I just ran across the term 'kofun' and did a Google image search. Found some pretty interesting stuff, but the text on most of them is in Japanese. Anyone know much about Japanese megalithic sites? I've heard there are stone circles there.
This megalithic tomb in particular caught my eye, because of how the top stones resemble a sleeping person, although I gather it would have been under a mound originally
When I'm wealthy, I'll fly over and tour the country taking pictures for the Portal. But don't hold your breath.
