The Fourth Mound boasts of two very high mountains. The Eighth, Eleventh, and Fourteenth describe plateaus, while the Seventh to the Fourteenth mentions towns and harbours. The exact locations of these towns are not given, although the Fourteenth mentions the name of a town called Keraha and is described as a shipping port which has been associated with the town of Heliopolis which lies northeast of ancient Memphis and on the edge of the Delta region. The Seventh Mound is described as being far out of sight, while the Eight Mound is associated with high and mighty waves suggesting a large expanse of ocean nearby.The overall impression painted by The Book of Mounds is one of a mountainous or hilly land with valleys, fertile lands, towns and shipping ports located somewhere beyond a large expanse of water.
