Queen Seondeok predicted a war using FLOWERS and everyone thought she was insane

When Tang China sent peony seeds as a gift, Seondeok looked at the painting and said 'these flowers have no scent' — because no bees or butterflies were drawn near them. She was right. The peonies were scentless. She basically invented botanical forensics in the 7th century. Her advisors were shook. This woman also built Cheomseongdae, the oldest surviving astronomical observatory in East Asia. Predicted eclipses, tracked stars, ran an entire kingdom during the Three Kingdoms era when everyone was trying to kill everyone. And modern historians STILL debate if she was 'competent enough.' Bro she literally read the future from a flower painting.
