Hemodos/Imaus/Caucasus (mountains)

natural · 330 BC – 2100 AD

Although ancient, western commentators varied in their precision and ideas about location, they seem all to have meant by these names a single range or mountainous region corresponding to the modern notion of the Himalaya or at least the eastern portion of what we today consider the Hindu Kush, Pamir, and Himalaya ranges.
