Tomb of the Prophets Haggai, Zechariah and Malachi, Rock-cut tomb on Mount of Olives, Jerusalem, Israel

Medieval Jewish tradition identifies this location as the burial place of the final three Hebrew Bible prophets from the 6th and 5th centuries BC.
The site holds religious significance for both Jewish and Christian visitors, with Greek inscriptions indicating later use for Christian burials.
