The thrill of archaeology: seeing literature, actual tombs, and museums all together
The flaws in the Imna Japan theory and the actual relationship between Gaya and Japan

Unfortunately, it was modern Japanese scholars who first investigated the Gaya tumuli using archaeological concepts.
Meanwhile, they blindly believed in the Nihon Shoki, their own historical record that recorded the theory of the Imna Japanese territories, and expected that a large number of Japanese relics would be excavated from the Gaya tombs, but their expectations were miserably shattered.
This is because only a large number of unique artifacts unique to Gaya were excavated from the Gaya tombs, and almost no Japanese artifacts were seen.


On the contrary, as a result of investigating the relics of the Gaya and Japanese regions during the modern and contemporary times, a large number of Gaya goldsmiths were excavated in the Japanese region.
Moreover, in the case of the Ninigi myth containing the genealogy of the Japanese emperors, it has a story that is so similar to the Dangun myth, King Suro of Kim Il-sung, and the Daegaya myth that the migratory forces that crossed over from the Korean Peninsula to Japan created a new clan myth based on the Dangun + Gaya myth that they were familiar with, and this has led to claims emerging not only in Korea but also in Japan.


In this way, this book identifies the flaws in the Imna Japan theory through the investigation of the Gaya tumuli group and examines in detail why such records appeared in the Nihon Shoki.

How to enjoy a trip to the Gaya Tombs
History as travel storytelling

If you approach history like studying a textbook, it might be very boring, but if you approach it as a fun way to follow historical sites while traveling, there is no travel storytelling as interesting as history.
In that sense, this book has a special meaning in that it not only introduces the history of Gaya, but also provides tips on how to enjoy your trip.
I hope that “Archaeology of Everyday Life: My Solo Trip to Daegaya” will serve as a useful guide for those who wish to travel to Gaya through travel storytelling.
