Iron's Kingdom

Gaya (Kaya), is a loosely allied confederacy of city states placed near the Nakdong river (now Gimhae). Though it's the smallest kingdom on Three Kingdom's era in Korean History, but Gaya's culture was the highest culture at that time. This Kingdom often referred to as "Iron's Kingdom" because it was a major producer of iron for this region of the world. They did trade until China, Japan and might be India (amazing! at that time!!). Cause the King's wife, Queen Heo Hwangok, was a princess of Ayutah Kingdom in India.

But, had less military power because of it's small area..

As written on history, this confederacy kingdom lasted from year 42 CE until defeated by Silla Kingdom on 532 CE. It's was the beginning of the Unified Silla Period.

Queen Heo Hwangok and she was a princess of Ayutah Kingdom in India.

these two duck pottery is Gaya Kingdom's symbol..

King Suro's tomb (1), he was the first Gaya's King.

"gate to heaven"

maybe it's because it's the tomb's entry gate..^^

But, i didn't visit the entire complex. It was raining, and my guide was bussy reading the explanation script. haha.. he supposed to memorized it, actually..

But, I took a few pictures from other's blog : http://tigersandmagpies.com/2010/02/gimhae-and-the-gaya-kingdom/ (thanks!^^)
