◼︎ In June 2012, two large wooden coffin tombs were excavated in Daeseong-dong, Gimhae. The two tombs were named Tomb No. 88 and Tomb No. 91, respectively. The two wooden coffin tombs are important clues to unraveling the secrets of Gaya history that had been shrouded in mystery. From Tomb No. 88, a Japanese-specific artifact, a corrugated bronzeware, was excavated, and from Tomb No. 91, artifacts from the Xianbei tribe of China were excavated. Since the excavation of the Gaya tombs in Daeseong-dong began in 1990, this monumental achievement has garnered attention from the archaeological communities of Korea, China, and Japan. The accessories excavated from Tomb No. 91 are mainly related to horses. The three bodies discovered in the same tomb show the practice of burial. All of these are unique to the northern nomadic people, and it is currently the accepted academic opinion that similar forms can be found in the tombs of the Xianbei tribe of China. What exactly is the relationship between the Gaya people and the Xianbei tribe? #KoreanHistory #History #HistorySpecial #HistoryJournal Copyright ⓒ KBS. All rights reserved.
