Know This
In some cases there are multiple tombs of one prophet throughout the world. Only one site is the real one and the rest of the other are purported there for spiritual reason.
This website, according to the best of the sources availabe online, lists all the tombs placing the prominent one at first.
There is still no way to determine whether the prominent one is the real site and not the others as in most of the cases, the evidence found in others are really compelling.
Only Allah knows best which tomb is the real and which one is purported spiritual one.
