Gamaksan Monument, Paju, Gyeonggido Province, Korea 

坡州紺岳山沒字碑 / 파주 감악산 몰자비 


It has been unknown that by whom and when the monument was erected, but possibly by King Jinheung (reigned from 540~576 AD) of the Silla Kingdom. 




Any inscription has not been found from the monument. It is possible the letters in it had been erased, but also possible that the monument had erected unfinished. 




Judging from the shape and size, and especially location, it is regarded as another example of King Jinheung's monuments, which are all located on mountaintops. The monument are placed on top of Mt. Gamaksan rising 675 meters above the sea level.
