1500년의 인연...다시 꽃피는 한국과 이란의
1500년의 인연...다시 꽃피는 한국과 이란의 문화 교류
What may come as a surprise... is South Korea and Iran's long-running relationship...
Cultural exchanges date back to the Three Kingdoms era, more than fifteen-hundred years ago... by way of the Silk Road.
Now, through the Korean Wave, the two countries have entered a new phase in cultural exchanges.
Lee Minyoung has this report.
A dark blue glass found in the Cheonmachong Tomb, one of Silla's royal tombs unearthed in Gyeongju.
An exotic golden sword found in Gyerim-ro, a street also located in Gyeongju.
These are all relics that are presumed to be sent to Silla from ancient Iran or Persia through the Silk Road.
It was only the Koryeo Dynasty during King HyeonJong's reign when trade with Persia was officially recorded in Korean history.
But in academic circles, it is presumed that both countries had active cultural exchanges during the 7th century Silla era... which means the relationship between Korea and Iran began more than 1-thousand 5-hundred years ago.
"If a history book written by the Persian scholar Khurdadbid, it states that Silla is located at the eastern end of China and reads... 'In this beautiful country Silla, there is much gold.'"
Relations between Korea and Iran went on until the Koryeo Dynasty, and since then the two started to slowly drift apart....
Not until the early 2000s, when Iran developed its nuclear program and strong economic sanctions were imposed... did the two nations become completely estranged.
However, with President Park visiting Iran to improve bilateral relations, and the Korean wave sweeping through the country, it's expected that their thousand year old history will reignite and bring about new cultural ties.
