#video#Iraq Wadi al-Salam is considered the world’s biggest and oldest graveyard. It hosts some five million tombstones, the first of which were laid 1,300 years ago. Wadi al-Salam means ‘Valley of Peace’, and its where many Shia Muslims are eager to be buried because they will be close to Imam Ali. He was a Shiite holy man who was cousin and son-in-law to the Prophet Muhammed. The cemetery workers know every nook and cranny of this giant burial ground. They are hereditary gravediggers, and their families have worked on the site for generations. Watch the documentary, Sons of the Graveyard, on Odysee. Follow: https://t.me/rtdocumentary
