All data provided here is collected from available historical books.
Sannine San and Nine were the gods of ancient people who lived in Baskinta before Christ, from those two gods comes the name of Mount Sannine which is about 2680 m of altitude. This well known area was rich with Cedar trees that covered it during the Phoenician era; Nowadays this mountain is well visited for its mild climate, wonderful summer and its marvelous view that allows you to see Cyprus island from the top. As for Qanat Bakich, its name sows that it is a very old one related to Backhaus the Romanian god of wine, it is situated down to right of Sannine and well known for its numerous water fountains.
