Also one of my favorite geography-related myths is about how Kathmandu Valley used to be a lake until the bodhisattva Manjusri (if you’re Buddhist) or the avatar Krishna (if you’re Hindu) cut a canyon with his sword emptying the water into the Indian subcontinent in order to create a home for the first inhabitants there. Some of the world heritage sites there are templars that relate to this myth
