Waht is "kofun"?

"Kofun" is a burial mound that was built for the people of the ruling class in ancient Japan.
When people in power died, they bulit graves and placed their bodies in stone rooms with their possessions. So "kofun" is a Japanese version of the Egyptian pyramids. Many "kofun" were
built during the 4th century.
