Goryeong Jisan-dong Tumuli, Archaeological burial complex in Goryeong County, South Korea.
The Jisan-dong Tumuli extends across 84 hectares and contains 704 mounded tombs arranged from the northern summit to the southern slopes.
The cemetery functioned from the fifth to mid-sixth centuries as the burial ground for leaders of Daegaya, a significant polity within the Gaya Confederacy.
The burial mounds reveal social hierarchy through their placement, with larger tombs positioned on mountain ridges and smaller ones on lower slopes.
The site received designation as Historic Site Number 79 in 1939 and maintains protected status under the Cultural Heritage Protection Act since 1963.
Tomb Number 44 features one main chamber, two accessory chambers, and thirty-two human sacrifice chambers under a 27-meter diameter burial mound.
