In his book Retracing the Ancient Korean Sky and Its Myths: The Celestial Utopia Depicted in Koguryo Tomb Paintings, author Il-gwon Kim builds on his expertise in Eastern classics and religions.  He employs his initial training as a hard scientist to unmask the cosmology and associated myths of ancient Korea as captured by the tomb murals of the Koguryŏ kingdom. This volume is the digest of decades of his pioneering work in Korean archeoastronomy and publications on the subject. The author has taken great care to make the content understandable to the general readership, advocating the inclusion of additional material that could be of interest for the more curious reader, many of which are original (technical) illustrations showing the Western and Eastern constellations at a glance.
