Cedar or Cedar is a tree that was planted by Zoroastrians according to Zoroastrians.. This tree was very beautiful and large and was praised by the people and its fame went to Mutawakel Khalifa Abbasi. The caliph ordered the tree to be cut down, and the Zoroastrians' offer of 50,000 gold coins not to cut the tree was not accepted, and they cut it down and took it to Baghdad for the caliph.. The day before the tree arrived in Baghdad, Mutawakel was killed, and this was in accordance with Zarathustra's prophecy attributed to Zarathustra, who said that whoever cut down the tree would be killed.. This cypress was more than 1400 years old when it was cut down. You have often heard the story of the Kashmar cypress.
