May 29, 1953
May 29, 1953 New Zealander Edmund Hillary and Sherpa Norgay Tenzing was first conquered the highest peak of the Himalayas and the world - Сhomolungma (Sagarmāthā, Everest) - 8848 meters above sea level.
Chomolungma - "Mother - the goddess of the world" - as the inhabitants of Tibet or Sagarmatha call it - "Lord of the World", as Nepalese call it - a giant mountain range and the highest peak of the world, located on the border of Nepal and Tibet.
It attracted the attention of surveyors more than a century ago. The first of these was George Everest, it was his name that was later awarded to the peak in honor of his geographical merit.
The first plan for climbing Mount Everest was developed in 1893, and the first attempt to conquer the mountain was undertaken in 1921. It took more than 30 years and bitter experience of thirteen unsuccessful ascents to conquer Everest for the first time.
May 29, 1953 Hillary and Tenzing climbed to the highest peak of the summit of the Himalayas on the border of Nepal and India, hoisting the flags of Great Britain, Nepal, India and the United Nations there. The news of this reached the rest of the world only four days later - June 2, 1953, the day of the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom.
The Queen of Britain honored Hillary with the knighthood and the right to add the title "sir" to his name. Sherpa Tenzing Norgay, who was not a citizen of the British Commonwealth, received a medal from the queen.
Edmund Hillary devoted many years of his life to working with Sherpas in Nepal, and in 2003, when the world celebrated the 50th anniversary of the conquest of Everest, the New Zealander was awarded the title of honorary citizen of Nepal.
