안악3호분

오국리, North Korea

Anak Tomb No. 3 is a chamber tomb of Goguryeo located in Anak, South Hwanghae, North Korea. It is known for mural paintings and an epitaph. It is part of the Complex of Koguryo Tombs. The identity of the tomb's owner is disputed due to an epitaph in the tomb bearing the name of Dong Shou, a former g

eneral of the Xianbei Murong clan in Liaodong who fled political turmoil to Goguryeo. The epitaph lists Dong Shou's various titles as well as uses the defunct Eastern Jin dynasty's era name, suggesting that Dong Shou is the tomb's owner. As a result, some scholars believe that the tomb belonged to Dong Shou while others argue that it belonged to the Goguryeo king Micheon or his son Gogugwon.
