Sanhedrin Tombs in Wikipedia

The elaborate Sanhedria Tombs lie to the north of the city.[9] They were so called by later generations because the largest of them contains 70 chambers with burial benches, and the Sanhedrin had seventy member.[9] Each of the three tombs would actually have contained the burials of a single, multi- generational, wealthy family.
