In 1976, Japan stopped all foreign archaeologists from studying the tomb. In 2008, Japan allowed limited access to foreign archaeologists, but [[National Geographic Society|National Geographic News]] reported that Japan "the agency has kept access to the tombs restricted, prompting rumors that officials fear excavation would reveal bloodline links between the "pure" [[Imperial Family of Japan|imperial family]] and Korea—or that some tombs hold no royal remains at all".
