Episode description

In 632 CE, something extraordinary happened. A woman named Seondeok became the very first queen to rule Korea. And not only was she a trailblazing ruler, but she was also a brilliant astronomer who studied the stars and planets. Join Anna, Leo, and Percy the mouse as they travel back in time to the kingdom of Silla in Korea. They'll explore Queen Seondeok's famous observatory, a tower built for star-gazing, and discover how she used her intelligence to leave her mark on history.
