Tukuk-OS🍌 Qumran cemetery
Palestine · Asia · 31.74°N, 35.46°E
The Qumran cemetery is in eastern Qumran, an archaeological site in the West Bank, a part of Palestine which is under Israeli occupation. It is a large area leading to a descent from which four finger-like ridges point eastward. On these ridges more tombs are located. The current estimate of tombs in the cemetery is over 1100. The largest section, that on the plateau proper, has two east-west paths which divide it into three parts. There are also two small cemeteries near Qumran, one ten minutes' walk north of the main cemetery and one to the south, on the other side of Wadi Qumran.
