[edit] Proposing merge with Seokgatap

Back when I wrote this article I had the intention to eventually write about Seokgatap and put them both in the same article. Well someone else wrote Seokgatap before me and probably did a better job than I would have done. (Good work Tortfeasor!)

I believe they should be merge into 1 article because:

• Both pagodas were sculpted around the same time and by the same person.
• Geographically, they are located about 10 meters apart (minor detail).
• But most importantly they are associated with the same folklore. If a full article section was to be written about the story of Asadal and his wife (Seokgatap has a description of it but I believe something better can be written) than both article whould be containing the same text.

If the article are to be merged, than it should probably be renamed into something like Dabotap and Seokgatap, or Pagodas of Bulguksa.
About the last one I don't know if there are more than 2 pagodas in Bulguksa but if it's the case it would certainly give space to write about them.
