Burial mound/round barrow in South Korea
The left bank of the Han river (aka HanGang) in Seoul city is called GangNam (=south of Gang), well-known for the world hit tune "Gangnam Style" and a Korean film noir "Gangnam Blues" has now developed as a sophisticated residential and economic area. Before the development in 1970's, there lay hundreds of burial mounds, now Seokchon-dong group and this group only survive.
In the park in the south of MongchonToseong Olympic park, 2 groups of mounds lie. The inside of the mound no.1 of the western group can be observable. Some scholars suspect that this mound was a mural tomb because white pigment was discovered between the stones of the burial chamber.
Once there was another group Garak-dong (가락동 可楽洞) which included the mounds with gabled ceiling chamber and surface covered with pebbles like a cairn. Now demolished.
