Just like the first story I have posted, the Iron Age of Korea cannot be explained
without the story of Tangun King!!
without the story of Tangun King!!
So I'll quickly go over to that.
Tangun was the first king of Korea for he established Ancient Joseon.
The history books states that Tangun ruled his empire for 1500 years and then became a mountain wizard and lived for extra 408 years which totals 1908 years!

The reason why he is so famous and loved is that he was the first Korean to establish a nation based on humanitarianism!!!
Humanitarianism means that to make people more comfortable and peaceful and he really achieved such ideal. He ruled his nation greatly and we feel that he is the person we should take as a role model. To make peace and comfort. (At least, that's what I think...)
These swords are a bit different from those of the Bronze Age. They are thinner than the bronze swords. They are called "Saehyung bronze swords" and they work better than the old ones.
And in the Iron Age, there were many decent farming equipments so the cultivation was thriving. The prehistoric men were growing domestic animals as well. And due to the weapons such as above, there were many wars.
