About קבר יאסון

Jason's Tomb is a Jewish rock-cut tomb located in the Rehavia neighborhood of Jerusalem, dating to the late second or early first century BCE, during the Hasmonean period. The tomb features a courtyard, a multi-chambered burial system with kokhim (niches), and a distinctive pyramid-shaped roof over its entrance. Inscriptions in Greek and Aramaic referring to a person named Jason, along with decorative motifs such as a ship, provide insight into the identity and social status of the deceased.
