Rock-cut tombs in ancient Israel

（重定向自Sepulchrally）

The Tomb of Benei Hezir and the so-called Tomb of Zechariah

Remnants of the Monolith of Silwan, a First Temple period tomb.

Hundreds of rock-cut tombs were constructed in Israel in ancient times. They were cut into the rock, sometimes with elaborate facades and multiple burial chambers. Some are free-standing, but most are caves. Each tomb typically belonged to a single, wealthy family. Bodies were laid out on stone benches. After a generation, the bones were moved to a bone chamber or, later, into ossuaries and the benches used for new burials. Rock tombs were the province of the wealthy; the common people were buried in the ground.
