00:00Welcome to the National Museum of World Riding Systems.
00:07He is Se-hee and I'm going to guide you through the exhibition today.
00:16So from now on, a permanent exhibition which is titled Civilization and Riding a Great Journey begins here.
00:24Let's straight move into the exhibition hall downstairs.
00:27Typical feature of our museum is this digital panels which are placed everywhere in this museum to give information in nine languages.
00:41As you can see on the back side, there is a huge artwork made by Kim Seung-yeon, the Korean artist.
00:48The artist focuses on the story from Tower of Babel.
00:55So it is kind of modern version of Tower of Babel.
00:59And starting from here, we can look at the various riding systems.
01:04So let's go into it.
01:11The first thing you're going to meet is the Kuneipo.
01:14The Kuneipo was the first letters made by humankind invented in Mesopotamia.
01:21It is the letters used by 10 languages including Akkadian language.
01:29And this tablet of round art contains the song of the Akkadian literature.
01:37A total of 60 lines were recorded in the front and back.
01:43The context is the Akkadian translation of mythology.
01:49Traditional mythology of the blue.
01:52So this is a replica of Kodum Hammurabi from Rouleau Museum in Paris.
01:59You can actually hands on the texture.
02:01And it is the legal document published by Hammurabi, the sixth monarch of Babylonia.
02:08It is the most extensive known collection of ancient clothes.
02:13And you can also touch this panel as well.
02:16So just like this replica in our museum, there are several replicas you can actually hands on.
02:22There is the Egyptian part and Balkan part is following.
03:46It is important because it is the beginning of the full scale commercial publication.
03:59And which will eventually lead to the popularization of knowledge and information.
04:07If this is the world's first metal time printing, do you know why it is the world's first metal time printing?
04:14The answer is over there.
04:16It is called Jikji from Korea.
04:19Actually, the Korean Jikji, it is 78 years earlier than this Bible.
04:27And next to the Korean metal time, there is a 100th Korean language book.
04:34It was written before this Bible.
