Cheonjeon-ri petroglyphs, Neolithic petroglyphic site in Ulju County, South Korea.
The rock carvings at Cheonjeon-ri include geometric patterns, animal figures, and human shapes etched into the stone surface along Daegokcheon Stream.
The petroglyphs contain over 800 Chinese characters documenting a royal visit during King Beopheung's reign between 514 and 540 of the Silla Dynasty.
The upper section displays prehistoric motifs with concentric circles and sun symbols, while the lower part depicts horsemen, dragons, and maritime vessels.
The site maintains regular visiting hours with guided tours available, and protective barriers ensure the preservation of these ancient stone engravings.
The carvings combine both prehistoric art and historical inscriptions, revealing multiple layers of Korean civilization spanning several thousand years.
