Pétroglyphes le long de la rivière Bangucheon
Situé le long de la rivière Bangucheon, sur la côte sud-est de la péninsule coréenne, le bien s'étend sur environ trois kilomètres dans un paysage de falaises stratifiées. Il se compose de deux panneaux rocheux : les pétroglyphes de Daegok-ri et de Cheonjeon-ri. Ces panneaux comprennent des concentrations remarquables de pétroglyphes, gravés par les générations successives de 5 000 ans avant notre ère jusqu'au IXe siècle de notre ère. Réalisés à l'aide d'outils en pierre et en métal, les pétroglyphes illustrent une large gamme d’images et témoignent d’expressions culturelles des époques préhistoriques et historiques.

النقوش الصخرية على طول جدول بنغوتشيون
توجد هذه النقوش الصخرية على طول جدول بنغوتشيون على الساحل الجنوبي الشرقي لجمهورية كوريا، وهي تمتد على طول ثلاثة كيلومترات تقريباً ضمن منظر طبيعي يتألف من جروف طبقية؛ وهي تتألف من موقعين بارزين لفن النقش على الصخور: دايغوك-ري وتشونجيون-ري. وتحتوي هذه الألواح على نقوش كثيفة صنعتها الأجيال المتتالية من عام 5000 قبل الميلاد حتى القرن التاسع الميلادي. وقد نُقشت باستخدام أدوات مصنوعة من الحجر والمعدن، وتضم هذه النقوش طيفاً واسعاً من الصور وتعكس أشكال التعبير الثقافي في عصور ما قبل التاريخ والعصور المؤرخة.

Петроглифы вдоль ручья Пангучхон в Ульсане
Этот объект расположен вдоль ручья Пангучхон на юго-восточном побережье Республики Корея и простирается примерно на три километра через ландшафт слоистых скал. На его территории находятся два значимых памятника наскального искусства — петроглифы в Тэгонни и петроглифы в Чхонджонни. На этих скальных панелях сосредоточено большое количество изображений, созданных несколькими поколениями людей с 5000 года до н.э. по IX век н.э. Изображения выполнены с помощью каменных и металлических орудий. Петроглифы отражают широкий спектр образов и представляют как первобытное искусство, так и более поздние формы культурного самовыражения.

Petroglifos a lo largo del arroyo Bangucheon
El bien patrimonial se encuentra a lo largo del arroyo Bangucheon en la costa sureste de la República de Corea y abarca unos tres kilómetros a través de un paisaje de acantilados estratificados. Cuenta con dos sitios importantes de arte rupestre: los petroglifos Daegok-ri y Cheonjeon-ri. La zona alberga densas concentraciones de grabados creados por generaciones sucesivas desde el año 5000 a.C. hasta el siglo IX d.C. Los petroglifos, tallados con herramientas de piedra y metal, representan una amplia gama de imágenes y reflejan expresiones culturales prehistóricas e históricas.

Outstanding Universal Value
Brief synthesis
The property is located along the Bangucheon Stream on the south-eastern coast of the Korean Peninsula. It extends for approximately three kilometres along this meandering waterway, in a landscape of stratified cliffs. Within this specific setting, there are two rock panels with remarkable concentrations of petroglyphs namely, the Daegok-ri Petroglyphs and the Cheonjeon-ri Petroglyphs. The petroglyphs depict a wide range of images engraved by successive generations of local artists, using stone and metal tools, spanning a period from the prehistoric to the historic eras, from 5,000 BCE to the 9th century CE.
The animals, human figures, hunting scenes, concentric circles, diamonds and writing carved into the rock show great realism and dynamism, while displaying a specific composition of figurative images and epigraphs. In particular, the petroglyphs representing animals, both aquatic and land-based, present a level of detail that makes it possible to discern the precise species of each animal.
These various images and inscriptions are an exceptional demonstration of this long tradition of rock engraving, extending from the Neolithic period through the Bronze Age and up to the Silla period.
Criterion (i): The Petroglyphs along the Bangucheon Stream display a wide range of images executed with great artistic mastery over the course of millennia by the coastal inhabitants of East Asia. The acute sense of observation reflected in the realistic depictions of various motifs and their specific compositions demonstrate the exceptional aesthetic sense of these artists. Their creativity is particularly evocative in prehistoric images depicting whales and certain stages of whaling, a subject only rarely represented in rock art around the world.
Criterion (iii): The Petroglyphs along the Bangucheon Stream attest to a tradition of rock carving that was practised for approximately 6,000 years within the landscape formed by the Bangucheon Stream. These rock carvings are exceptional because they demonstrate a complex form of artistic expression and concisely illustrate the cultural evolution of the coastal inhabitants of the peninsula over this long period.
Integrity
The property includes all of the attributes that convey its Outstanding Universal Value. A dam constructed outside the southern boundary of the buffer zone has, in the past, created significant environmental pressures on one part of the petroglyphs of the property, but its negative impact has now been largely mitigated.
Authenticity
The property retains a high level of authenticity in its form and design, its materials and substance, location and setting. The dam outside the buffer zone caused some degree of topographical transformation, but this has been restored. Overall, the attributes expressing the Outstanding Universal Value of the property have been kept virtually intact until today.
Protection and management requirements
The property is protected under the Cultural Heritage Protection Act and other relevant laws, such as the Water Supply and Waterworks Installation Act and the Forest Protection Act. The property and its buffer zone are designated nationally as protected areas (under the category of Scenic Site). The two rock panels that have a high concentration of petroglyphs are also listed as National Treasures. Conservation and restoration projects for the property are carried out by specialist institutes and nationally certified professionals in order to preserve its integrity and authenticity.
The local government has established a dedicated property management body that is responsible for drawing up an integrated management plan, coordinating inputs from various stakeholders, and performing other tasks related to the management of the property. The local government is working to control the environmental pressures on one part of the property, particularly with regard to the potential drying out of the Daegok-ri panel due to the redevelopment of the Sayeon Dam. The central and local governments continuously monitor a number of physical and biological parameters to ensure that the state of conservation of the property is maintained.
