Mount Timur might have been located in the Tahtalı Mountains. Its tallest peak, Bey Dağı, with an elevation of 3075 m, is one possible location for Mount Timur; that mountain range forms a natural boundary between the kingdoms of Tabālu and Meliddu. Of course, it is possible that one of the other peaks in the Tahtalı Mountains could be the Timur mentioned in Assyrian royal inscriptions
