent. We never made it , all the countries on this subcontinent did. Just because our subcontinent is named India doesn't mean other countries don't have any part in making of anything in this subcontinent. I swear I hate when people from my own country are always "taunting" their own neighbouring countries.
I hope that no one climbs Mount Everest now because it is becoming a dumping ground rather than scenic view. Mt. Everest should be a reserved natural habitat rather than a place to gain fame and make records.
I like Vox's engaging content and brilliant story telling. However, I am compelled to point out that the angle notation at 2:23 is used specifically for right angles.

When the Nepalese surveyor took the GPS Static measurement last year, did he have the antenna rod measuring from the highest point of rock, or snowpack? FYI for people reading this who are not trained land surveyors: The maximum accuracy attainable from GPS equipmemt, using phase angle measurement of the L1 and L2 NAVSTAR GPS Satellite carrier frequencies, a Trimble Zephyr Geodetic quality antenna, and correcting the observations using the "Precise Ephemeris" published by the US Geological Survey, is about 15 mm horizontal and 40 mm vertical (measured from the Ellipsoid). To achieve a Circular Error of Position within this accuracy limit depends on a couple of other things: Observations totaling up to several hours every day, at all hours of the day and night for two weeks or more, guaranteeing that the antenna did not move at any time during the observations, and an accurate ground survey between the various control points. Since this GPS survey involved only 1 antenna on 1 mountain top, and not a network of several inter-related control points that could be surveyed and analyzed as a triangulation network, and there was only a single 2-hour long observation, the vertical measurement obtained would have had an accuracy of probably no more than plus-or-minus 100 mm (1/3 of a foot). But still much more accurate than any previous survey of Mount Everest, using optical triangulation with theodolites from observing stations dozens of miles away.
George Everest’s name is pronounced “Eve-wrist” not like the mountain, and there isn’t an Indian Continent. It’s the Indian Subcontinent or the Indian Plate would be better. Loved the discussion on prominence and how old and new technologies face the same problem!
@@penpithmind1941 I agree that it should be Mount "Ever-est" basically because that's what it is universally called. But, I don't think that should change our pronunciation of the guy's actual name, especially since he didn't even want it named after him.
The joint announcement really shows how China and Nepal relationship has improved. In fact, it was caused by the 2015 earthquake mentioned in the video where India blockaded Nepal and they turned to China for help
India wants to end Nepalese-Chinese relation so bad. Although Nepal is neutral between the two, but if Nepal keeps getting free money from China India will lose another neighbor to China.

I think Everest should be renamed to Sagarmatha or Chomolungma
Like how Mt. McKinley was renamed to Denali. Its the highest mountain in North America
whats chomolunga? i agree with the former
It's just Denali. Not Mt. Denali.
Sikdar finded the height, the name should be Mt.Sikdar
@@bleuapricot Sagarmatha is the Nepali name. Chomolungma is the Tibetan name
@@simulify8726 No. It shouldn't be named after anyone. It should be called what it was called by locals for centuries
Kudos to this documentary, they used Nepalese people for interviews rather than Chinese.
Ya ..
I liked that they interviewed Nepalese people, but I would have liked to hear a Chinese surveyor, too.
I've never seen a Western video on Everest that interviewed Chinese. Can you find one on UA-cam?
Last sentence "they will still be on the roof of the world."gives me goosebumb

On top of being a informative video, that's actually a quite beautiful story.
Proud to be a nepali 🇳🇵🇳🇵🇳🇵 😊
Love from nepal🙂

