Слайд 2
Gojoseon was an ancient Korean kingdom (not to be confused with
the Joseon Dynasty)
Слайд 3
Tangun Wang - the legendary founder of Gojoseon
State (Ancient Joseon), considered the first Korean state formation. In
Korean mythology, he is the grandson of the God of heaven
Слайд 4
According to the legend, the Lord of Heaven,
Hwanin had a son, Hwanung, who descended to Baekdu
Mountain and founded the city of Shinsi.
Слайд 6
Then a bear and a tiger came to
Hwanung and said that they wanted to become people.
Hwuanung said to them that if they went in a cave and lived there for 100 days while only eating mugwort and garlic he will change them into human beings.
Слайд 8
However, about halfway through the 100 years the
tiger gave up and ran out of the cave.
On the other hand, the bear successfully restrained herself and became a beautiful woman called Ungnyeo (웅녀, 熊女). Hwanung later married Ugnyeo, and she gave birth to Dangun.

Сulture
Around 2000 BCE, a new pottery culture of
painted and chiseled design is found. These people practiced
agriculture in a settled communal life, probably organized into familial clans. Rectangular huts and increasingly larger dolmen burial sites are found throughout the peninsula. Bronze daggers and mirrors have been excavated, and there is archaeological evidence of small walled-town states in this period. Dolmens and bronze daggers found in the area are uniquely Korean and cannot be found in China.
Слайд 12
Mumun pottery
In the Mumun pottery period (1500–300 BCE), plain coarse
pottery replaced earlier comb-pattern wares, possibly as a result
of the influence of new populations migrating to Korea from Manchuria and Siberia.
This type of pottery typically has thicker walls and displays a wider variety of shapes, indicating improvements in kiln technology.
Слайд 14
Rice cultivation
Sometime around 1200 to 900 BCE, rice
cultivation spread to Korea from China and Manchuria. The
people also farmed native grains such as millet and barley, and domesticated livestock.
Слайд 16
Bronze tools
Korean bronzes contain a higher percentage of
zinc than those of the neighboring bronze cultures. Bronze
artifacts, found most frequently in burial sites, consist mainly of swords, spears, daggers, small bells, and mirrors decorated with geometric patterns.
Слайд 18
Dolmen tombs
Goindol, the dolmen tombs in Korea and
Manchuria, formed of upright stones supporting a horizontal slab,
are more numerous in Korea than in other parts of East Asia. Other new forms of burial are stone cists (underground burial chambers lined with stone) and earthenware jar coffins. The bronze objects, pottery, and jade ornaments recovered from dolmens and stone cists indicate that such tombs were reserved for the elite class.
Слайд 20
Iron culture
Around 300 BCE, iron technology was introduced
into Korea from Yan state. Iron was produced locally
in the southern part of the peninsula by the 2nd century BCE. According to Chinese accounts, iron from the lower Nakdong River in the southeast was valued throughout the peninsula and Japan.
Слайд 22
Wiman
Coming from Yan, Wiman joined the Gojoseon as
governor. He usurped the throne in 194 BC. e., overthrowing King
Chung.
Слайд 23
Wiman Joseon Dynasty
In 109 BC. e. Wu-Di, a Chinese emperor
of the Han Dynasty, launched a massive invasion of
Gojoseon in the Liao River.
Слайд 24
After a year of Gojoseon war fell, and
in southern Manchuria and the northern part of the
Korean Peninsula occurred four Chinese District:
«Lè làng» (樂 浪; Korean: Nunn),
«Xuán tú» (玄 菟; Hёndo)
«Zhēn fān» (真 番; Chinbon)
«Lín tún» (臨屯; Imdun)
