Travel Info Is Korea the origin of the ancient civilization 5000 years ago? Travel Tips Korean civilization is also a civilizations that developed in the first millennium BC.[16] Limited linguistic evidence suggests possible Altaic origins of these people,[17] whose northern Mongolian Steppe culture later absorbed refugees and cultural influence from northern China. Agriculture and more complex societies developed during the Mumun pottery period (c. 1500-300 BC), and the Bronze Age begins around 1000 BC, with its distinct Liaoning bronze dagger culture. An archaeologist and an agricultural specialist have suggested that rice cultivation may have reached Korea from south China in the first century AD.[18] Around 900 BC, evidence emerges of walled-city political structure and labor-intensive dolmen burial sites.[19] Source(s): wikipedia Other Travel Tips No, Egypt and Israel are older...... uhm... no, the historical consensus is that civilization originated in the fertil crescent probably between the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers, between 6 and 10 thousand years ago. Although Korean tradition refers to an ancient (myth ?) that a King Tangun was from almost that far back, it is most likely that Korean civilization dates to about 3500 years ago. Ural-Altaic tribes moved into the peninsula about that time. Tradition tells that they found an earlier people there (who were "dark and short"), but little is known for sure about them (were they related to the Ainu of Japan ??). There has been a scholar who published a book in the 1960s about the "Dong-A People" from whom most of Asia learned language and culture - he suggested these were the first Koreans, but this has not been well accepted. Ancient Korean culture and language is my hobby. |
