During the Second Temple period, rock-cut tombs were built outside the walls of the city of Jerusalem in every direction.The most elaborate group of tombs, and apparently the most prestigious location, was in the Kidron Valley beneath the tombs of the ancient Kings of Judah on the ridge where the village of Silwan now stands. These include the Tomb of Benei Hezir, the Tomb of Zechariah and the Tombs of the Kings which is the tomb of a queen, Queen Helena of Adiabene.
