===Anthropomorphic geography=== {{Main|Breast-shaped hill}} There are many mountains named after the breast because they resemble it in appearance and so are objects of religious and ancestral veneration as a fertility symbol and of well-being. In Asia, there was "Breast Mountain", which had a cave where the [[Buddhist monk]] [[Bodhidharma]] (Da Mo) spent much time in [[meditation]].<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.usashaolintemple.org/chanbuddhism-history/ |title=The Story of Bodhidharma |publisher=Usashaolintemple.org |access-date=31 October 2011 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111130054841/http://www.usashaolintemple.org/chanbuddhism-history/ |archive-date=30 November 2011 |url-status=live }}</ref> Other such breast mountains are [[Mount Elgon]] on the [[Uganda]]–[[Kenya]] border; {{lang|gd|[[Lochnagar|Beinn Chìochan]]|italic=no}} and the [[Maiden Paps, Caithness|Maiden Paps]] in Scotland; the {{lang|tl|[[Mount Tagapo|Bundok ng Susong Dalaga]]|italic=no}} ('Maiden's breast mountains') in [[Talim Island]], Philippines, the twin hills known as the [[Paps of Anu]] ({{lang|ga|Dá Chích Anann}} or 'the breasts of [[Anu (goddess)|Anu]]'), near [[Killarney]] in Ireland; the 2,086 m high {{Lang|es|Tetica de Bacares|italic=no}} or {{lang|es|La Tetica|italic=no}} in the {{lang|es|[[Sierra de Los Filabres]]|italic=no}}, Spain; {{lang|th-Latn|[[Khao Nom Sao]]|italic=no}} in Thailand, {{lang|es|[[Cerro Las Tetas]]|italic=no}} in [[Puerto Rico]]; and the Breasts of Aphrodite in [[Mykonos]], among many others.
