Do you know which prefecture Iki Island is in? The correct answer is Nagasaki Prefecture. The ferry departs from Hakata in Fukuoka Prefecture, but... The Hyose Tomb is located on Iki Island. While creating the renewed version, I thought that in terms of splendor, it is unrivaled among all the stone chambers of ancient tombs nationwide. Everything is solid, and I thought that the person buried there must have had a very good sleep. However, as I always write, what is the meaning of the fact that there are six of these megalithic tombs designated as national historic sites on the small island of Iki? The most likely interpretation is that they are the tombs of generals who were on the front line of measures against Silla, that is, to prevent attacks on Wa, but in that case, there are many things I would like to know, such as how they secured the manpower to build the tombs. One of them, Hyose Tomb, is currently owned by a private person, and you need to ask before visiting. It is simply amazing that such a megalithic tomb is located in the garden of a private home. Unfortunately, the data on the stone chamber is insufficient, and I was not able to obtain figures for the antechamber, middle chamber, and passageway other than the main chamber. Please see the blog for a location map and an image of the stone chamber. http://kofunwodougademiru78.publog.jp...
