[KS] North Korean temple photos

[Frank Hoffmann]

How is it possible that someone posts completely wrong information on 
such images (with wrong dating also) allegedly depicting a Korean 
"national treasure"? (Changan-sa was already declared a national 
treasure during the colonial period, and it still is now.) That posting 
Brother Anthony referred to was copied a good 100 times on the 
Internet, to various blogs. Nowhere do I see any sort of responses 
there, someone saying, no, that is all bogus and all wrong. Why is 
this? If I post an image of Neuschwanstein on a Korean board and claim 
it to be Buckingham Palace, I think I'd be corrected within minutes. Or 
bloggers would at least question that within minutes. To be sure, I am 
NOT saying that every sixth grader would need to know how Changan-sa 
looked, or what those photos actually show, etc. But it is somewhat 
disturbing to see that with that much attention these posts get in 
Korea (trough replications), the public just digests that and nobody 
jumps on it. And this was just one of so many examples. I find that 
highly disturbing.

This is not meant to be a rhetorical question. 


Best,
Frank
