Enigmatic Codes Inscribed on the Epitaph of King Munmu of Gyeongju Who is King Seonghan, the founder of Silla? Who is Tuhu? Were the royal family of Silla descendants of the Xiongnu? Who is King Seonghan, as described in the epitaph of King Munmu? The epitaph of King Munmu records that King Seonghan was the founder of Silla. King Seonghan does not appear at all in the Samguk Sagi or Samguk Yusa. The tombstone of Kim Inmun, King Munmu's younger brother, also records that King Seonghan was the founder of Silla. Who is this mysterious figure, King Seonghan? The mysterious character "Tuhu" inscribed on the epitaph of King Munmu According to the Book of Han, Tuhu refers to Kim Il-je, the crown prince of the Xiongnu. The Xiongnu were a horse-riding people who settled in Mongolia and Central Asia, and were an object of fear for the Chinese. Qin Shi Huang began building the Great Wall to ward off the Xiongnu, and Liu Bang, who founded the Han Dynasty, suffered a humiliating defeat at the hands of the Xiongnu. Later, during Emperor Wu of Han's campaign to subdue the Xiongnu, Kim Il-je was captured, and it was later revealed that he was granted the title of Tuhou by Emperor Wu of Han. The cryptic expressions appearing in the epitaph of King Munmu suggest a close relationship between Kim Il-je and King Seonghan. Silla artifacts that resemble those of the Xiongnu: Are the Kim Dynasty descendants of the Xiongnu? Early Silla tombs and Xiongnu tombs share the same stone-chambered wooden chamber style, and the same Ordos-style Xiongnu cauldron was also excavated from a Silla tomb. Gold crowns that emerged during the reign of the Silla Kim Dynasty are also consistent with Xiongnu culture, which held gold sacred. Could these artifacts truly provide evidence that the Silla Kim Dynasty was descended from the Xiongnu?
