Footnote 3 – Have the Tombs of the Kings of Judah Been Found?

In the 19th century, this magnificent (and as we now know) Hellenistic tomb was thought to be the burial place of the later kings of Judah. In 1863, a sarcophagus with an inscription was discovered in the tomb, which enabled it to be identified as the mausoleum of Queen Adiabene. Unfortunately, it is still called, to the confusion of tourists, the Tomb of the Kings.
