Dolmen Museum in Wha Sun
After looking around’ the temple ‘Baek Ryeon Sa, I headed for the Dolmen museum in Wha Sun.
Wha Sun is famous for Dolmen.
There are several famous place for Dolmen in Korea, for example Gangwha island, Go Chang, Wha Sum . . .
Korea is unique place for Dolmen.
Strangely enough, Dolmens were centered around Korea and Manchuria.
Especially dolmens were tensely located in Southwestern area of Korean peninsular.
I already visited Go Chang Dolmen area and had posted relating to Dolmen in Go Chang.
Wha Sun was not far from Go Chang area.
But in my view, the appearances of Dolmen of Both area seemed little bit different each other.
The place where I got to arrive at was Museum in Wha Sun.
There, opened dolmens were exhibited in the museum.
It is said that Dolmen was a grave in the bronze age.
It meant that the bronze age culture was flourished in this area.
When I got there, the cover stones were standing on the ground of the museum
Inside of dolmens were very well preserved under the thick glass.
All of those places were graves
@slowwalker,
A grave museum, I have seen this as first time and didn't hear that word either! New experience and it's a symbol of how ancestors did those rituals in past times!
Cheers~
In Sardinia , where i live, dolmen, menhirs, giant tombs, are extraordinary testimonies of an ancient megalithic culture, and characterize the island landscape....
The Dolmen Museum seems really rich, I was beginning to imagine how long the stones have lasted and to begin to imagine that it was once a tomb/grave is definitely amazing, definitely splendid photography here, this awesome visiting so many places.
It is very interesting and informative to see the ancient traditions of the people of Korea. It is necessary to preserve for our patomkov
