This is known to be the tomb of King Michu (r. 262-284), the 13th ruler of the Silla kingdom (57 BCE - 935 CE).

King Michu was the 6th-generation descendant of Kim Al-ji (65-?), the founder of the Gyeongju Kim Clan. His father was a Silla general and his mother was the granddaughter of King Jima (t. 112-134). When King Cheomhae (r. 247-261) of the Seok Clan died without a son, Michu took the the throne, thus becoming the first member of the Kim Clan to do so. During his reign, he defended against numerous attacks from the neighboring Baekje kingdom and encouraged the people to practice agriculture.
