Cemetry for royal families during the Silla millennim kingdom

GYEONGJU, July 13 (Yonhap) -- Gyeongju's Seoak Tumuli, refers to five tombs where kings who ruled Silla, a millennium kingdom, were buried. Unfortunately, only the tomb of Silla's 29th ruler King Taejong Muyeol, born Kim Chun-chu (r. 665~661 AD), could be identified, while the owners for rest of the tombs remain unknown. However, it is certain that this is the place where kings who reigned Silla were buried in the 6th and 7th centuries.
