Holy and Immortal Tree - Olive

Archaeological research until now has proven that olive cultivation existed 6,000 years ago. It is obvious that this history, along with developing technology and interest, will be based on much older ones. The Motherland/Homeland of the Olive, is the Upper Mesopotamian region located on Anatolian soil. The first culture was taken and reformed by Samis. In ancient civilisation inscriptions, legends and scriptures mentioned olive tree as well as illustrated 140 times in Torah & Bibel each and 6 times in the Quran. Throughout the history, this tree has been counted, loved, admired and blessed by all societies. The olive branch is the crown of kings and symbol of peace. The olympic athlete's medal was made of olive branch, the warriors greased their bodies with olive oil, Anatolian wrestlers were wrestling with the oil of this holy tree. Places of worship, hospitals, houses enlightened with it, doctors healed wounds with it. In other words, the olive tree is not just a plant; it is toughness, medicine, ointment, lightness, history of humanity, life itself.

The tree of immortality, which we didn't even notice passing by, saw the first human to invent the wheel, perhaps the scrolls printed by the first printing press. Perhaps Prophet Solomon sat in its shadow, perhaps Farabi, perhaps Archimedes, perhaps Leonardo, perhaps Avicenna.

It is obvious that this holy tree existed long before humankind and will remain be here long after we gone.
