Japan's Atrocities that Ruined Seokguram Grotto
The Seokguram Grotto in Gyeongju withstood over a thousand years without a single speck of mold. The secret was the cold spring water that flowed beneath the floor. It was Silla's natural dehumidifier, ensuring condensation formed only on the floor instead of the Buddha statues. However, in 1913, the Japanese, unaware of this principle, applied concrete and drained the spring water, which is when the problems began. Now, they barely manage humidity with glass walls and machinery. Discover the thousand-year-old science achieved without a drop of electricity, in this video.

Slurp! The Silla's wisdom of controlling humidity with spring water is truly brilliant and meticulous. Just as you explained ancient engineering a few days ago, it's a shame that artificial destruction harms the essence. I wonder if this natural principle is also important for managing Silvalca's gems, hmm!

It might be because Japan is generally at a monkey's intelligence level. While they might be strong due to extensive human experimentation research, they learned architectural styles and pottery crafts through exchanges with Korean peninsula nations like Baekje, Silla, and Gaya. Alternatively, artisans from those countries stayed in Japan, or were even taken from Joseon to build things. Due to the geographical characteristic of being an island, it was inevitable that they would receive cultural advancements slower than the continent back then.

The balance that nature created in ancient times, we can't replicate today. Is the Janggyeong Panjeon at Haeinsa Temple, which houses the Tripitaka Koreana, a similar story? In modern times, to prepare for emergencies, they tried moving it to an underground vault within a sturdy concrete building, but they canceled the plan because they couldn't perfectly prevent moisture from accumulating.

It feels like accumulating knowledge like this one by one makes someone truly smart. It's so fascinating. Japan was so bad.

It's a shame that the legacy our ancestors left behind is being ruined because their descendants can't manage it properly.

Wow, it's amazing that the structure of Seokguram naturally regulated even the humidity ๐ณ The principles of science were hidden even in a single water channel, the Silla people's technology is incredible ๐๐
