"The Muslims also built a cemetery in front of the gate, allegedly in the belief that the precursor to the Messiah, Elijah, would not be able to pass through since he is a cohanim."

I thought that this cementary was built by the Jewish (HAR HAZEITIM) awaiting for the Messiah to come...

The Mount of Olives is across the valley. This cemetary is built on the slopes of the Temple mount. Daniel Tzvi 20:19, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

What about that photograph; is it really circa 1890s? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 202.76.132.98 (talk) 06:04, 26 January 2008 (UTC)

You can click on the photo (if you have not already done so) for more information, then on the word "photochrom" to learn about the colorizing process (consistent with that vintage). Hertz1888 (talk) 08:15, 26 January 2008 (UTC)
