Tree of Life, Mesquite tree in Bahrain
The solitary Prosopis cineraria tree stands 32 feet tall in the middle of the Arabian Desert, without any other vegetation within several kilometers.
Archaeological discoveries near the tree uncovered pottery fragments dating back 500 years, indicating long-term human presence in this location.
Local traditions connect this location to ancient Sumerian and Babylonian myths, with some believing it marks the original Garden of Eden site.
The tree produces yellow resin used in candles and aromatic products, while its beans transform into meal, jam, and wine products.
Despite the absence of visible water sources, the tree maintains its vitality through a root system extending 160 feet into the ground.
