Pyongyang, February 25 (KCNA) — The Korean nation worshipped Mt Paektu as the ancestral mountain of its nation. New historical relics showing their patriotism and customs were unearthed and ascertained recently.
In the course of intensifying the investigation and excavation of historical relics in the area of Mt Paektu, a research group of the History Faculty of Kim Il Sung University discovered five graves, akin to those already found on an islet of Lake Samji No.1, on the shores of Lake Chon on the top of the mountain and four graves in the areas of Taehongdan County of Ryanggang Province and Musan County of North Hamgyong Province. The research group scientifically confirmed the characteristics, origin and ages of the graves.
By fully analyzing the locations of the graves, differences in typical features of domestic and foreign graves and funeral custom, the research group found that the newly discovered graves are originated in such style and funeral customs from the Koreans of Palhae (698-926) living in the areas of Ryanggang Province and South and North Hamgyong provinces.
The research group clarified that the remains are of Koreans who lived between around mid-18th century and mid-19th century. The research group thus proved the historical truth that Koreans in the area of Mt Paektu had buried their ancestors’ remains on the shores of Lake Chon.
The Archaeological Society of the DPRK concluded after examination that the remains in the newly found graves are of Koreans who inherited the customs of Palhae.
