I recently found out that korea has some small pyramids. The largest being near Andong. The only problem is I can't find any information about them. All i could find was Saktari, or saktapsa temple area. But that might be horrible rominization.

Does anyone know where the pyramids are? Names? locations?

Edit: I have found some info on other Korean pyramids. Just not the one near Andong.

The last article says that the Andong Pyramid is located about 30km from Mt.Haaka in the northern part of a valley near soktapri.
I can not find these names on the map.

Not really sure it was intended to be a 'pyramid'.
Looks like a pile of rocks.
I've had friends build stuff like that in their backyards.

But, if the dept of tourism wanted to start a campaign
about korea's ancient pyramids, then this might be
a good place to start.
