Continuing where we left off in the previous post, Gojoseon, ~1500 - 108 BCE. Mumun: 1500 BCE-~800 BCE Fuck. Mumun again. 1500 BCE But the window has already closed. How deflating. But what does "the window has already closed" even mean? It means that we are now able to trace Koreans back from today to an ancient past uninterrupted. A single line with no obvious gaps in between. Using Soil, Blood, Words, Stuff, Books, and Stories, we have managed to weave together a People across a span of 702,026 years, give or take a few thousand.

Buyeo in the Songhua-Liao World. Perhaps, Dongye , Okjeo , the Four (Five) Han Commanderies . Gojoseon . and Mumun . Fucking Mumun. At least from a time perspective we have considerably narrowed down the window in which we can claim Korea came from: ~1,500 BCE to ~100 BCE. Going forward from ~700,000 BCE, we got to ~1,500 BCE. Going backwards fro...
