if sea level is brought up to that height

Water evaporation alone would make the air remarkably more dense than it is at Everest without an ocean

And before you introduce the seashells and fossils that can be found atop the mountain, that's because it was originally the seabed of the Tethys Ocean back in the "Ordovician".
Merry Christmas by the way, hope you are having a good'yin.
what's the evidence the specific evidence that Mt Everest was once in the bottom of the ocean?

I'm not andy but I'm gonna drop my two cents here, wouldn't the specific evidence that Mt Everest was once in the bottom of the ocean be the seashells and fossils that can be found atop the mountain?
Are they not mostly bottom dwelling creatures?
So, let's say the water rose 2,000 feet every 10 days, almost reaching the height of everest after 40 days, do you think the bottom dwelling crustaceans would have left their food source to climb everest, which has nothing for them to eat in the last 10 days of rain?
That seems to me like a very short period of time for that type of change.
Something certainly did happen fast and final in a very short time

Like Wooley mammoths frozen with tropical vegetation still in their stomachs in the arctic circle?

Mount Everest is not located in the Arctic Circle.
Mount Everest is part of the Himalayan mountain range and is situated in Asia, on the border between Nepal and Tibet in China.

LOL.
I CANNOT make this stuff up.
This is where you start harping on about pole shifts and Adam and Eve climate theory by Chan Thomas.
Which is once again nothing more than pseudoscientific nonsense and contrary to our understanding of plate tectonics.

No, that would indicate that what is considered tropical vegetation existed around the place they were flash frozen.
Or are you suggesting woolly mammoths were so fast they could run to the tropics for lunch and be back in Siberia before they could digest lunch?

The obvious answer is gravity was lighter at the Arctic circle...

Gravity is essentially the same everywhere on Earth's surface.
Its a fundamental force that attracts objects with mass toward each other.
I suppose there are indeed slight variations in Earth's gravity.
But they are relatively small and generally not perceptible in daily life.
Cant see how Whooley Mammoths would have known much about gravity all the same.

As far as I know gravity is the same as in the tropics, why would it need to be lighter for "tropical plants" to exist?
I'm not seeing why gravity is the obvious answer.
There are cave drawings of them in full gallop
So are you postulating that they galloped up there after eating dinner in the tropics only to be flash frozen even before they could digest their dinner they had thousands of miles away?
