Death and Succession
Hyeokgeose ruled for around 60 years, and set the foundation for a kingdom that would unify much of the Korean Peninsula in 668.
Park Hyeokgeose maintained control over his kingdom and was one of the few Park rulers to hold complete power over Silla. He died at age 73, and was buried in Sareung, north of Dameomsa (south of present-day Namcheon of Gyeongju). Hyeokgeose was succeeded by his eldest son Namhae.
