Who knows the Israeli tour guide who pointed tourists to the kever of Shmuel when someone noted that he already pointed to his kever a day before! The guide replied that that was Shmuel Alef, and this is Shmuel Beit!

Currently Azeri Bayraktars are flying looking for Armenian rebels, maybe they’ll find the teva, hope they do not bomb it!
It was customary to temporarily bury bodies in Bavel and after a year to carry bones to Eretz Isroel. Why not for Mordechai and Esther? Maybe Mordechai was buried in Persia due to his government status, similarly to Yosef?! edited
Is there also a Muslim tradition of Yonah’s kever in Mosul (destroyed by ISIS).