Namaste 🙏
Proud of a thing you never made? We indians are proud of things we made 🤣
@@dan5974 gosh stop. We are Indians and they are Nepalis , they have the mountain thats it. Why the heck you are making a mess then saying that "Indians made it" ? Nepal , Bhutan , Pakistan and Bangladesh are on Indian Subcontinent. We never made it , all the countries on this subcontinent did. Just because our subcontinent is named India doesn't mean other countries don't have any part in making of anything in this subcontinent. I swear I hate when people from my own country are always "taunting" their own neighbouring countries.
@hai bhagwaan! no hatred bro, we are just the best, all other countries should fear us 😁
In Nepal, we call Mount Everest as Sagarmatha. Sagar means sky and matha means forehead which means “forehead of the sky”
Tenzing Norgay Sherpa is from Nepal. Get your facts right.
The geoid graphic looks amazing
I am from NEPAL and I would like you to correct that Tenzing Norgay is from Nepal, only NEPAL.
Not Nepal and India, what does that even mean @Vox ??
Dude check facts. There are more to the story between Norgay, Sherpa and the government at the time after reaching the peak.
Really appreciate your use of the metric system 👍
Apparently George Everest pronounced him own name differently than we all do now. Eve (as in Christmas eve) rest, Eve~rest and not EVerest.
I hope that no one climbs Mount Everest now because it is becoming a dumping ground rather than scenic view. Mt. Everest should be a reserved natural habitat rather than a place to gain fame and make records.
Thanks for mentionin it.. but don't worry Nepal army n Sherpas are on the way to clean up those garbages..
They are beautiful... visitNepal2077
True.
@@eyan1114 the year is ending
Great video, Vox! Explanation was clear and fascinating
So everytime there's a massive earthquake, they are gonna head out there to get the new height ?
I climbed Everest too... On Google maps.

Nepal: “Come check out our rising crust!”
Jay sagarmatha!! hi to everyone from land of Mt. Everest.
I like Vox's engaging content and brilliant story telling. However, I am compelled to point out that the angle notation at 2:23 is used specifically for right angles. When you say basic trigonometry, it has to be a right angled triangle. This doesn't seem to be the case here. Not that it takes away anything ;)
Thank you
All outdoor brands are gansta until you need to climb The Everest, you only wear The North Face!
TNF is city wear junk. They make special runs of equipment for actual mountaineering.
BRUHH, the majority of them uses scarpa/la sportiva shoes, petzl/BD gear (for the technical ascent-abseil part), MH/marmot/sea to summit sleeping bags and lots of other brand to cover the support part of the expedition (solar&batteries, communication means, cooking sets)

Meanwhile Engineer be like :- Why worry.....Just take the average of all readings
Thats...not....how....engineering...works...
Maybe you mean statistician or mathematician. Then it makes sense.
Ok
@@elbaecc engineers do that... Mathematians don't... They thrive for the accurate value..... Statistician on the other hand..... They also do it as they only need to find estimates
@@abhishekkulkarni2918 funny then, how i learned to average things in algebra class....
@@elbaecc you also learn how to diferentiate and integrate in algebra.... So that means engineers don't use calculus
I haven't even started watching and I know this is going to be good.
Cool extra bits of info in the outro, loving it! :D

dont forget the gurkhas hahaha
Because the indian tectonic plate still wants to smash
Actually Indian plate is moving away from the Eurasian plate.
@@gamehacker2801 if its so, the Himalayas wouldn't have been there kn the first place. The Indian plate is STILL buckling up the Eurasian plate.
@@gamehacker2801 that’s just a complete lie lol
@@gamehacker2801 no... There used to have a sea named tethys sea between the eurasian and the indian plate
@@florisk.ios.6416 dude the earthquake in 2015 validated that even more than it was before.
That example triangle had one of the most skew "right" angles I have every seen.
I think it was supposed to be 3d, like we're looking at it from an angle
@@sarahdangelo3168 Looking at 2:24, I doubt that was the intention
Another fantastic content from @vox. Keep it coming !
Can you please do on topics such as ;
1) Harshly treated and misunderstood regarding Asian American with Covid-19.
2) Why is the California governor Gavin Newsom is being recalled ?
3) Situation Of perpetual Covid-19 crises in Europe.
4) Will tourism get back to close as normal

