Dan Simmons' book "The Rise of Endymion" includes a planet known as Tien Shan. It's a world where the only habitable areas are a series of mountain ranges surrounded by a poisonous sea. The mountains are inhabited by humans who emigrated from the same areas of the Tien Shan on Old Earth.
I didn't want to throw this on the page without someone seeing it first.

Can someone rewrite this in English: "The Chinese name for Tian Shan or Tien Shan, may in turn go back to a Xiongnu name, qilian (祁连) reported by the Shiji as the last place where they met and had their baby as in of the Yuezhi, which has been argued[2]" Last place where they met and had their baby? Who are they? Who is the baby? "As of in the Yuezhi" doen't make any sense. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 206.194.127.112 ( talk) 19:37, 27 July 2008 (UTC)
does anyone know the name of the Russian alpinist who climbed the overhang on marble wall?? I believe this was a capsule ascent with portaledge. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Harrythefish ( talk • contribs) 19:07, 7 October 2008 (UTC)
The middle, unnamed, mountain range in inverted S or Z, the top and bottom being Dzungari range and Borohoro range, might be T’a-erh-ch’i-i-leng Shan, at least according to U. of Texas map archive, sheet NL44, lower right portion: http://www.lib.utexas.edu/maps/imw/txu-oclc-6654394-nl-44-2nd-ed.jpg. Have no idea what correct litteration might be, quick googling didn't reveal anything close. The index page is http://www.lib.utexas.edu/maps/imw/index_east_southeast_asia.html. Borohoro range can be seen in upper right corner of sheet NK44. Rayshade ( talk) 15:16, 9 June 2009 (UTC)
Hi, Why is wikipedia editor(s) using spelling 'Tian Shan' instead of the Enc. Britannica accepted 'Tien Shan' ? Any clue? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.193.43.88 ( talk) 02:36, 8 September 2009 (UTC)

In the section Notes, there is Old Turkic 𐰴𐰣 𐱅𐰭𐰼𐰃 which is given as Tenğri tağ, but it should be read as Kan Tenğri. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 185.147.24.20 ( talk) 08:07, 31 May 2019 (UTC)
We now say these mountains "stretch some 2,900 kilometres (1,800 mi) eastward from Tashkent in Uzbekistan." This confuses me. I do not know the region at all well & perhaps it's correct but it seems worth asking.
First, I'd say the range runs mostly north-south starting from the Pamir Knot, not east from Tashkent.
Second, checking online I get 1,527 km for Tashkent-Urumqi distance & I find it hard to believe the range is nearly twice that long. Even Kabul-Urumqi is only 1,884 km.
Can someone clarify? Pashley ( talk) 13:01, 23 April 2024 (UTC)
