ate lunch first before going around the Gyeongju place These tombs are scattered around the Hwangnam-dong area and the precinct of Daeneungwon.  Tumuli Nos. 90-114, and 151-155 numbered during the Japanese rule are earthen mounds.  These tombs are believed to have been built in the early Silla period.  Large tombs are wood-lined chamber tombs with stone mounds, and small tombs don not have mound at all.  Within the precinct of Daeneungwon, there are Michuwangneung, Cheonmachong and Hwangnamdaechong.  A crown and many relics were excavated from Cheonmachong in 1973.  The name Cheonmachong was given to the tomb because the flying horse was painted on the pendant of the saddle excavated from the tomb.  The diameter of the tomb is 47m and its height is 12.7.  Hwangnamdaechong was excavated from 1973 to 1975.  Its length from south to north is 120 m and from east to west 80 m.  Its height is 23 m.
