Mukawir is a big funny-shaped hill that was apparently the site where Salome danced for John the Baptist's head. Someone told me that Israel also claims a different site as the dance hall. The columns that are there now are all clearly brand new. John the Baptist's body is supposedly buried in one of the caves nearby - we say at least 8 nearby caves (including the one photographed below). We did not find one that said "remains here." His head is supposedly in the big mosque in Damascus.
