caption_attribution_description: English: Commemorative sign honoring two ancient native Lebanese olive trees — in Bechealeh, northern Lebanon. Claimed to be 6,000 to 7,000 years old, which if it could be verified, would make them the oldest trees in the world. Sign given to the village by the Ministry of Tourism after the trees' possible age was publicized in 1999.

  Folklore claims that two olive trees in Bcheale are between five and seven thousand years old".
  But after a long study in French Laboratories in 2017, the trees turned out to be a bit older than two thousand years. But that's still good news for the folks living there since people thought that these trees being older than Jesus is a lie and it's just something made up by the hotel owners.
