Breathe life into the ruins of Geumgwanchong.
The first gold crown was discovered in a private house in Gyeongju in 19212. This was an event that confirmed the reality of Silla, the country of gold. Most of the relics of Geumgwanchong that were investigated by Japanese scholars during the Japanese colonial period were kept in the National Museum of Korea after liberation.
The rediscovery of Geumgwanchong in 292 is a very big achievement in the study of Silla. It has a very important meaning in examining the political structure and social characteristics of Silla in detail during the maripgan period (345-514) and suggesting a new direction for the study of the stone tombs.
Accordingly, in order to inform future generations of the construction process, structure, and scale of Geumgwanchong, we decided to build the Geumgwanchong protection facility in 2018.
Excavation of the Golden Crown
In 20115, 95 years after the first gold crown was excavated, the National Museum of Korea rediscovered this tomb. It was a decision to restore the original shape of the stone tombs through the limitations of the investigation during the Japanese colonial period and the correction and reinterpretation of errors in the results of the investigation. The excavation revealed many new facts that were not known until now.
In the re-excavation in 2015, a great result was achieved that overturned the known construction process and structure of the stone tombs of Silla. That is, wooden furniture was erected for the stone muji, and river stones were filled in between them. In addition, it was possible to newly estimate the structure and size of the inner and outer walls and the size of the fief.
