NO Google here.

Everest was thought of by either John or Paul, (I think)!
They were to go to there to have the album shoot be taken with them near it,,thinking nothing is bigger than Everest, as well as The Beatles. Probably didn't go over with George. With that, the degree of difficulty, cost and time, it was thought by MAYBE Martin, to just do the shoot at the studio's road, which is the same name as the EMI studios.

There have been many rumors of Paul's death from the album cover "hints", with the VW Beetle having "28 IF" being part of the license plate, as 28 being Paul's next birthday age IF he would still be alive. The Beatles claimed they had nothing to do with any such rumors. They would state that with so many fans already thinking up stuff on their own through the years, they would never have to!

Paul walked barefoot, (said it was a warm day and wanted to take off his shoes), and held a cigarette in the opposite hand he would usually hold one. Many pointed to those things too, as being "proof" he was dead. (Thinking that a right handed imposter was filling in for Paul, in other words). LOL

Other pointed some things about the other Beatles too, (as in their clothes and "why"), but I'll pass those rumors over to others here to talk about.

Everest is BIG, as of course were/are The Beatles, and so the intent of the album cover to put The Beatles and Everest together.
