In the notes to this article it says that Ha and Mintz suggest that Heo's geographical origin is uncertain and she may actually have been from Ayuthia in Thailand. From which work by Ha and Mintz is this taken? If we're talking about the kingdom of Ayutthaya in Thailand and not Ayodhya, India, we have a major historical problem. Heo is said to have come to today's Korean peninsula in 48 AD; the writing of the Samguk Sagi was completed in 1145; but the Ayutthaya kingdom was not founded until 1350. How then could the reference to Ayuta/Ayuthia/Ayodhya in a 12th-century account actually have been referring to 14th-century Ayutthaya? Why did Ha & Mintz suggest Ayutthaya specifically?

[edit] WTF??
How the hell did an Indian girl travel all the way to Korea by boat in 48CE? Also, an Indian girl having a dream of a Korean guy :O shock.. lol.. I am just kidding. But this entire story seems like a figment of imagination. --74.140.120.11 08:51, 5 October 2007 (UTC)
- Stranger things have happened. Humans are fickle in understanding past history. India was known to the Romans at the time, the Greeks before them had managed to conquer large portions of it. So, how is it hard to imagine that Korea, a nation of similar distance in the other direction, would be out of reach of India? Plus, DNA evidence from her grave seems to link her to India. I think that's pretty cool. I suppose it would be offensive to Korean culture to study her skeletal structure (especially her facial structure) for similarities to Indian skeletons from the same time. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Some user86 (talk • contribs) 15:40, 7 October 2007 (UTC)
