The Oregon Buttes are small buttes, near the Oregon Trail, in what is now the state of Wyoming.
They are just past South Pass, and are two flat-topped summits plus a smaller, conical one. For travelers on the Oregon Trail, the buttes were on the horizon for a day's travel, perhaps more. This was as they crossed Rock Creek, then Willow Creek, and, for the last time, the Sweetwater River.
The Herodeion (Ancient Greek: Ἡρώδειον), in Latin: Herodium, in Modern Hebrew: הרודיון Herodion, known in Arabic as Jabal al-Fureidis (Arabic: جبل فريديس, lit. '"Mountain of the Little Paradise"') is a fortified desert palace built by Herod the Great, king of Judaea, in the first century BCE. The complex stands atop a hill in the Judaean Desert, approximately 12 kilometres (7.5 mi) south of Jerusalem and 5 kilometres (3.1 mi) southeast of Bethlehem, between Beit Ta'mir, Za'atara to the east and Jannatah, Tekoa and Nokdim to the west. The site is located at an elevation of 758 meters (2,487 ft) above sea level.
Herodium was originally built by Herod to commemorate his victory in 40 BCE over the Hasmonean ruler Antigonus II Mattathias during their struggle for control of Judaea. The site stands atop an artificial, cone-shaped hill that dominates the surrounding landscape and can be seen from Jerusalem. At its summit, Herod's engineers built a fortified palace with double walls, towers, a Roman-style bathhouse, banquet halls, and residential quarters. At the base, a lower palace complex was built complete with gardens, courtyards, and a large pool fed by aqueducts. According to the historian Josephus, Herod was buried at the site following his death in 4 BCE.
Lausche (Czech: Luž) is the highest peak of the Lusatian Mountains and the highest mountain in the German part of the Upper Lusatia region at 793 metres (2,602 ft). The conical mountain is part of the Zittau Mountains range, situated on the border of the German state of Saxony with the Liberec Region of the Czech Republic.
King Buppan Peak is a prominent conical hill rising to approximately 2,487 feet (758 m), about 4 miles south from the coast or of King Buppan Bluff. Its southern flank descends in a gentle 2.5-mile slope before ascending abruptly to the summit, which forms a distinctive deep hollow notch against the much higher ridge immediately behind it—part of the loftiest section of the cordillera, reaching 7,140 feet (2,176 m) at roughly 15 miles inland from the coast. The name derives from the Miskito people, with buppan (from bappan, the preterite of bapaia, “to anchor, to plant, to stand upright”) yielding the meaning “where the king anchored,” a reference to the tradition that the Miskito Kings frequently visited the site.
