If it mattered to them at all - there are ancient things buried at the top of some of the Andes, but in Europe mountains mostly just seem to have been seen as messy - places you can't do anything useful with.

When the survey measured its baseline in 1802 sea level meant high water, but at some time after that it was decided to use a mean, and they had to redo all their sums.

There's a standard sea level now, at least for the UK (and probably people like you!), but I can't remember if it's based on Liverpool or Falmouth. I think it changed from one to the other at some point...
