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.
