1835 Hermon Lebanon Mount Djebel
EDITORS COMMENTS
This image, circa 1835, offers a glimpse into the rich history of Lebanon's iconic Mount Hermon, specifically featuring Djebel Sheich and Mount Hermon. The mountain range, located in the eastern part of Lebanon and the western part of Syria, has been a significant part of human history for thousands of years. Mount Hermon, known as Jabal al-Shaykh in Arabic, has been a source of fascination for travelers, scholars, and pilgrims throughout history. The mountain range is home to several religious sites, including the Hermon Cedars, which are mentioned in the Bible and are considered sacred to various faiths. In this photograph, we see the snow-capped peaks of Mount Hermon and Djebel Sheich, which stands at an elevation of approximately 2,814 meters (9,232 feet). The image also reveals the lush greenery and rolling hills that surround the mountains, creating a breathtaking contrast against the clear blue sky. At the time this photograph was taken, the region was under Ottoman rule. The Ottoman Empire, which ruled much of the Middle East from the late 13th century until the early 20th century, left a significant impact on the cultural and historical landscape of Lebanon and the surrounding areas. The Ottomans built several fortresses and caravanserais along the trade routes, which can still be seen today. This photograph is a testament to the enduring beauty and historical significance of Mount Hermon and the surrounding region. It invites us to explore the fascinating history and culture of Lebanon and the Middle East, while also reminding us of the importance of preserving these precious natural and historical treasures for future generations.
