broadcasted in Dec, 2003---------In May, 523, the Emperor passed away and the glorious era of him has disappeared into deep darkness. And now His empire and the history of it have been forgotten.
In 1971, the tomb of Muryung, 25th emperor of Baekje, was discovered and he returned to the world from 1400 year darkness . It was the revival of Baekje-now ruined but was so powerful.
1:00 Baekje was a maritime empire that was one of important political and diplomatic leaders of East Asia. International trade was one of important ways to increase national wealth.
1:19 There is a great possibility that Baekje had overseas territories. '22 DAMNOs' is a key to the possibility.
2:30 Baekje has been recognized as the weakest dynasty among the three of Korea around 6C. But is the fixed idea that Baekje was the weakest truth we should believe?
Everything in ancient history remains uncertain. Much part of it is myserious, which make history re-anayized whenever new evidences are discovered.
3:10 We are going to solve the mystery of Baekje's overseas territories to save the truth about Baekje from 1000 year darkness.
3:58 Nango-chon is a very small village with a population of 3000. Today, this samll mountain village is receving many visitors from outside the village. Among the visitors there Koreans are.Among the names on the seats designated for the invited people for the event, Korean names are seen.
4:44 It is to celebrate the completion of a new building : 6 year construction and 1.5 yen. The building is called 'Seo-Jungcahngwon' built following the biggest Japanese historical museum(正倉院)' To the building dedication ceremony, Koreans are the most important figures.
5:17 In Nangochon, a small Japanese village, even sings are all in Korean. Bakeje is the most common Korean word here. The Nango villagers call their neighbourhood 'Baekje'. Nangochon youths learn Korean drum dance (Samulori) to celebrate their identity : Baekje descentants.
5:50 In Makado temple in the village (Nangochon) their Baekje King(as their god)is enshrined, who has become legend among his descendants : 1300 years ago, with the fall of Baekje, while King Jungga sailing to Kyushu, his ship was caught in a storm. His ship reach the islands and he settled in Nangochon.
Another Baekje ship which King Bockji, oldest son of King Jungga, was sailing reached another island and King Bockji settled in Kijojung village, 90km southward from Nangochon. Spirit tablet of King Bockji is enshrined in Yiki temple.
This old manuscript has legend about the two Kings. The father and son lived separate from each other even after they knew where they settled, keeping their new settlements.
However, their enemies chased the King Jungga and he fought a fierce battle. King Bockji came to help his father but the father and son were killed at this stony hill in the back of the village. Nangochon people believe this site is where their Kings died. They say these reddish stones are becaused of the blood they bled.
7:45 At the entrance of the Nangochon village, there is the site where has been known to be the site where the King Jungga was buried.
812 Every December the two villagers from Nangochon and Kijojung have a ceremony together to perform the march where King Bockje walked towards Nangochon village to have audience with King Jungga, his father and have a ancestral ceremony to sooth the souls of the two kings. The legend is not a legend for them ; that was a real thing that have continued for 1400 years now.
8:48 6 years ago (1997), here in the temple of KIng Jungga, evidences(historic remains) to support the true existence of the Baekje Kings were found. They were 33 ancient bronze mirrors produced during 4C~7C, symbols of power in ancient time.
이것만 바도 고구려,백재는 역사상 위대한 나라엿으나 신라는 외세 세력을 끌러들여
자신을의 부기영화만 추구하는 나라엿다는것이다.
지금 한국은 바로 그 신라판이라는 것에 맘이 아프다 .신라의 화랑재도만 바도 신라가 얼마나 페퇴햇는지 알수도있다.그들은 혼인전 잔치에서 성관개를 맷고 결혼을 햇다고했다 신라는 우리 한민족 역사에 수치다.

Silla still remains misterious - too many things still unsolved ; its true territory ; cultural and political influlences on other peoples. Have you already watched videos of Korean documentaries about Silla? Check Silla videos on my video list.
