Iraq / Najaf / Attractions / Wadi es Salaam
The cemetery is called al Wadi es Salaam, the Vale of Peace (as in Kerbela), and you can drive a car through its 'streets', winding through the countless brick and cement tombs, some modest, some the size of small mosque-shrines. Some are gaily painted pink or green; some display photographs of the dead: turbaned graybeards or bright-eyed youngsters with proud moustaches and hair in fashionable quiffs.
Many reptiles have temperature-dependent sex determination: the temperature embryos experience during their development determines the sex of the organism.
