Well of Souls

The Well of Souls (Arabic: "بئر الأرواح"Bir el- Arweh, Bir el- Arwah or Bir al- Arwah‎) — sometimes translated Pit of Souls, Cave of Spirits, or Well of Spirits — is a partly natural, partly man-made cave located inside the Foundation Stone under the Dome of the Rock shrine in Jerusalem.^[1] The name derives from a medieval Islamic legend that at this place the spirits of the dead can be heard awaiting Judgment Day^[2](The name "Well of Souls" has also been applied more narrowly to a depression in the floor of this cave and to a hypothetical chamber that may exist beneath the floor.) The site has never been subject to an archeological investigation and political and diplomatic sensitivities preclude this for the foreseeable future.
