-# Unforgotten sisters investigation
-From an unfortunate need to investigate fictional or baseless claims about Queen Seondeok/Cheomseongdae being presented as fact in Gabriella Bernardi's The Unforgotten Sisters: Astronomers and Scientists before Caroline Herschel (2016 Springer Praxis)
-## Cosmos Magazine article
-[The unforgotten sisters: Sonduk, the astronomer queen](https://cosmosmagazine.com/space/the-unforgotten-sisters-sonduk-the-astronomer-queen/) Archived version https://archive.is/j7d1n
-  * Same problems as the book chapter on Seondeok in presenting details from Sheri Holman's novel Sondok: Princess of the Moon and Stars (2002 Scholastic) without credit to Holman or adequate notice of the fictional content
-## Fediverse thread
-[Thread on writeout.ink](https://writeout.ink/@ljwrites/113164984973469900)
-## Women of Korea as a possible source
-  * Yung-Chung Kim, Women of Korea: A History from Ancient Times to 1945 2nd ed. (1977)
-    * Index of Queen Sonduk references: 23, 24, 27, 42 (Apparent mistake for 25, 26, 27, 42)
-This book does not appear to have any mention of Seondeok's passion for astronomy, her having a Tang ambassador as a tutor, etc. See [[wok_transcript]].
-## Sŏndŏk: Princess of the Moon and Stars
-  * Sheri Holman, Sŏndŏk: Princess of the Moon and Stars (2002)
-This middle-grade novel has many striking similarities with the assertions about Seondeok that I could not trace to any other non-fiction source, including passages with very similar wording.
-See [[poms_comparison]].
