 * I've added it as an external link, as there are some good photographs in the piece.Svejk74 (talk) 08:04, 4 September 2008 (UTC)

Would it be possible to figure out how to get some of those magnificent pictures from that article onto the page? David Betesh (talk)

 Google Maps Cannot Find the Location Given 

I tried plugging the location given into Google Maps, but the database could not find any such location. Google Maps does recognize the location "Al Uzair, Maysan, Iraq" and the photos that come up seem to indicate it is the right place. Maybe someone with the appropriate admin powers can insert this into the first paragraph somewhere, I can't unlock the section to edit it.

There is a new (Feb. 2016) article on the tomb in AI Monitor entitled "Jewish shrine reminds Iraqis of religious coexistence" here: http://www.al-monitor.com/pulse/originals/2016/02/iraq-tomb-jewish-prohet-ezra-turned-islamic.html that has some relevant information, if anyone wants to include it. It lists the location simply as Uzair, Iraq, which is also not findable by Google Maps.
