Tomb of Pharaoh's daughter

The Tomb of Pharaoh's daughter, also called the Monolith of Silwan, is an ancient burial building in the Mount of Olives Jewish Cemetery in Jerusalem.[1] According to Jewish tradition, this building was the tomb of the Egyptian wife of king Solomon.[2][3] The tomb is at the end of the Kidron Valley necropolis, under the houses of the Palestinian neighborhood of Silwan. It is the only tomb in the necropolis that is not a cave.
