    Hmmm…

    You have high expectations that the tomb connoisseurs on this sight will recognize the subtle placements and nuanced curves which might hint at the vintage of the buried king.

    I vote for King Muryeong (also spelled Munyong) in Kongju.

    J!

    No not King Muryeong, but I will take a generalization what tomb this is and where it is located.

    Knowing GI Korea, it is someplace/someone more obscure….

    …such as some Baekje king at Neungsan-ri, Chungcheongnam-do.

    Wall/ceiling paintings inside of a dragon, tiger, turtle, snake, and bird.

    I’m just trying to make these a little bit more challenging for you guys.

    It’s the “tumulous” area in Chunchon where the Sillia kings are buried (maybe).

    Mark got it these are Baekje royal tombs just outside of the last Baekje capitol of Buyeo. Worth checking out if you are in the area.
