Dr. T. G. Longstaff made an attempt to climb Gurla Mandhata in 1905, and attained a great height, possibly exceeding 23000 feet, but failed to reach the summit.   Gurla Mandhata, or Naimona'nyi or Memo Nani is the highest peak of the Nalakankar Himal, a small subrange of the Himalaya. It lies in Burang County of the Ngari Prefecture in the Tibet Autonomous Region of China, near the northwest corner of Nepal. GURLA MANDHATA Elevation: 7,694 m (25,243 ft) Ranked 34th In 1878 Mr. Ryall wrote of this mountain as follows: Gurla Mandhata, which is 3500 feet higher than Kailas, is held in comparatively  little religious esteem among the Buddhists and Hindus. Owing to its immense bulk and height—3000 feet above any peak within a radius of 40 miles—it is perhaps the most impressive sight in the whole of the Himalaya, the celebrated mountain of Nanga Parbat alone excepted.  GURLA MANDHATA Location: Tibet, China Range: Nalakankar Himal, Himalaya Coord

No fewer than four emperors took the throne in the tumultuous year after Nero’s death; the fourth, Vespasian, would end up ruling for 10 years (A.D. 69-79). The Flavian emperors, as Vespasian and his sons Titus (79-81) and Domitian (81-96) were known, attempted to tone down the excesses of the Roman court, restore Senate authority and promote public welfare. Around 70-72, Vespasian returned to the Roman people the lush land near the center of the city, where Nero had built an enormous palace for himself after a great fire ripped through Rome in A.D. 64. On the site of that Golden Palace, he decreed, would be built a new amphitheater where the public could enjoy gladiatorial combats and other forms of entertainment. Did You Know? Archaeologists believe that the Colosseum cont
