The story, as it tells us clearly, is in the cedar forest in the valley between Mt Hermon and Mt Lebanon.

I'm assuming that the "story" is the Gilgamesh Epic.

‘When I went with the wild beasts ranging through the wilderness I discovered the forest; its length is ten thousand leagues in every direction

One league = 3 statute miles

10 000 leagues = 30 000 statute miles

Therefore, the forest consisted of an area of 30,000 x 30,000 square miles = 900,000,000 square miles.

I am not aware of a forest of this size anywhere on Earth let alone between Mt Hermon and Mt Lebanon.
