Hello, at the bottom of the southern ridge of the Jisan-dong Tumulus Cluster, located on the ridge extending southeast from the main mountain in Jisan-dong, Goryeong County, is the Daegaya Royal Tombs Exhibition Hall, which recreates the interior of Tumulus No. 44 of the Jisan-dong Tumulus Cluster, the first human sacrifice tomb in Korea, which was excavated in 1978, exactly as it was at the time.

Opened in September 2000, the massive circular Gaya Royal Tombs Exhibition Hall, measuring 37 meters in diameter and 16 meters in height, displays Gaya-era pottery, iron horse trappings, a gold crown (replica), and fluorescent shell spoons—all excavated from the Jisan-dong Tumuli (historic site No. 79)—along with viewing walkways along the circular walls. These artifacts include pottery, iron horse trappings, a gold crown (replica), and a fluorescent shell spoon that offers insights into international exchange between Japan and the Gaya people.

At the center of the exhibition hall is a large stone chamber containing the king's main chamber and two smaller chambers, surrounded by 32 smaller stone sarcophagi. It is said that various people of different social statuses were buried in the main chamber and other stone chambers. This is considered to be the largest burial tomb from the Three Kingdoms period.

It seems that the victims were buried in this way.
