Tomb of King Muryeong-wang
Group of Ancient in Tombs Songsan-ri (Tomb of king Muryeong-wang)
(Historical Relic No. 12) : Location : San 5, Geumsong-dong, Gongju city.
It was found when drainage work was conducted to prevent water penetration into the Songsanri old tombs No. 5 and 6 in 1971 and excavated for the first time about 1,500 years after it was made. In particular, people were so excited because the tomb clearly recorded that the tomb was for King Muryeong and his wife. According to excavation, the tomb of King Muryong looked like a small hill . Its diameter was about 20m and its height was 7.7m from the bottom. However, as times went by, it was seriously damaged.
Then, it is estimated that the tomb was much bigger than it is now.
The front side consists of a single room and the section is a long rectangular shape from south to north. There is a passage into a tomb in the middle. The wall is vertical from the top to the bottom, that is, south to north. The east and west side is formed with arch ceiling with gradual curve. The inner side of the tomb is 4.2m from south to north and 2.72m from east to west. The height from the top to the bottom in the middle is 3.14m. The tomb burying King and his wife is built in the basic dimension without waste of space. On the walls, long bricks and small bricks are piled up in turn. Four long bricks are horizontally piled up and 11 small bricks are vertically piled up in four horizontal piling and one vertical piling method. |

Magoksa
Magoksa was named because a believer said it looked like hemp stack on a hemp field when the monk Bocheol of Silla preached. According to the story from the temple, the monk Jajangyulsa built it in the 12th year(642) of Queen Seondeok¡¯s reign and the monk Bojoguksa of Goryeo reconstructed it. However, its origin is not confirmed and its history is not clear. Meanwhile, the 12th year of Queen Seondeok¡¯s reign is the 2nd year of King Uija of Baekje.
If it is true that it was built in 642, it had to be the second year of King Uija¡¯s reign. Nevertheless, its year of establishment is inficated in the period of Silla that was the hostile country. Several manuscripts of the Buddhist scriptures using gold or silver liquid are remained up to now, which are representative relics of Buddhist culture in the latter period of Goryeo. One interesting thing related to this temple was widely known as the special area where people could escape from risks during the war, that is, Sipseungjiji(ten safest regions) at the early Joseon period. [Taekriji] of Yi Jung-Hwan told that Magoksa was not damaged during Japanese invasion in 1592 and Korean War |
