Seven Mountains

Many times in the Book of Enoch it is recorded how Enoch visited seven mountains. Now usually the impression is given that they were together. It might be that each set of seven is separate, because each occassion gives the set of seven a special set of chatacteristics. It is usual that they are described as volcanoes. Sometimes one of these is described as highest perhaps in the region or highest in the world known to the Sumerian audience of Enoch. Interestingly there is today a known set of seven volcanoes spanning the main continents https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volcanic_Seven_Summits and one of these is actually the highest mountain in the Middle East world of Enoch's primary audience, Mount Damarvand https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mount_Damavand so could this mountain have very special significance such as site of the cavernous crystal-and-fire-walled caves of the throne place of God?
