Lovely photos Balan. Just who's history is it?
Exactly what do you mean ? History according to whose source?

And to make you part with your hard earned cash I give you in and around Jerusalem.

The Church of Mary Magdalene ( Russian: Церковь Святой Марии Магдалины) is a Russian Orthodox church located on the Mount of Olives, near the Garden of Gethsemane in East Jerusalem.

The Jewish Cemetery on the Mount of Olives, including the Silwan necropolis, is the most ancient and most important Jewish cemetery in Jerusalem. Burial on the Mount of Olives started some 3,000 years ago in the days of the First Temple, and continues to this day.
The cemetery contains anywhere between 70,000 and 150,000 tombs from various periods,
The cemetery was quite close to the Old City, its chief merit being that it lay just across the Kidron Valley from the Temple Mount: according to the midrash, it is here that the Resurrection of the Dead would begin once Messiah will appear on the Mount of Olives and head toward the Temple Mount. As the sages say: "In the days to come, the righteous will appear and rise in Jerusalem, as it is said, "And they will sprout out of the city like the grass of the field" - and there is no city but Jerusalem".
