Kyongju Trip, Day One

These pics are from day one of my trip to Kyongju.  The only pic that isn’t is the “Kings Tomb on the Sea”.  I included it with day one’s pics because of the “tomb” aspect.  The tombs really aren’t tombs either, as with Jeju, they burial mounds, though they are much larger than any that I saw in Jeju.

The tombs come from the ancient kings in Korea during the first dynasty.  There were three dynasties in Korea, the last one ended with the Japanese occupation of Korea in 1910.  So from around 300 A.D. until 1910, there were only 3 unified kingdoms.  Before that there were at least 3 different kingdoms.

Well, I hope you enjoy the pics.

Darren thanks so much for the comments about the pics.  It’s been very educational. :-)
