Donald Lopez has a chapter on Meru in his book, Buddhism and
Science:A Guide for the Preplexed.
 
Meru, too, is an interesting topic.
 
I wonder if you have entertained the viewpoint that text
described the earth in the context of descriptive geometry
(representation of 3D objects in 2D)?
 
Mount Meru as North Pole?

As Mt Kailash? Or as Antartica?

Best wishes,

science vs. 2D symbolism? You keep on asking us questions without
stating your views, so I'm wondering, what's your point?
