AI Abstract
Gyeongju, a significant historical city in Korea, served as the capital of the Silla Kingdom for nearly a thousand years. Silla, divided into three periods—Saroguk, Silla, and Unified Silla—evolved through significant cultural and political transformations, including adopting Buddhism as a state ideology. Gyeongju's unique development, as evidenced by its consistently centered capital, diverse tomb structures, and prominent Buddhist influences, reflects its deep-rooted connection to Silla's extensive history and rich culture.
