Theme: Ancient Maritime Interaction between the Korean peninsula and Southeast Asia

Speaker: Cho Hung-Guk (professor at Graduate School of International Studies, Busan University)

The speaker has suggested the possibility of various interrelations by sea between Korea and Southeast Asia during the ancient era (from the first century to the ninth century). His investigation has included a probable influence of maritime culture in the formation of prehistoric Korean culture and possible personal interactions which were based on the story of Indian princess He Hoang Ok as well as historical records of Buddhist pilgrimage to India via Southeast Asia.
