The Methuselah Tree is a story about a cursed tree that grows in the mountains of Lebanon. It is said to have been planted by Noah during his voyage on the Ark. The people who live near it are forced to harvest its fruit every three days and then take the fruit elsewhere, lest they be punished for eating from it themselves.
Residents of nearby villages offer little explanation as to why this curse has been placed upon them but many believe that God will punish those who disobey him in such a way if they do not abide by his rules.
When It All Began
The story of the tree stretches back to when Noah was on his voyage with the Ark. He planted a Methuselah Tree in Lebanon and told its residents that they must harvest its fruit every three days, or God will punish them for eating from it themselves
Some believe this curse is there because people have disobeyed their god by not abiding by these rules
Others think since no one knows where the tree’s location is anyone who eats its fruit would be guilty of stealing
But others say if we were able to find out more about how long ago this happened we may better understand why it exists today
Oldest Tree In The World
The Methuselah Tree is one of the oldest trees in the world
Some believe it’s location was written down by Noah himself, before he died or left this Earth
Others say there may be a clue within its name – “methuselah” means “from his death.”
It could mean that when people eat from this tree they are bringing themselves closer to their own deaths.
Though some think eating from it might have become necessary for survival because God cursed them with death due to disobedience
No one knows what will happen if we continue breaking these rules and forsaking our godly responsibilities as custodians of nature but many fear we will only find out once its too late.
The video takes a very interesting approach by speaking poetically. It highlights the factors that contribute to the tree’s physical properties. One of the important things to highlight is how it was able to cope throughout the years. Along with the sturdiness of the tree, the video also depicts the different civilizations it has seen through generations.
The documentary also showed the journey of experts who have been trying to pinpoint the marking dates of civilizations through the tree rings. The process shown in the video was very detailed. It also had interviews of experts who were engaged in these researches. It was also interesting to note the scientific explanation of the coping properties of the tree. This provided concrete evidence of how it withstood time.
The interviews in the documentary interconnected with the poetic narrative that provided more light to the amazing resilience of the Methuselah tree. The progress that experts have made may have meant a lot to their community. However, the video closed with a stronger promise that there is more to the shreds of evidence that experts have uncovered. It was a promising activity for the scientific community, but more importantly, there is more promise to humanity.
The video showed how much value dating back the tree is. On the same note that the Methuselah tree was a wonder to behold because of the age, it has reached. But more importantly, understanding it also meant that there is so much more to discover over time.
