The pic is actually the tomb of Absalom, David's much-loved, but wayward son. We did see David's tomb, but the area is being renovated. We also saw the Upper Room, which was pretty meaningful, even if a church was erected over the original site. That's pretty much the order of the day or the millennium in Jerusalem, and so the discerning pilgrim is to be advised that not every site is entirely certain, layer upon layer has been built up on most of the sites, and sometimes religious fervor and kingdom/church building does more to detract from than enhance the sites and the spiritual experience.
That's why I liked the Sea of Galilee so much. No one can move it or build a church on it (one would be there if it could be done). Also Capernaum and certainly the Garden of Gethsemane, which is in no dispute, and also the Garden Tomb, which all godly and smart people know to be the actual tomb. :)
