Even in the midst of the most brutal winter, cedar displays its serene defiance to the world. Three centuries of life cannot mar its majesty. It appears in the depths of the world's epochs. Cedar Moutain is the home of the gods in the heroic epic of Gilgamesh, where it is said that the smell of the tree brings joy to the heart. From it, the Mesopotamians made admirable temple doors.
