The book also suggests that the towering bastion of stone, shaped like the keel of a ship, which rose from behind the Great Gates on the first level to the citadel on the seventh, was a quarter of a mile tall (1 320 feet). However this height does not take into account the Tower of Ecthelion, which was situated on the seventh level, meaning that in total the city is some 1,620 feet tall (493.7 m). This means that the city's total height is somewhere between 1,000 feet (304.8 m) and 1,620 feet (493.7 m).</del></div></td><td colspan="2" class="diff-side-added"></td></tr>

There is no sea bringing the east and west seas to meet via two straights. it's located under the far eastern Land of the sun. Antarctica is also white. Lemuria and sounds better, with nearby Red sea which connects eastern and western seas via two straights. Then that leaves Africa and Arabian peninsula, or Lemuria as Dark Land</p>
