GYEONGJU, July 7 (Yonhap) -- About 200m off the coast here, the rocky islet, Daewang-am, or the Great King's Rock stands below the upcoming seasonal rain front. The rock is the undersea tomb of Munmu-wang(661~681), the 30th ruler of the Silla Kingdom(57B.C~935), who unified the Korean Peninsula as one kingdom. As the ruler wished to become the dragon of the East Sea and protect Silla after his death, his ashes were scattered across the sea.
