#JewishHistory is on every cobblestone and hill in Israel - in Jerusalem, Hebron, Jericho and Mt. Sinai.
The Mount of Olives burial ground is in Jerusalem east of the Old City overlooking the Temple Mount. It is one of the oldest and most important cemeteries in the world. Burial there dates back over 3000 years to biblical times and continues today.
