There are several stories about that Shilla had had a contact with western civilization.
In the museum, I could find out some relics which could be witnesses about the acceptance of western civilization in Shilla dynasty.
It is interesting to find the statue which can be thought as the western appearance.
The western features in the statue were mainly having the appearance of warrior.
May be at the age of Shilla dynasty, the westerns who had visited Shilla seemed to be very brave and strong people.
It is believed that the western people who had visited Shilla Dynasty was Persian.
Do you imagine that Persians had crossed the sea and arrived at Shilla more than 2 thousands years ago. It is unbelievable they had sailed from Persia to Shilla.
Excluding Persia, Shilla had had a close contact with India and Vetnam.
When we thought the location of Shilla was located in the far end of Korean peninsular, the fact that Shilla had had an active contact with Pesia was a kinds of enigma.
In the history book, I couldn’t read that Back Jae and Goguyeo had a close contact with the western civilization like Shilla.
We should confirm that Persian at that time was not a Muslim State. As you know, Persia was a very civilized country at that time.
The relics which were believed to be influenced from Persia were as below.
The lion statue was as same as that of Persian.
In some point of view, the lion statue seemed to be influence by Greek civilization.
Actually there were no lions in Korean peninsular.
Koreans at that time hardly could watch a lion.
How they made the statue what they couldn’t watch.
Other figure statue also seemed a western people.
The hair and face are as same as the western people.
The culture and civilization have developed through the exchange.
It is still unknown how Shilla could have an active contact with western civilization.
But one thing obvious was this active contact with other civilization was a source of the power of Shilla dynasty.
In geopolitica perspective, Shilla was the most disadvantageous country among 3 countries.
In my opinion, Shilla had overcome the disadvantage with the active acceptance of foreign civilizations.
Isn't it amazing you could find this kind of western style relics in the far east.
There were more active contact in ancient world than we thought.
I hope to find out more evidences of the contact with the western civilization during my trip in Gyeongju.

Hello @Slowwalker.
I am into history myself, but in my case my studies for the most have been the Norwegian and European timeline.
Have been touching Japanese and China, but I must say that Korean history are quiet new to me.
So maybe I will have to look at it a bit more.
I guess they must have an interesting story to tell since they have been more or less surrounded by a lot of the superpowers from the ancient time.
How do you become to know so much about it? Are you from Korea?
Kindest regards
@Gyldenhorn
Yes, I am Korean.
Korean culture was a source of Japanese culture in ancient time.
Especially Baek Jae Dynasty was the beginning of King family in Japan.
I did not know that.
Have starting to do some research around it now
Thank you for the tip.
I never had time to go to museums but due to your posts I am learning a lot about history, thanks for sharing!

I really like cognitive stories. Thank you for the post!
Thank you for stopping by
Very pretty statues and cool story. It's amazing that relics tell facts about the past. The whole world was probably interconnected then and we don't even know about it!
We still do not know much about the ancient world, he hides a lot of mysteries. Thank you for trying to reveal at least some of these riddles!
lol

We people think the world is small now due to technology.
But seems like our ancestors didn’t give a shit about it. They just went places to do their thing.

From the evidence of the historic heritage it indicates there is contact with westerners. It may sound like a stronger proof of this history. Thank you for sharing a post about history I have never met before. Good luck always for you @slowwalker.

Real history always inspired me. Thanks for share it.

Yes, I think so

Thank you for reading
I think it might be hard to know how much westerners and others traveled around the globe in ancient times. It is obvious in these relics that they were being influenced by someone.
Yes, I think so
Good friend.

Worth reading! This is an interesting article @slowwalker. I will look forward to your next post. Followed you. Good luck finding more pieces of evidence for your topic. :)
Thank you so much
It's amazing how people can still come and get contact with each other even in the ancient times. This strongly proves how people want to communicate and want to get in contact with other communities which we still do until today. The lion relics are astonishing to watch
Thank you for reading.
The contact must be continued
Wow so much good information and history. Thanks for sharing! @journeyfreedom

Hey there! Great article! How is it that you know so much about archeology?! When I was living in Mexico we saw a lot of museums with relics from the Mayan & Aztecs culture! It is so interessting to see them and also to see how much information they still transmit. I already have seen the ones there and in Peru (Incas), but never had the chance to get to Asia! I heard that it is also pretty similar though! So interesting to see that back then the world already seemed to be connected somehow - Thanks for stopping by my blog by the way! I appreciate that.
It is believed that civilization of central Asia have a strong connection with that of Maya, Aztec and Incas.
