금관은 죽은 자의 것이었다? (KBS_2000.09.23.방송)

◼︎ In 1973, a historic excavation took place at Cheonmachong Tomb in Daereungwon, Gyeongju. Among the artifacts that had been buried underground for 1,500 years, a gold crown, arguably the epitome of Silla's golden culture, was discovered. However, at the time of excavation, the crown had a shape different from what we typically expect: a cone-shaped crown covering the face. The crown, weighing approximately 100 don (about 100 won) in gold, weighed approximately 1kg, making it a heavy burden for everyday wear. The gilt-bronze shoes found at the foot of the buried person were also made of gold-plated copper and measured a staggering 342mm (34.2cm). These gold artifacts likely belonged to the deceased, not as utilitarian objects, but were specifically crafted for funeral rites, and the gold crown is highly likely to have been created for this purpose as well. #KoreanHistory #History #HistorySpecial #HistoryJournal Copyright ⓒ KBS.
