Mother Goddess Mountain Denied Her Name

The mountain we call today "Everest" had a name long before Sir George Everest was a gleam in his father's eye.  Of course it did!  Duh! 

According to Wikipedia, the mountain was called, variously:  Qomolangma Peak (Tibetan), Mount Sagarmāthā (Nepali), Chajamlangma (Limbu), Zhumulangma Peak (Chinese: Zhūmùlǎngmǎ Fēng) or Mount Chomolangma.

The history of how "Mount Everest" was named is a total and absolute insult to the great Mother Goddess.  Anyone with a brain can easily see that in common in all of these names is MA - MOTHER.

Barbara Walker's The Woman's Encyclopedia of Myths and Secrets says:

Chomo-Lung-Ma
"Goddess Mother of the Universe," the real name of the world's highest mountain, which westerners renamed Everest after a man.  This masculine name was bestowed on the Goddess Mother in 1863 by foreign invaders who preferred to attach patriarchal surnames to everything.(1)

Notes:
(1)  Encyc. Brit., "Everest, Sir George."
