Geumgwanchong Tomb

The name comes from the gold crown excavated from the tomb. It was discovered by chance in September 1921 during house construction, but because the tomb had already been destroyed and was not formally excavated, the structure of the tomb and the exact context of the relics were not clarified. The excavated items include the gold crown as well as ornaments, weapons and vessels, and beads alone numbered more than 30,000 in total. The original tomb is known to have been a stone-piled tomb (jeokseokchong) unique to Silla, about 50 m in diameter and 13 m high, and it is presumed that a wooden chamber was prepared inside and a lacquered wooden coffin placed within. Judging from this structure and the Buddhist influence, it is estimated to be a royal tomb built around the 6th century, around the reign of King Jijeung, before Unified Silla.
