About this work

Entrance and Mikvah [?] = ritual bath]. Last resting place of (the family of) Queen Helena of Adiabene in the first century AD. The graves are located 820 meters from the old city wall of Jerusalem. The naming as the tomb of the kings stems from the fact that the discoverers believed they had found the tomb of members of the Davidic royal house.
