	CEDARS OF LEBANON
		"Cedar was thought to be the prize which all the states of the Near East coveted, and for which the empires of Egypt and Mesopotamia were prepared to fight." [Meiggs, p.55] Accounts abound concerning the diminution of cedar timber in the mountains of Lebanon as a result of tribute payments.
		The wood of the cedar, unlike the fir, resisted rot and insects and was very durable, as was demonstrated in the temple of Artemis at Ephesus, the roof-beams of which were of cedar and still in good condition four hundred years later.
		Cedar wood was used as a means of control, in the form of taxation, as well as leverage, in the form of timber sanctions on Egypt.

		The Cedrus libani is native to Lebanon and to the Taurus Mountains of Syria and Sou thern Turkey.
		For example, to manage the cedars of Bcharre, one needs to be aware of more than the mere 7 hectares of the area and the trees within that confine; water pollution, air po llution, soil erosion could all negatively contribute to the stress of the tree and thus lead to its weakening state.
		Clearly, the state of the cedars in particular, and the woods in particular, is dangerous and detrimental to the health of the environment in Lebanon, as well as injurious to the natural history and natural culture of this magnificent country.

	Paghat's Garden: Myths of the Cedar of Lebanon
		The name of Lebanon is the same as the semitic Moon-goddess Lebanah, "She That Is White." It is no coincidence that the word for Cedar, Erez, is nearly homonymous with Hebrew words meaning heat, or sun, so that we also find the Cedar associated with Sun-gods & weather-gods throughout the biblical world.
		Zechariah similarly personifies Lebanon as a wailing-woman (a role signal to the Goddess Anath who wailed over the death of Baal) whose cedar is devoured in fire — the other wailing-women included personified cypress trees that wailed for the destruction of this hypostatic goddess-like Lebanon cedar [Zech 11:2-3].
		That Zechariah assumes this ruin of Lebanon is done through fire is a typical Yahwist cursing method of reversing the sacred things of rival deities to become their destruction; the Cedar-mother's brother-consort being a Fire-god, Storm-god, or the Sun, she must be destroyed by the very power She thought could protect her.

	Lebanon Ceder Tree
		The origin of the name Cedar is somewhat doubtful; but it is probably a Semitic word allied to the Arabic "kedre," meaning "power." But, though so frequently mentioned in the Bible, in classical writers, and by early travelers, the tree itself was certainly not brought to England before the latter part of the seventeenth century.
		The most striking characters of the Lebanon Cedar are the numerous large and wide-spreading horizontal branches and the broad and flattened summit of the full-grown tree.
		The Cedar is not difficult to raise from seed, nor is it at all exacting in the matter of soil; but unfortunately, in spite of Arab tradition, it suffers great damage from the accumulation of snow on the flat fan-like expansions of its evergreen branches.

		The Cedar Revolution was a reaction of outrage at the assassination of Rafik Hariri, a former prime minister who was killed in a bomb explosion on Valentine's Day 2005.

		Five thousand cedar saplings at the Maysaloun nursery on the Damascus-Beirut road have been waiting for months to be transported to Lebanon, unexpected victims of the renewed animosity that divides the two countries.
		The nursery, which grows fir, cypress as well as cedar, is nestled among hills where France's Army of the Levant, composed mainly of Senegalese soldiers, crossed from Lebanon and defeated a hopelessly under-equipped Syrian force in the 1920 Battle of Maysaloun, starting a 26-year occupation of Syria.
		Cedars are also found in Turkey and Syria, which is replanting forests in the mountains and hills west of Damascus that were destroyed during Ottoman times.

	Lebanon's Hollow 'Cedar Revolution'- by Justin Raimondo
		Lebanon's "Cedar Revolution" is a case in point, one that illustrates the entirely illusory nature of the media hype — which is, unsurprisingly, identical to the U.S. government's official line.
		Divided into a bewildering array of ethno-religious and political fiefdoms, Lebanon has managed to survive the foibles of majority rule largely by avoiding centralization and devolving power back to the various clans, parties, and religious groups that constitute, in effect, a collection of mini-states.
		In any case, everyone in Lebanon is now wrapping themselves in the mantle of a politician whose abilities to cut a deal were legendary: all factions now invoke his name.

		As part of the purification ritual undergone by a metzora (a leprosy-like condition afflicting people who badmouthed others) a priest would dip pieces or cedar and azov (zatar or marjoram) in blood from a slaughtered bird, which would then be sprinkled on the foul mouthed metzora.
		The cedar, a tall and mighty tree, was meant to remind the metzora that belittling others was a sign of haughtiness while azov, a low growing sub-shrub or ground cover, represented the contrasting trait of humility that the metzora should adopt.
