In Asian cultures, the axis mundi is often represented by the [[Bodhi Tree]], [[Mount Fuji]], and the [[Kunlun Mountains]].  In the Christian tradition, [[Jacob's Ladder]], the [[Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil]], the [[Holy Cross]], and the [[Garden of Eden]] are all seen as representations of the axis mundi.  Native American cultures viewed the [[black hills]] as an axis mundi--likewise, central american civilizations constructed temples such as the ones at [[Teotihuacán]] to represent the ascension of man to heaven.
