The purpose of this research is to examine earthen mound tomb with a stone chamber which became common royal tombs of Three Kingdoms in the 6th∼7th century. The earthen mound tomb with a stone chamber developed from the tomb style of stone chamber with entrance that was a big change in tomb style in ancient East Asia and had a great effect on royal tomb style of all kingdoms in Korean Peninsula. First, I observed Goguryeo’s royal tombs in Pyeongyang which adopted the form of earthen mound tomb with a stone chamber far in advance of Three Kingdoms, and then compared the constructive feature with that of royal tombs of Baekje and Silla which adopted the tombs style in the 6th~7th century By the late-5th century and the mid-6th century, the royal tombs of Three Kingdoms all changed the former tomb styles into the earthen mound tomb with a stone chamber. But there were some differences in their structures in the process of their adopting and developing a new tomb style. Such differences resulted from inheritance of some parts of former tomb style to their new royal tombs. In this situation, Three Kingdoms had been making the typical patterns of royal tombs which had each structural difference by 6th~7th century. Of Three Kingdoms, Goguryeo first adopted the earthen mound tomb with a stone chamber and established the model of royal tombs. Because Goguryeo had experienced advanced culture through China and Nangnang in earlier time and had stone handling skills in the process of using stone mound tomb for a long time. The earthen mound tomb with a stone chamber spread out all parts of East Asia with the change of burial idea because it was a new advanced tomb style in that time and had many advantages in economical efficiency. The standardization of tomb style to the earthen mound tomb with a stone chamber in Three Kingdoms royal tombs, was one of processes changing system in various parts under new ideas in Three Kingdoms undergoing considerable changes.
