977 KR - Gochang, Hwasun and Ganghwa Dolmen Sites (2000)

Brief Description

"The prehistoric cemeteries at Gochang, Hwasun, and Ganghwa contain many hundreds of examples of dolmens - tombs from the 1st millennium BC constructed of large stone slabs. They form part of the Megalithic culture, found in many parts of the world, but nowhere in such a concentrated form."

高昌、华森和江华的史前墓遗址

"在高昌、华森和江华发现的石墓群建于公元前一千年左右,该墓群用巨型厚石板建造而成。这里是全世界各地发现的巨石文化的一部分,同时也是这种文化最集中的一处。"
