The Bangudae Petroglyphs, a UNESCO World Heritage site, have been submerged underwater for a month due to flooding, raising concerns about the management of cultural heritage sites in the region.
A cultural guide utilized a digital telescope at the Bangudae observatory in Daegok-ri, Eonyang-eup, Ulju County, Ulsan, on August 12 to identify sections of the petroglyphs that remain above water.
This situation highlights the ongoing challenges in preserving and protecting significant cultural landmarks, particularly in the face of environmental changes and inadequate management practices.
The recent flooding has drawn attention to the need for improved strategies to safeguard these valuable historical sites from future risks.
