However, to write a complete and detailed description of the history of the Keureuto river is very difficult, because there is no clear relic of the site. There is only a large tall tomb, which he supposedly said was the burial of the elephant at that location. We have not been able to make good use of our writing culture in the past. So with this Steemit Platform come on let's write a good and useful for everyone, both about history, stories and things that have benefits. Is not it unfortunate that the generation after us does not know at all about the history of the civilization of its own ancestors. Let us a little repeat the history past, as well as we make a review and make as experience for our nation and future generation.
