📍 Location:
Sarv-e Abarkuh (Cypress of Abarkuh)
This is not just a tree; it is a living witness to history, with an estimated age of 4,000 to 5,000 years. It has seen the birth of civilizations and the fall of empires. It is the oldest living being in Iran and one of the oldest organisms on the planet. A perfect embodiment of resilience that does not bow before time.
🌿🌲 Cypress — Resilience
A vertical axis that does not break under time.
The cypress (Sarv) in Persian culture symbolizes dignity and inner strength. It grows straight, unbent by desert winds, remaining green where survival itself is a challenge. For this reason, it became an image of a human being who preserves integrity through hardship.
For Persia, the cypress represents cultural and moral resilience. Empires collapsed and capitals shifted, yet the cultural spine endured. The cypress creates a sense of continuity: a nation may lose its form, but not its backbone. It embodies endurance without aggression and strength without cruelty.
