(the 11 brothers) died, there is no mention of their burial nor exhumation. We assumed they were buried in Mitzraim where they remain ad hayom hazeh. A few question are raised (1) has anyone seen any information about the whereabouts of their kvarim? And related, (2) why was their burial so low profile (these were the founders of the shvatim, quite an important role in Jewish history)?
