Description
Book Introduction
This is a novel history of Baekje that overcomes the limitations of the Samguk Sagi records.
The author notes that the records in Chinese and Japanese historical records are not connected to the Samguk Sagi, and clearly restores the history of the Gutae lineage of the founders through the records of the Samguk Sagi in the Namdang manuscript.
From the reader's perspective, the content itself may be somewhat unfamiliar.
However, this unfamiliarity will rather bring insight into a new understanding of Baekje history.

Into the book
In Baekje history, there are unsolved problems such as the "Seven Millennium Prize Problems" including the so-called Poincare' conjecture, an unsolved problem in mathematics.
Despite the fact that our historical community has accumulated considerable achievements through consistent research since the liberation on August 15, this is still an area that cannot be clearly explained.
To summarize, it is like this.
① Was Baekje the Hae Dynasty or the Buyeo Dynasty?
② Why is there no concept of heavenly descendants or birth in the Baekje founding myth?
③ Who established the continental Baekje forces (Yeoseo-gun, Jinpyeong-gun)?
④ Are King Geunchogo and King Yeogu the same person? What is the basis for King Geunchogo being a conquering monarch?
⑤ Why did Prince Jeonji go to a foreign country as a hostage?
⑥ When did Baekje take control of the entire southwestern region, including Jeolla-do?
⑦ Why did Silla build the Byeokgolje in Gimje, Jeollabuk-do?
⑧ Why did King Munju choose Ungjin as the place of his new capital?
⑨ Who is buried in the Janggo-type tomb in the Jeonnam region?
⑩ Why did King Seong change the name of the country to Nambuyeo?
These ten unresolved issues are the limitations of the content described in the Samguk Sagi.
This is all a result of the deeply rooted geocentric theory of the Earth.
However, these problems can be surprisingly easily answered by converting to the old-fashioned heliocentric theory and applying it.
Most of them are intertwined with the history of the Sijo era.
---From the "Preface"

Publisher's Review
Opening a new horizon for the 700-year history of Baekje.

Author Jeong Jae-su dares to assert, “The Baekje history we know is only the tip of the iceberg.”
As a basis for this, the limitations of the record in the Baekje Annals of the Samguk Sagi are pointed out.
『Samguk Sagi』 is a history book that only compiles records of the lineage of the founder Onjo (including Biryu), who was a member of the Goguryeo lineage.
Historical space is limited to the Korean Peninsula.
In contrast, the history of the Buyeo lineage, the ancestors of the Gutae lineage, is a history like a huge iceberg hidden beneath the surface.
The historical space encompasses not only the Korean Peninsula, but also the Chinese mainland and the Japanese archipelago.
In particular, the history of the Sijo Gutae lineage can be defined as the history of the great march of the Buyeo horsemen.

These are the main characters who created the great historical belt of ancient East Asia, starting from Western Buyeo in mainland China, passing through Buyeo Baekje in the Korean Peninsula, and being reborn as Yamato in the Japanese archipelago.
This book is a new history of Baekje that restores the history of the Sijo Gutae lineage.
This is the Korean version of Baekjesa Season 2.
So, the Baekje history that we know of is about 40% of the Onjo lineage, and the remaining 60% is the history of the Gutae lineage.
This is the true face of Baekje Temple that we did not know about.

《The History of Baekje We Didn't Know》 is a truly novel history of Baekje that literally overcomes the limitations of the records in the Samguk Sagi.
The author notes that the records in Chinese and Japanese historical records are not connected to the Samguk Sagi, and clearly restores the history of the Gutae lineage of the founders through the records of the Samguk Sagi in the Namdang manuscript.
From the reader's perspective, the content itself may be somewhat unfamiliar.
However, this unfamiliarity will rather bring insight into a new understanding of Baekje history.
Jeong Jae-su's "Ancient History We Didn't Know" series also plans to publish the history of Goguryeo, Silla, and Gaya.
