11 mins.
A Syriac priest, starts reading the genesis, in Aramaic -a dead language- few minutes before day fall, in a forest situated in Mount Lebanon.
With the light getting dimmer, the reading becomes more and more difficult, the priest stops reading the text, when the Aramaic words, totally fade in the night.
