Tomb is nothing special
(Translated by Google) Interestingly, the tomb of Adam is just a formal name. When Jerusalem was captured, the Ethiopians needed to make copies of all the holy places in Jerusalem, so they made a place called the tomb of Adam
(Original)
Интересно, что гробница Адама, это всего лишь формальное название. Когда Иерусалим был захвачен эфиопам надо было сделать копии всех святых мест Иерусалима, вот и сделали место, которое назвали гробница Адама
(Translated by Google) It is a beautiful place of great peace and spiritual connection!
(Original)
Es un lugar hermoso de muchísima paz y conexión espiritual!
