Editorial Note: The Tomb of King Muryeong — Providing the Impetus for Overcoming Misunderstandings of Baekje History

The royal fortress of Baekje, Sabiseong Fortress, was captured by Silla and Tang forces in 660 CE. Baekje's King Uija and many of his noble subjects were taken as prisoners to Tang China, and Baekje's former lands came to be ruled by Silla and the Tang Dynasty.

Many of Baekje's remaining population resisted and mounted a revival movement, but even this failed completely in 663 CE. As a result, the kingdom of Baekje was erased from history, and the Baekje people began to live as Silla people or left their homeland and crossed the sea to emigrate to Japan, where they pioneered new lives for themselves.

At the end of the ninth century CE, a country called Later Baekje was established by Gyeon Hwon, but this was only for political purposes and was not a true restoration of Baekje. After the chaotic period of the Later Three Kingdoms period, the Goryeo Dynasty was founded, followed by the Joseon Dynasty, in which the beginnings of Korea's modern history can be traced.
