daeseong dong tumuli


The Daeseong-dong Tumuli, located in Gimhae near Busan, South Korea, are a significant part of the Gaya Tumuli, which were designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2023. These ancient burial mounds date back to the Gaya Kingdom, which thrived from the 1st to the 6th century. The central graveyard of Gimhae, the Daeseong-dong Tumuli, offers a unique glimpse into the funerary practices and social structures of this early Korean society.
