Amnemachine [Mountain] - Amnemachine

Japanese: アムネマチン[山] - アムネマチン

It is the main peak of the mountain range that is the eastern branch of the Kunlun Mountains in southeastern Qinghai Province, China, and is located within the great bend of the Yellow River in Qinghai Province, China. In Chinese characters, it is called Animaqing Mountain, also known as Stone-Pile Mountain. It is also called Animaqing Mountain (the central Tibetan pronunciation). In 1944, a US military pilot flying from China to Burma reported that there was a peak higher than Everest (8,848m) in the depths of China, and the name of the mysterious mountain Amnemaqin suddenly became known around the world. The correct altitude was later announced as 7,160m, and was further corrected to 6,282m when it was opened to the outside world in 1980. There are more than 10 high peaks, and in 1960, a climbing team from the Beijing Geological Institute was the first to summit the second peak (6,268m), and the main peak (Maqinggangri) was the first to be summited by a climbing team from the Japanese Joetsu Mountaineering Association (led by Yuzo Tada) in May 1981. Amnematin (pronounced by the Tibetan people living at the foot of the mountain) means "the supreme attendant of the living Buddha," but is usually used to mean "the mountain of the gods."

Japanese:

中国，青海省南東部にあり，崑崙(こんろん)山脈の東方への分岐をなす山脈の主峰で，中国青海省の黄河大湾曲部内に位置する。漢字では阿尼瑪卿山，別名積石山。アニエマチェンとも（チベット中央部の発音）。1944年，中国からビルマへ向かう米軍機パイロットの報告から，中国奥地にエベレスト（8848m）を上回る高峰が存在するとして，謎の山アムネマチンの名は一躍世界に知れ渡った。その後，正しい標高は7160mと発表され，さらに1980年の対外開放時に6282mと再訂正された。10余の高峰があり，1960年，北京地質学院登山隊がII峰（6268m）に初登頂し，主峰（瑪卿崗日）は日本の上越山岳協会登山隊（多田勇三隊長）が1981年５月初登頂に成功。アムネマチン（山麓に住むチベット族の発音）は〈活き仏の最高の従者〉を意味するが，通常は〈神の山〉の意として使われている。
