Many of the royal tombs from the Three Kingdoms period were disturbed or destroyed, but not The Tomb of King Muryeong. This royal tomb was still intact when excavation was conducted. The royal signs and name tablets of the king and queen can still be found to determined the owner of the tomb. There are more than 4000 pieces of artifacts found with 17 of them being designated as National Treasures, now being housed in the National Museums in Gongju and Seoul respectively. When I was there, there was a small exhibition of the interrelationship between Baekje and the North Yi dynasty in ancient China. This museum is a must for any history lover.
