AI 3-line summary
- In 2007, a three-layered reliquary bearing a 29-character inscription was found at the pagoda site of Wangheungsa Temple in Buyeo, Chungcheongnam-do, confirming the temple's founding year as 577.
- The reliquary, made of a bronze bowl, silver jar and gold bottle, records that King Chang of Baekje built the pagoda for a deceased prince, and it is designated as National Treasure No. 327.
- Predating the Samguk Sagi's record of the temple's founding in 600 by 23 years, Wangheungsa was likely a long-term project that began under King Wideok and was completed under King Mu.
