Qadisha Valley and Cedars of Lebanon | وادي قاديشا والأرز

Qadisha valley and the cedars of God, Bsharri | LEBANON, enjoy the majestic sceneries in our beautiful LEBANON.
The Gibran Kahlil Gibran Hometown.
"Lebanon" Switzerland of the middle east! that's what they say, well this Analogy is shaking somehow but wait! except..many things... and surely these Swiss alike mountains and valleys... cheer up and have faith in our beautiful LEBANON.
Qadisha Valley also known as the Saints Valley and Qannoubine/Kannoubine valley, in Arabic Wadi Qadisha
The Cedars of God (Arabic: أرز الربّ‎‎ Arz ar-Rabb “Cedars of the Lord”) is one of the last vestiges of the extensive forests of the Lebanon Cedar, Cedrus libani , that once thrived across Mount Lebanon in ancient times. Their timber was exploited by the Phoenicians, Egyptians, Assyrians, Babylonians, Persians, Romans, and Turks. The wood was prized by Egyptians for ship building; the Ottoman Empire used the cedars in railway construction.
The mountains of Lebanon were once shaded by thick cedar forests and the tree is the symbol of the country. After centuries of persistent deforestation, the extent of these forests has been markedly reduced.
It was once said that a battle occurred between the demigods and the humans over the beautiful and divine forest of Cedar trees near southern Mesopotamia. This forest, once protected by the Sumerian god Enlil, was completely bared of its trees when humans entered its grounds 4700 years ago, after winning the battle against the guardians of the forest, the demigods.The story also tells that Gilgamesh used cedar wood to build his city.
Over the centuries, cedar wood was exploited by the Phoenicians, Egyptians, Assyrians, Babylonians, Persians, Romans, and Turks.The Phoenicians used the Cedars for their merchant fleets. They needed timbers for their ships and the Cedar woods made them the “first sea trading nation in the world”.The Egyptians used cedar resin for the mummification process and the cedar wood for some of “their first hieroglyph bearing rolls of papyrus”. In the Bible, Solomon procured cedar timber to build the Temple in Jerusalem.The emperor Hadrian claimed these forests as an imperial domain, and destruction of the cedar forests was temporarily halted.
Time, along with the exploitation of the Cedars’ wood, has led to a decrease in the number of cedar trees in Lebanon. However, Lebanon is still widely known for its cedar tree history, as they are the emblem of the country and the symbol of the Lebanese flag. The remaining trees survive in mountainous areas, where they are the dominant tree species. This is the case on the slopes of Mount Makmel that tower over the Kadisha Valley, where the Cedars of God are found at an altitude of more than 2,000 metres (6,600 ft). Four trees have reached a height of 35 metres, with their trunks reaching 12-14 metres.
Qadisha Valley, also romanized as the kadisha Valley and also known as the Quadisha Gorge or Wadi Kadisha, is a gorge that lies within the Becharre and Zgharta Districts of the North Governorate of Lebanon. The valley was carved by the Qadisha River, also known as the Nahr Abu Ali when it reaches Tripoli. Quadisha means “Holy” in Aramaic, and the valley, sometimes called the Holy Valley. It has sheltered Christian monastic communities for many centuries. The valley is located at the foot of Mount al-Makmal in northern Lebanon.

In my virtual tour of the world, it is the first time that I see a country through the lens of a citizen of it. I am very satisfied to know your country under your lens. It is more than a hobby. It is a high level job. I consider it a spiritual work, carried out by an excellent professional, with a lot of respect, concentration, discipline, passion, love for his country and good music. It is a beautiful country, a treasure that must be protected. I hope that one day this work that you do will become part of the cultural heritage of your country and will reach all the libraries of the municipalities of the country, for the enrichment and enjoyment of all its nationals and foreigners. A beautiful legacy that you leave to your country and your children. You must be very proud. ¡God must be smiling! ¡Shukraan! Najib blessings from Medellín, Colombia, S.A.
