Summary

Goguryeo tombs, once thought to be simple burial sites, are revealed as sophisticated subterranean structures with advanced architectural features resembling contemporary residences. A comprehensive analysis of these tombs demonstrates Goguryeo's technological prowess and cultural significance over 700 years in Northeast Asia and the Korean Peninsula. The study proposes a novel approach by examining architectural drawings and pillars within the tombs, offering new insights into their construction chronology and unraveling the secrets behind these remarkable structures.
