==Mount Hermon==

In the [[Book of Enoch]], [[Mount Hermon]] is the place where the 200 of the [[Watchers]] class of fallen angels descended to Earth. They swear upon the mountain that they would take wives among the daughters of men and take mutual imprecation for their sin of interbreeding with earth women (Enoch 6). The mountain or summit is referred to as Saphon in Ugaritic texts, where the palace of [[Baal]] is located in a myth about Attar. The Book of Chronicles also mentions Mount Hermon as a place where Epher, Ishi, Eliel, Azrael, Jeremiah, Hodaviah and Jahdiel were the heads of their families. [[Canaan]] settled in the area of Mount Hermon and southward into the territory that was to become Abraham’s Promised Land. This is why the Promised Land was called [[Canaan]] in the days of Moses. The [[Lost Tribe of Dan]] moved to this area during the days of the Judges, and adopted the Canaanite worship of these fallen angels. Baal and Ashtaroth were Canaanite deities, whose origin was from the settlements in Mount Hermon. Mount Hermon, has three peaks, the tallest of which is 9,166 feet above the Mediterranean Sea, the mountain was venerated in connection with the worship of Baal entities. [[Baal Worship]] was the leading religion of Canaan. On most of the high peaks of the country were shrines known as high places, the higher the holier. Here groves were planted and shrines were erected for worship. Since [[Mount Hermon]] towered above all the other mountains in the region, it was the chief high place, the shrine of shrines. [[Canaanites]] looked to Mount Hermon very similarly as the Muslims face [[Mecca]] when they pray.<ref>[http://www.energeticsynthesis.com/index.php/resource-tools/blog-timeline-shift/2754-mount-hermon Mount Hermon]</ref>
