A relic ... one of the last forests of cedars of Lebanon (Cedrus libani) ... these large trees were once used for the construction of the Temple of Jerusalem (the spiritual center of the ancient Jews), the thrones and the ceremonial boats of the Pharaohs, in vessels of the Phoenicians, etc. .... In 1876, Queen Victoria sponsored the construction of an wall that protects the last cedars in the forest of Bsharri (Becharre) (see photo) .... today, as in the past, the cedars of Lebanon are a symbol of the country, as we can see in its flag.
