Do you know many things about Korea? Well, if you want to learn more, go visit the National Museum of Korea. This museum has taught me many things about it. I was very interested about one of the three kingdoms, Silla.

    Parkhyeokgeose established Silla in 57 B.C. A legend says that he was born from an egg. Gyeongju had been Silla's capital for more than a thousand years. Because of this, people say that Gyeongju is a museum. UNESCO included Gyeongju Historical Areas in its World Heritage list in 2000.

    Did you know that of the ten golden crowns in the world, eight are from Korea?  I was very proud  of our country when I knew this information. Silla crowns are quite heavy and are very ornated.

    Later in history, Silla joined with Dang and defeated Baekjae and Goguryeo together. But soon, Dang wanted to rule Silla also. After nine years of fighting, Silla finally unified the Three Kingdoms!

     It was nice to visit the National Museum of Korea and learn lots of things about our country. Long live Korea!
