Various Dolmens in Wha Sun Area
It looked like same at first glance, but as looking carefully, all dolmens were different each other.
The most famous dolmen in Wha Sun area was a big stone.
At first, people didn’t notice that stone was a dolmen.
So they carved letters indicating the name of family graveyard on the stone.
They’d though it as a just big stone by the road.
According to the explanation by the guide in the museum, the seven stars of the Big Dipper were carved on the top of the stone. It was sorry that I could not see the Big Dipper on it. It was too large and tall to look at the top of the stone for me, moreover there was no hills to look down the stars on it.
Anyway the Big Dippers were so meaningful, that the seven stars were believed to be connected with Korean primitive religion. The Big Dipper was the place where dead souls took a rest.
There were various types of dolmens there.
Interestingly a dolmen stood near the grave made in recent time on the Ridgeline of the hill.
Wow the first dolmen to me seems like a mountain with a secret door, I didn't realise that was obviously a carving with names, it's really am amazing scenario with all the other dolmen, and you did justice with your camera capturing all of them it's amazing.
Yes! These are exactly what I was talking about! The dolman with the inscriptions! The first one is very significant, isn't it?
I am not sure I have ever seen one so large.

These stones are so beautiful! Marking the stars above.
I wonder if a long selfie stick with camera would see
the markings on top of the boulder? :-)
First Thing I thought when I saw the Thumbnail for this Post was @slowwalker is Writing about Elephants and then of course I clicked on and no elephants. I am OK with that because this is another marvelous piece of Korean Society.............
