Remains of incomplete royal tomb found in South Korea

The remains of an incomplete royal tomb were found in Gyeongju, North Gyeongsang Province. The remains were previously assumed to be the royal tomb of King Shinmun or Queen Sodeok of Silla. As a result of excavation, however, they are more likely to be the tomb of King Hyoseong (?-742), the second son of King Seongdeok. It is also considered that the Silla Dynasty had the custom to prepare a king’s tomb before the death.Aerial view...
