Based on the latest excavation results, this book explores the greatest mystery of ancient history: the roots of this country. How was our country formed? The best clue to understanding this is the giant kofun (ancient burial mounds) scattered throughout the country. With successive excavations and the application of the latest science, such as dendrochronology, ancient Japan is rapidly revealing its form. From the construction dates of the kofun, the buried individuals (kings) of the giant kofun are also estimated more precisely, and even the transition of ancient power has become visible. A master of Japanese ancient history approaches the ancient history mystery based on the excavation results to date. Chapter 1: What is a Kofun?
