If you have not been listening to the terrific “A History of the World in 100 objects”, well, you should be.
A recent entry featured a Korean roof tile from the 8th century. The place it is from, Gyeongu, is nearby where I live. Hoping to visit soon. Check out the link. Click on the “Listen to Programme” link on the right hand side. ( I know, those adorable English with their cute spellings- “Programme”!)
