'Hiram's grave') is a large limestone sarcophagus and pedestal located approximately 6 km (3.7 mi) southeast of Tyre, Lebanon, near the village of Hanaouay on the road to Qana. Although traditionally attributed to Hiram I, it has been dated to the Persian period, 4–6 centuries after the supposed time of Hiram.
