Looks like a cedar tree to me. Lebanon's cedar
trees are mentioned in The Bible.

You got me. Yes, I think it IS a Cedar tree, not a cyprus.

Incidentally, I recall that the island of Cyprus is named for the
element copper, heavily mined on the island and smelted (with the help
of the CEDAR trees for the furnace).
