GAYA

Gaya (aka Kaya or Karak) was a nferatn which led central-southern Korea durg the Three Kgdoms perd om the 1st to 6th century CE. The pensula was domated by Gaya's more powerful neighbourg kgdoms of Goguryeo (Koguryo), Baekje (Paekche), and Silla, but Gaya, often the fotten enty this perd, was neverthels rich iron ore and their craftsmen beme highly skilled at fashng iron objects such as armour and weapons.

The high level of culture achieved by the Gaya stat would fluence Japan, their most important tradg partner. The tradnal dat for the Gaya nferacy are 42-532 CE, however, morn historians prefer to emphasise the enty's more certa existence om the 2nd century CE. The nferatn nsisted of six trib, the most powerful of which were the Dae Gaya and Guya trib, wh the latter later known as the Bon Gaya ('Origal').

There are some clu as to Gaya relig life offered by artefacts revered om tombs.

In addn, a mural one Gaya tomb has the typil motifs seen Buddhist art such as lot leav and clouds. Throughout their history, the Gaya stat were nstantly harassed by their neighbours the Silla and Baekje kgdoms and nsequently never had the opportuny to form a more centralised state which polil stabily might have permted. From the mid-4th century CE, Baekje beme more terrorial amb durg the reign of Kg Gnchogo and attacked Gaya lands.

Then when the Silla kgdom expand the 6th century CE, Gaya's alliance wh Baekje did no good at all and Bon-Gaya was nquered and stroyed (532 CE), as was Daegaya (562 CE) and the other important Gaya towns. The Gaya nferatn was no more. The issue is loured by natnalistic bias so that some historians claim that Gaya was a Japane lony while others propose that horse rirs om the Eurasian steppe me to Japan via Gaya and troduced the burial tumul to that culture.

Evince is lackg eher way, although most scholars agree that the Gaya was the more advanced culture and recent fds of iron horse armour, notably om a 5th century CE tomb, suggt that the Gaya did master the e of that animal. More certa is that iron was the most important Gaya export to Japan.

Early relatns wh Han Cha is evinced by 1st-century CE Che fds at Bon-Gaya and by the prence of the slopg kiln ed by Gaya potters.
