Tomb of Eve
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Tomb of Eve, also known as Eve's Grave and Eve's Tomb, is an archeological site located in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia (21°29′31″N 39°11′24″E / 21.49194°N 39.19°E).[1] It is considered by Muslims to be the burial place of the Biblical Eve of the Abrahamic faiths. Richard Francis Burton mentions seeing it in The Book Of One Thousand Nights And A Night.[2] The site was sealed with concrete by the religious authorities in 1975 as a result of pilgrims praying at the tomb.
