| Jangsu of Goguryeo at AllExperts (1237 words) |
 | Jangsu had built a magnificent tomb for his father, and along with it an imposing 4 meter tall tombstone engraved with his father's accomplishments (now known as the Gwanggaeto Stele). |
| Jangsu called for 330 men from different regions and tribal backgrounds to guard and clean the tomb in perpetuity, demonstrating the effective consolidation of the Goguryeo kingdom and monarch's power at the time of Jangsu's succession. |
| Chinese scholars posit this to be the tomb of King Jangsu and his consort, though many Korean scholars argue Jangsu's tomb is in Pyeongyang, where Jangsu had moved the capital in 427 (Sept. 2001). |
