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.
