The grand scale of the cemetery of Wadi al-Salam in Iraq
Look at the enormous scale of the Shiite cemetery called "Wadi Al-Salam", which is located on the territory of present-day Iraq. The area of the cemetery, whose name literally means "Valley of Peace", is an incredible 6 square kilometers or 1,485 hectares. The most unique fact about "Wadi Al-Salam" is that burial have been going here for over 1400 years. This is where the rebels were hiding from the US troops in Iraq, and believe me, find them here was not so easy. Look further.
