It is a very happy thing to be able to share the precious treasures of Korea's mountain temples, a world cultural heritage, with many people through the National Museum of Korea.
Visited there once it was located in a high mountain in Gyeongju. Wasn't allowed to take pictures or videos inside. My husband told me that when the korean was colonized by Japanese they intent to ruin the sculpture but couldn't for it was perfectly intact. Korean history is indeed mind blowing. I actually have a video hope you watch it.
Great animated demonstration showing the construction. However, this video fails to explain that the Seokguram is an exact, scaled down replica of the Pantheon in Rome. This means that via the Silk Road, builders must have had communication with the Pantheon engineers--not just a casual conversation but an insider's guide. The butterfly joinery and the stone architecture that is the same used for the Pantheon cannot be a coincidence. Also, the video does not provide an explanation of the decorative medallion and why a broken piece was installed. Surely, the stonecutters could easily have made another whole piece. The reason why the broken pieces were nevertheless installed is because it represented the 3 Kingdoms of Korea and the effort to unite them. The medallion is unique to the Seokguram since the Pantheon of course does not have an equivalent. The Pantheon leaves the oculus open. Still, amazing structure and a compelling video.
I don't remember seeing a giant Buddha in Roma xD Joke aside : it is not a replica at all !! Only the dome looks like it. Researchers have no idea if there is a connection between the 2 so the Museum is not gonna make up stories. Some people think they look too much alike to be a coincidence but history does not work that way. The Seokguram is actually based on Korean architecture from before with influences from india and other cultures. It is a Korean treasure that mashes up tons of elements, so obviously, the Museum is not gonna say its a copy from Roma ^^
