<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>in your article, you quoted Perrin (2000) saying:
"<FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3>The latter were sometimes found decorated
with colorful wall paintings which are dated between the fourth and the seventh
centuries A.D. These burials are found scattered on both sides of the Yalu River
in Jian, Jilin province..."</FONT></FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Which Koguryo tombs with wall paintings were found
on the left side of the Yalu ? (in the vicinity of Kuknae-song)</FONT></DIV>

face="Times New Roman">Indeed, on 2 July 2004 the DPRK had the Koguryo murals
discovered around Pyongyang and Namp'o inscribed on UNESCO's World Heritage
List. This move is expected to benefit the North Korea in many ways. A country
that receives little international attention except for engineered famine and
its crying abuse of human rights, its activities in nuclear weapons and
missiles development has got a chance to emphasize that Koguryo was part of
the history of Korean people. </FONT></P>

<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt"><FONT
face="Times New Roman">However, the DPRK was not only interested in preserving
its cultural heritage. By having Koguryo mural tombs internationally
recognized, North Korea also plans to establish its hegemony in the process of
national unification and even to secure itself from possible preventive
strikes. Even in a case of military dispute, a place once registered as a
World Heritage Site is not permitted to be attacked under international law...
