Queen Seondeok of Silla (c. 595 ~ 610 - 647), 27th ruler of one of the Three Kingdoms of Korea, from 632-647, who brought about a renaissance in culture and science and built the Cheomseongdae moon and star-gazing observatory. This is the anniversary of her death.

Known for her intelligence, wisdom & benevolence, stories survive of her curiosity & cleverness even as a child. 🧵

Not sure about that. A Korean person posted details about that when I was still on another instance .
Perhaps for the small intime group around her. But outside the Palace she was just King I understand.
