Dolmen in Sansuri

This dolmen is located in Sansuri, Kochang. It is one of the most beautiful and magnificent figures in Korean dolmens. It is just an perfect artwork and it seems to be an ancient sculture. Coverstone measures 6m long, 3.2m wide, 1.3m thick. 5 Propstones are measured 90cm ~ 1.2m high in each. There is a small mound under the dolmen, which is over 1m high. So, total height is over 3m high.

This figures of dolmen are found also in England, and Ireland. But it's prop stones(someone says that those leg figures are similar to legs of Dinosaures) are bigger and taller than this. Also in here landscape is similar to plains in Southern England. How stupid english scolars, who says that most of dolmens are made about 4000 ~ 10000 years ago. what a funny and ridiculous scolars in British Isles! Why not come to see this dolmen, your english scolars. Seeing is believing.
