(From Bibliography  list) || Citation (Matthews, 2010, Roman Colosseum) || (This is only for man made landmarks) || .In July 27, 1953, the DMZ was created || http://en.wikipedia.org || (Wikipedia,2011,Korean DMZ) || (only if man made) || the workers in korea || http://en.wikipedia.org || (Wikipedia,2011,Korean DMZ) || it is like an army base. || http://en.wikipedia.org The tunnel, which was about 1.2 m (4 ft) high by 0.9 m (3 ft) wide, extended more than 1,000 m (1,100 yd) beyond the MDL into South Korea. The tunnel was reinforced with concrete slabs and had electric power and lighting. There were weapons storage and sleeping areas. A narrow gauge railway with carts had also been installed. Estimates based on the tunnel's size, suggest it would have allowed approximately 2,000 [|KPA soldiers] (one regiment) to pass through it per hour || http://en.wikipedia.org || (Wikipedia,2011,Korean DMZ) ||

 * (Wikipedia,2011,Korean DMZ) ||
 * 5. What is its size? || It is 250 kilometres (160 miles) long,[|[1]] approximately 4 km (2.5 mi) wide and is the most heavily militarized border in the world.[|[2]][|[3]] The [|Northern Limit Line], or NLL, is the de facto [|maritime boundary] between North and South Korea in the [|Yellow Sea] and the coastline and islands on both sides of the NLL are also heavily militarized || http://en.wikipedia.org || (Wikipedia,2011,Korean DMZ) ||
 * 6. What is your landmark's history? Why was it built? || The [|38th parallel north]—which divides the Korean Peninsula roughly in half—was the original boundary between the [|US]-occupied and [|Soviet]-occupied areas of Korea at the end of [|World War II]. Upon the creation of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK, informally North Korea) and the Republic of Korea (ROK, informally South Korea) in 1948, it became a [|de facto] international border and one of the most tense fronts in the [|Cold War]. || http://en.wikipedia.org || (Wikipedia,2011,Korean DMZ) ||
 * 7. Why is it special, interesting, or famous? Are there any "juicy" details? || The first of the tunnels was discovered by a South Korean Army patrol, noticing steam rising from the ground. The initial discovery was met with automatic fire from North Korean soldiers. Five days later, during a subsequent exploration of this tunnel, U.S. Navy Commander Robert M. Ballinger and ROK Marine Corps Major Kim Hah Chul were killed in the tunnel by a North Korean explosive device. The blast also wounded five Americans and one South Korean from the United Nations Command.
 * 8. What do people do there? || Owing to this theoretical stalemate, and genuine hostility between the North and the South, large numbers of troops are still stationed along both sides of the line, each side guarding against potential aggression from the other side. The armistice agreement explains exactly how many military personnel and what kind of weapons are allowed in the DMZ. Soldiers from both sides may patrol inside the DMZ, but they may not cross the MDL. Sporadic outbreaks of violence due to North Korean hostilities killed over 500 South Korean soldiers and 50 U.S. soldiers along the DMZ between 1953 and 1999.[|[5]] || http://en.wikipedia.org || (Wikipedia,2011,Korean DMZ) ||
