Throughout the historical section of Gyeongju, what looked like huge lumps of grass-covered earth dominated the area. These are actually ancient tombs of royalty and nobles of the Silla Dynasty. One of the more famous tombs - Cheonmachong- was discovered during an excavation in the 1970’s. If you want to get an idea of what the interior construction of the tombs looked like (through a cross-section display), Daerungwon Tomb complex is the place to go. Inside are also replicas of some of the crowns, jewelry, weapons, and pottery once found in the tomb.
