This article compares the mythical geography of the northern polar regions in two very distinct traditions: a western European tradition based on a lost 14th century book titled Inventio fortunata, and the traditional Brahmanic Hindu and Buddhist conception of the earth. Both of these traditions involve a high mountain at the top of the world and water flowing in or out from this mountain in four streams that flow as if to the four cardinal points. Both traditions were represented cartographically. It is extremely unlikely that one of these traditions influenced the other; rather, it is an interesting case of strong similarities between two completely distinct conceptions of sacred centers., Este artículo compara la geografía mítica de las regiones polares septentrionales en dos tradiciones muy distintas: la europea occidental que se basó en un libro perdido del siglo XIV titulado Inventio fortunata, y la concepción tradicional budista y brahamánica hindú de la tierra. Ambas tradiciones involucran una gran montaña en la cima del mundo y agua que fluye hacia adentro o hacia afuera de ella en cuatro corrientes hacia los cuatro puntos cardinales. Ambas tradiciones se representaron cartográficamente. Es muy improbable que una de estas tradiciones haya influido a la otra; más bien es un caso interesante de fuertes similitudes entre dos concepciones completamente diferentes de centros sagrados.
