| According to the legend, at 930 years, Adam, who was fired
from the paradise with Eve, feels that he will die and decides to request
from God to excuses him and all the human ones. For that reason, he sends
his son Chyte to the gardens of the paradise. The guardian angel, gives him
three seeds what are torn off from the tree of good/bad and says him to bury
his father by putting them in his mouth. Adam dies and is buried to the
valley of Hebron, close to Tabor mountain.
In the Mediterranean legends, the olive tree was called "Immortal Tree" or
"Life Tree". It was always a part of human life, and gave pleasure, beauty,
health to human ones sometimes with its fruits or its oil. In many cultures,
like egyptians same as romans or grecs, olive has been also the source of
beauty, health, except being a food.
