Photogrammetry.
The tomb is 20 metres (66 ft) in height. Currently inaccessible for drone imaging (due to security). The monument proper stands on a square base and consists of two distinct parts. The lower section is a monolith, hewn out of the rocky slope of the Mount of Olives, while the upper part, rising higher than the original bedrock, is built of neatly cut ashlars.
