The Gyeogam Yurok (격암유록), also known as the Namsago Prophecy (남사고예언서), is a book allegedly written by the Joseon scholar Nam Sago (1509–1571) who styled himself "Gyeogam".

Author[]

Nam Sago (1509–1571) was a scholar of the Joseon period of Korea,^[1] who styled himself Gyeogam. He was well versed in mechanics, feng shui, astronomy, fighting, and physiognomy. He was known for poems and prose with prophetic intents.^[2]

Book[]

In 1977, Lee Do-eun^{[clarification needed]} published a book titled Gyeogam Yurok (Korean: 격암유록) containing a set of prophecies attributed to Nam Sago.^[3]

These prophecies supposedly unveiled the mysteries of 450 years of Korean history, forecasting many events of the past such as the Imjin War, the Donghak Peasant Revolution, and the Korea-Japan Consolidation Treaty, as well as the liberation and division of the Korean Peninsula, the Korean War, the 4·19 Revolution and the 5·16 military coup d'état.^{[4][unreliable source?]}

Kim Hawon in 1995^[5] criticized the book as a forgery; many of its elements have been branded as anachronisms.^{[4][unreliable source?]}

In any case, a copy of this book is kept in the National Library of Korea.^{[4][unreliable source?]}
