Many thanks for this Tom. I understand that there are many thousands of dolmens in Korea.

Do you know how old they all are ?

Most of Korean have learned dolmens in Korea were built in Bronze ages. They were generally constrctured between 3500 and 2000 years ago. But, some of professionals believe dolmens in Korea were built in New stone ages or 5000 ~3000 years ago. There are a lot of proof which show their times. I think I am a person who takes care of most of dolmens and have looked it. if you would like to learn detailed information, why don't you step by the next website! You should have a look the common dolmens placed in Korea. You also could meet a lot of prehistoric people even though there is no direct people. But, using communication part, I will let out dolmens stories including their life.

Thanks

Tom,
Your web site looks very interesting, it's the first thing I've seen on Korean dolmens. Thanks for letting us know about it. However I think you are going to lose a lot of visitors by making them register for a membership to view some of the pages.
