일본서기의 조작을 밝혀낸 61자의 비밀 코드! 일본 역사학계를 발칵 뒤집은 진실 | KBS HD 역사스페셜 20050826 방송

※ This video was produced in 2005 and may differ from the current situation. ■ Why did the Seven-Branched Sword become a Japanese national treasure? The Seven-Branched Sword, a sword crafted in Baekje in 369 AD—however, this sword is currently kept as a Japanese national treasure in the restricted area of ​​Isonokami Shrine. Japanese academia defines the Seven-Branched Sword as a tribute from Baekje and presents it as evidence for the Imna-Nihonbu Theory (the theory that ancient Japan ruled the southern part of the Korean Peninsula)... But was the Seven-Branched Sword a tribute offered by Baekje to the Japanese king as Japan claims? The only key to resolving this question lies in the 61-character gold-inlaid inscription engraved on the surface of the sword. Korean and Japanese historians have been engaged in a fierce debate over whether it was a tribute or a gift. ■ Is it really possible to create a branch-shaped sword using the forging method? — An experiment to restore the 1,600-year-old Seven-Branched Sword! The Seven-Branched Sword (Chilji-do), featuring a gold-inlaid inscription on its 75-centimeter-long blade—the production team recreated the sword in the exact same size and form as the original to restore its splendid appearance from over 1,600 years ago. The sword was crafted using the forging method, which involves hammering iron. Unlike ordinary swords that are straight, the Seven-Branched Sword features six blades extending to the left and right. Creating such a delicate design through the forging method—rather than the casting method of pouring molten metal into a pre-made mold—is by no means an easy task even with modern technology. What was Baekje's hidden intention in mobilizing such special technology and effort to produce a sword for the Japanese Emperor? ■ A massive reservoir with a circumference of 4 kilometers constructed by mobilizing over 30,000 people—‘Gimje Byeokgolje,’ traces of a grand construction project that demonstrated powerful royal authority Byeokgolje in Gimje, North Jeolla Province, is known to have been constructed in 330 AD, the 27th year of King Biryu of Baekje. Ancient history records indicate that the minimum circumference of Byeokgolje reached nearly 4 kilometers. A massive construction project estimated to have mobilized a total of approximately 32,000 people—this implies that the Baekje dynasty at the time possessed a large-scale manpower management system under strong royal authority. Given that Baekje had already demonstrated such national power in the mid-4th century, would it be plausible that they presented the Seven-Branched Sword to Japan? ■ Northern Nomadic Peoples Who Worshipped Trees and the Beliefs of East Asia!—Illuminating the connection between the unique shape of the Seven-Branched Sword and tree worship. Six branches extending outward from a central blade as the axis. Its unique shape is unprecedented, to the extent that the inscription declares, "There has never been a sword like this since ancient times." The production team traces its origins to the tree worship of northern nomadic peoples and East Asia. Ancient people worshipped trees as a medium connecting gods and humans, believing them to be the center of the world and the source of life. The creation of the Seven-Branched Sword (Chilji-do), modeled after the form of that sacred tree, was intended to proclaim that Baekje was the center of the world. Let us feel the enterprising spirit of the 4th-century Baekje people who sought to transcend the Korean Peninsula and stand tall as the center of Northeast Asia. ※ This video is [HD History Special - Baekje, The Secret Door, the Seven-Branched Sword], aired on August 26, 2005. #History #Manipulation #Writing This is the official KBS Documentary channel.
