Valley Of Peace :(



Wadi Al-Salaam (Valley of Peace) is an Islamic cemetery  located in Shia holy city of Najaf, Iraq.   It is believed to be the most massive cemetery in the entire world.   The grounds are about 1,485 acres and contains over 5 million remains.  Burials are performed daily now for 1,400 years.
The graveyard holds an importance in Shiite Islamic beliefs in that souls of the faithful men and women shall be moved there, no matter where their bodies have been buried.  Many profits, kings, princesses and sultans lie in this cemetery.
