    It's hard not to notice how something written with such emotion in stone still becomes forgotten in a time before documentation became the cacophony it is today. I guess the fact that it remained near a temple site at least may imply it had a lasting effect on others.

    Basically study planner for ancient boys. Whether they managed to study all those book or not, now that will remain as mystery...

    Anything from 550-700ish could also be something more martial since the unification wars and the Sill-Tang wars were at their height. They may have even been hwarang

    You are right about that. It is interesting that they especially mention that they sworn to study Confucian bibles in perspective of academic/philosophic history too.

    I've been greatly enjoying these comics. They are educational and entertaining.

    But I've been meaning to ask, why do all the characters appear to have long droopy ears? Is that some sort of period head dress, a stylistic choice by the artist, or something culturally significant?

    Is there a greater divine punishment than to have written such an important thing and have your name forgotten?
