A few years some Danish archaeologists restored ago “Thusbjerg”. Following picture of a newspaper-article gives a view on the restoring. The question remains which errors they made. According the habitants of the farm the entrance was on the other side of the hill before restoring (see further).

The habitants of the farm near "Thusbjerg" showed an old aerial-picture of the farm and the grave-mound (left on top). On this picture it is clearly visible that the tomb's entrance is situated on the west side. Why do the archaeologists made the entrance on the east side?
