The stonework believed to be Guhyeong royal tomb(仇衡王陵) has been in the process of being placed in history. Located on Wangsan mountain Hwagye-ri Geumseo-myeon Sancheong-gun Gyeongnam Province, the stonework was first called just a Buddhist tower and then started to be perceived as a royal tomb. But it was not until Wangsansamokhamgi(王山寺木函記), a historic document, was found that the stonework began to be thought as Guhyeong royal tomb. The document found in the late 18th century describes the stonework as a royal tomb for Guhyeong, the last king of Geumgwan Gaya(金官加耶). The Kimhae Kim family(金海 金氏), King Guhyeong`s descendants, tried to define the stonework as Guhyeong royal tomb by preserving the tomb site and building a shrine. Along the way, a series of lawsuits over the tomb`s ownership were filed, putting the stonework on the map. As a result the stonework began to be widely recognized as Guhyeong royal tomb. After the public recognition of the stonework as Guhyeong royal tomb, the effort to shed light on the royal tomb by the Kimhae Kim family began in earnest. The effort was made by establishing shrines and monuments and sprucing up the royal tomb, making the tomb site a sanctuary. The Kimhae Kim clan also tried to rewrite the history of King Guhyeong by justifying the king`s surrender to Silla. The Kimhae Kim family`s effort bore fruit when the stonework was designated as a national historic site and granted the name of Jeon-Guhyeong royal tomb(傳仇衡王陵 ; the Korean word Jeon means ``reputedly`` in English). Despite this achievement, the Kimhae Kim clan did not stop there and has been trying to turn the name from Jeon-Guhyeong royal tomb into Guhyeong royal tomb. When the King`s descendants succeed in changing the name, the process of Guhyeong royal tomb`s finding its right place in history is to be completed, and it is to become a real part of history.
