Bangi-dong Ancient Tombs images

These ancient tombs, built on a low hill in Bangi-dong, are dated to the Three Kingdoms era (Baekje and Silla). In 1971, the joint archeological survey of the National Museum of Korea and the National Research Institute of Cultural Heritage found eight tombs, of which six were investigated as part of the new town creation plan for Jamsil District in 1975.

The tombs are divided into stone chamber tombs with a tunnel entrance and stone coffin tombs. Tomb No. 1, which is a stone chamber tomb, has a chamber surrounded by walls heaped up with wide stones, along with an entrance on a wall and a capstone on which soil is piled up.

As the historic remains found in the Songpa area, including Pungnap Toseong and Mongchon Toseong Earthen Walls and Seokchon-dong Ancient Tombs have all been identified as relics of Baekje, the tombs in Bangi-dong have also been presumed to be royal tombs of Baekje. Meanwhile, since the excavation of Silla earthenware, including grayish blue mounted dishes from Tombs No. 4, 5 and 6, it has also been insisted that they are royal tombs of Silla.
