It was very cold when I arrived at Gyeongju city. The cold weather was likely the last puch of the winter season. As soon as arriving at Gyeongju city, I headed for the national museum.
As I wrote in previous posting, Gyeongju city had been the capital of Shilla dynasty for more than 1000 years. But the appearance of Gyeongju city looked like just a small city except the tombs which were scattered here and there.
The entrance fee of the national museum was free. Free is always good. As entering into the museum, I could see lots of stone statues on the ground of the museum.
I’d like to post on the statues which were displayed on the ground of the museum
Almost of statues were related to Buddhism. While looking at these statues, I could think once more the meaning of Buddhism in this age.
Many statues were found in pieces scattered under the ground. The museum collected those scattered pieces, so unfortunately we don’t know the origins and the history of those statues.
There were 3 kinds of statues on the ground.
The first was towers having perfect appearance. They have perfect appearance, but nobody knows it’s exact history. The museum located the towers on the small hill. The towers very well suited the pines and the hills.
In the other side, there were the pieces of towers and monuments. It seemed that they were found in scattered pieces.
There were Buddha statues near the hill. The Buddha statues were also found in scattered here and there.
one of the statue was found in perfect condition
In some case, they could find only the head of the statue.
The statue of Buddha of Shilla dynasty seemed to be influenced by Gandara Style of India.
Especially at the early age of Shilla dynasty, the style of statue was similar to that of Gandara style
In fact Gandara was a starting point of Buddhist art, but unfortunately almost of relics of Buddhism were destroyed by Taliban.
Anyway It is marvelous for me that Gandara and Shilla had the common cultural connection.
Thank You for reading
Incredible, Even in my region they found ancient statues that were cut into pieces and scattered in the ground. Sometimes myths make a bad end.

Hey, @slowwalker !!! Nice Post.
I always Expecting such type of informative post on your blog.
Amazing! Wonderful pictures. I think Museums are one of the finest spots you can discover in a state or a nation. Magnificent, history filled and rich in recollections. These relics of Buddha and various noteworthy focuses display the important preparing of Buddhism "everlasting is never driving forward". Most likely a cool show to explore. I anticipate seeing a more unmistakable measure of your photos from it. everything considered, about Korean obvious, I like it, your photograph is marvelous.

It's always fun and educating when you travel to a place and explore their historical facts.
It will be more interesting when artifacts are there in place and well preserved.
The museum is good place to learn about this city and know more about the culture of the people.

This is really wonderful to see. I do like visiting museums and they add to me a lot on my knowledge. It gives abackground on what actually happened in the pass and pushes to know more about the people's origin or belief.
Last week i had gone to visit the kasubi tombs. This is a place where all the buganda Kings ( Uganda ) were buried. The site is really amazing to see and teaches people about the strength, belief and origin of people of Buganda. This place is honered and worshipped. They were considered as small gods.

Perhaps, these towers on hill-this tombstones? In Russia common similar mounds (we call them Barrows). This is an ancient Slavic burial of the 10th century. The higher and longer the mound, the greater the rank of the warrior buried there. These mounds are very similar to the hills you show. Interesting story, thank you.

These statues are very much similar to the statues found in our country.As you said that may be due to the Gandara style of India.It was the influential style even for the architecture of our country.So through these things it proves that there had been very good relationships among these countries during the past
