The tomb of Eve in 1894, during the Ottoman period
The Tomb of Eve, also known as Eve's Grave and Eve's Tomb, is an archeological site located in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.[1] It is considered by some Muslims to be the burial place of Eve. Prince Faisal, Viceroy of Hejaz, destroyed it in 1928.[2] In 1975, the site was also sealed with concrete by religious authorities, who disapprove of pilgrims praying at tombs.[3]
Richard Francis Burton mentions seeing it in his translation of the Book of a Thousand Nights and a Night.[4]
According to the Islamic religion, Eve is considered the grandmother of humanity [Quran page 84, chapter 7:11–25][Quran page 84, chapter 20:110–124], which influenced the name "Jeddah" meaning grandmother in Arabic.[5]
