Through dolmens, we learn about the reality of Gojoseon, a powerful state in East Asia. The large table-shaped dolmens in Liaodong and North Korea indicate the existence of a powerful ruling power. The Central History Museum of Korea in North Korea displays Misong-ri pottery, a lute-shaped bronze sword, a bronze arrowhead, a bronze axe mold, a bronze mirror, and a mirror with fine stripes. The three-shaped bronze sword excavated from Tongil Street indicates that Pyongyang was the center of Gojoseon. In addition, the constellations carved on the Gwiil-ri dolmen indicate that Gojoseon society at the time used tools for farming.