When the Nepalese surveyor took the GPS Static measurement last year, did he have the antenna rod measuring from the highest point of rock, or snowpack? FYI for people reading this who are not trained land surveyors: The maximum accuracy attainable from GPS equipmemt, using phase angle measurement of the L1 and L2 NAVSTAR GPS Satellite carrier frequencies, a Trimble Zephyr Geodetic quality antenna, and correcting the observations using the "Precise Ephemeris" published by the US Geological Survey, is about 15 mm horizontal and 40 mm vertical (measured from the Ellipsoid). To achieve a Circular Error of Position within this accuracy limit depends on a couple of other things: Observations totaling up to several hours every day, at all hours of the day and night for two weeks or more, guaranteeing that the antenna did not move at any time during the observations, and an accurate ground survey between the various control points. Since this GPS survey involved only 1 antenna on 1 mountain top, and not a network of several inter-related control points that could be surveyed and analyzed as a triangulation network, and there was only a single 2-hour long observation, the vertical measurement obtained would have had an accuracy of probably no more than plus-or-minus 100 mm (1/3 of a foot). But still much more accurate than any previous survey of Mount Everest, using optical triangulation with theodolites from observing stations dozens of miles away.
George Everest’s name is pronounced “Eve-wrist” not like the mountain, and there isn’t an Indian Continent. It’s the Indian Subcontinent or the Indian Plate would be better. Loved the discussion on prominence and how old and new technologies face the same problem!
Wat really???
We pronounce EVE-REST. And we not going to change our pronounciation.
@@penpithmind1941 I agree that it should be Mount "Ever-est" basically because that's what it is universally called. But, I don't think that should change our pronunciation of the guy's actual name, especially since he didn't even want it named after him.
@@SputnikCrisis didn't want it named after him? why is that
8848.86 😱😱😱
That .86 has some serious confidence.
Hi from Nepal!
Bye
So why does the height keep changing?? Video should just be titled 'How we measure Mt. Everest's height'
... VOX is the most informative organization. I hope you continue to exist eternally
Do you need me to point out what they got wrong, oversimplified or just glossed over because they are not the most informative organization ever?
Nepal has been independent during and since tenzings lifetime.
I knew Everest high, but I didn't picture a mountain ever being high on drugs until now...
The joint announcement really shows how China and Nepal relationship has improved. In fact, it was caused by the 2015 earthquake mentioned in the video where India blockaded Nepal and they turned to China for help
India wants to end Nepalese-Chinese relation so bad. Although Nepal is neutral between the two, but if Nepal keeps getting free money from China India will lose another neighbor to China.
@@niweshlekhak9646 bro teme Canada ra Nepali wala ho? 😂

The triangle at 2:23 does have a right angle. It's just tilted away from us.

but there is no ocean in mars how they measured.
@@ujjwalkatwal1718 👏 👏 thats the point.. i agree with u
Without comparing others elements, we can't define the heights....
People shold know that the Everest height is based on sea level "without sea it could be even higher than olympus"
Summary: it's from all the bodies piling up
All the human waste too.
At 7:13, in captions, it's 'Sagarmatha' not 'Sagamartha' which loosely translates to 'Goddess of the sky/vastness'
Fabulous video. Thanks a lot.
Nepal and India ?😂 how ?
Only from nepal tenzing norgay sherpa
Yah he was frm Nepal only.. n then aftr he got Indian citizenship
Thos who still thnk Tenzing is frm India then Edmund hillary is also frm Nepal bcz he also got Honourable Nepalese citizenship 😅

because he lived and worked for most of his life, in India.
Yah respected Tenzing was frm Nepal only.. n then aftr he got Indian citizenship

Science- Non- living objects don't change size
Mount Everest- are you challenging me😎
What? Have you ever read science?
You forgot to mention isostatic rebound which happens when the weight of a mountain will actually lower its elevation into the mantel.
