Perhaps we could say the ruling class of Bihwa Gaya accepted the burial custom of a much more developed civilization, the ancient kingdom of Silla."<br />Though the bones should be investigated for further research, given the items buried and the size of the wooden coffin, the experts say it is likely that the deceased is a 155-centimeter tall woman.<br />As the excavation site is small,... the researchers announced that they will elaborate on the discovery on November 5th through the National Research Institute of Cultural Heritage YouTube channel.<br />Kim Bo-kyoung, Arirang News.<br />
