The Hyperbole

I went to Gyeongju to check out some of the historical sites there. I was told this area has the most historical sites in Korea. Although it may have the most historical sites many of them seemed... fake? For instance, this "historical site" is a recent mock up of an ancient temple. The whole experience seemed phony bologny. This is another example of Korean and Japanese cultural conflict. China has clearly been a power in the region for several thousand years but Korea and Japan fight about everything including who was around first. As a result, both countries try to trace their cultures back thousands of years. These "Temples" are the result of that tracing. If Korea can claim they found older ruins then Japan then they will win the upper hand.
