BRIEF HISTORY
BRIEF HISTORY
The history of human activity in Korea can be traced far into the Paleolithic
period about 500,000 years ago. The beginning of Korean history is often
dated to 2333 B.C. when King Tan-gun, a legendary figure born of the son
of Heaven and a woman from a bear-totem tribe, established the first
kingdom named Choson, literally meaning the "Land of the Morning Calm."
While the historicity of the Tan-gun myth is disputed among scholars, it is
known that ancient Korea was characterized by clan communities which
combined to form small town-states. They rose and fell so that by the first
century B.C., Three Kingdoms, Koguryo (37 B.C. - A.D. 688), Paekche
(18 B.C. - A.D. 660) and Shilla (57 B.C. - A.D. 935), had emerged on the
Korean Peninsula and part of what is now known as Manchuria.
