[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Soon-kyung] Hapcheon County, Gyeongnam, held an event titled "Understanding Hapcheon Samga Burial Mounds" on the 12th at Hapcheon Museum and Okjeon Burial Mounds site to commemorate the designation of the Hapcheon Samga Burial Mounds as a national historic site, targeting local middle school students.
The Hapcheon Samga Burial Mounds are the largest burial mound cluster in the inland area of Gyeongnam and, along with the Hapcheon Okjeon Burial Mounds, which are being considered for World Heritage registration, represent the Gaya tomb heritage of Hapcheon. Designated as a cultural asset of Gyeongsangnam-do in 1974, its value was recognized after 47 years, and it was designated as a nationally designated cultural asset historic site on November 24, 2021.
This event was organized to raise awareness among local institutions and residents about the value and necessity of preserving the Samga Burial Mounds and to build consensus for the continuous restoration and maintenance of the burial mound cluster in the future.
About 30 students from Samga Middle School participated that day, touring the Hapcheon Museum where a special exhibition on the Samga Burial Mounds was held, and also engaging in various experiential activities such as exploring the Okjeon Burial Mounds, a representative Gaya burial mound cluster in the region.
