SECOND-HAND TOMB. Among the simpler funerary monuments that dot the cliffs of the Kidron Valley is the so-called Tomb of Pharaoh’s Daughter, which now stands as a small, square-shaped structure amid later remains built into the hillside. Although originally carved in the late Iron Age (c. seventh century BCE), it was refurbished and reused during the Second Temple period, before it hosted early Christian hermits, who made further changes centuries later. The pyramid that once topped the tomb has long been quarried away, but the burial chamber in the heart of the monument still holds a stone sarcophagus.
