Najaf, Iraq ➖ I didn't know much about Najaf before I came to Iraq, and I certainly didn't know it was home to the worlds largest cemetery! 5 million people and counting are buried here, the aim to get as close to Imam Ali's holy shrine. I decided to check out the cemetery and it was a lot bigger than I was expecting!

Notes about this cemetery Its name: Valley of Peace Age: about 1400 years (people are buried there since Imam Ali was martyred until today, seeking blessings from him) The number of dead: more than 5 million, as every period many old graves are demolished and new ones are built on them But, Luke, why didn't you go to the end of the cemetery, where the Najaf Sea is located, which is a ferry from a large, low area that was a sea in ancient times, and now it has become buildings and large farms and a site for extracting salt Welcome to Iraq 🇮🇶✌️

The Iraqi people love RU-vid and love watching videos.. In addition to that, they like to be themselves and to convey the truth of the Iraqi people.. You are part of this work.. The Iraqi people have been wronged in the media and an unreal picture of them has been transmitted, so they are trying hard to tell the world As a whole, we are a people who differ in our generosity and love for others, and we are a people who love life.. Thank you for your presence in Iraq.

@recruitmentch Год назад

Growing up in Kurdistan until the age of 13, I'm perplexed seeing someone visit a cemetery voluntarily. I suppose its easier to see places of burial when the people buried there are not connected to you. As a child, I absolutely detested burials and funerals. My auntie's husband died in the Iran Iraq war post Saddam forcefully conscripting Kurds to fight. Attending his burial and funeral when I was nearly 6 has stuck with me for my entire life. A couple of years later, we then had to re-bury 5 of his brothers who had been tortured and buried alive during Anfal. Death is something all humans have to deal with but these days the whole idea of having to attend burials and funerals filled me with nonthing but dread. Safe travels, friend.
