Moron (ancient city)
Moron was an ancient city mentioned by Strabo. Several hypothesis exist related to its location, but a location near Santarém is strongly considered.
Strabo mentions that Decimus Junius Brutus Callaicus made camp on an island near the city identified as modern Almourol on the river Tagus.
Other hypothesis point to Alpiarça.

Mountain
A mountain is a large landform that stretches above the surrounding land in a limited area, usually in the form of a peak. A mountain is generally steeper than a hill. Mountains are formed through tectonic forces or volcanism. These forces can locally raise the surface of the earth. Mountains erode slowly through the action of rivers, weather conditions, and glaciers. A few mountains are isolated summits, but most occur in huge mountain ranges.
High elevations on mountains produce colder climates than at sea level. These colder climates strongly affect the ecosystems of mountains: different elevations have different plants and animals. Because of the less hospitable terrain and climate, mountains tend to be used less for agriculture and more for resource extraction and recreation, such as mountain climbing.
The highest mountain on Earth is Mount Everest in the Himalayas of Asia, whose summit is 8,850 m (29,035 ft) above mean sea level. The highest known mountain on any planet in the Solar System is Olympus Mons on Mars at 21,171 m (69,459 ft).

David OReilly (artist)

Work
Aside from a 1-minute film entitled Ident, from which he draws his logo, the earliest work available on his website is WOFL2106. This short draws equally on original designs and popular internet memes to create a disturbing landscape of serenity juxtaposed with chaos. This film sets the tone for his entire œuvre, though the direct inclusion of outside memes disappears in his later work.
He created several animation sequences and props for the 2007 film Son of Rambow, as well as animation for the "guide" sequences in The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, with Shynola.
He created the first video for Irish rock band U2's single "I'll Go Crazy If I Don't Go Crazy Tonight". The video was released on U2.com on July 21, 2009.
In 2007, he produced the surreal short film "RGB XYZ" which tells the story of a young man kicked out of his parents' house to work in the big city, while using low poly graphics, compression artifacts, text to speech voices, jarring color palettes, and discordant tones.
