Description

The myth is about the gods, the oldest narrative ever made by mankind, but man has always been a civilization and culture based on the myths of his community. Like the Greek myth became the foundation of a Hellenistic culture. In this regard, mythology is, ironically, the ‘ past ’ of mankind and also the oldest ‘ future. ’. So, finding our own mythic identity is about understanding our civilization, our cultural roots, and also about the vision of the future of humanity. The author Kim Kingdu, who has tried to correct the distorted and distorted Korean myth by studying the Genesis myths of a people and their ancient mythology, lamented that there is no Korea's Shinhwau, whose system is properly well-failed with Japanese imperialism and Chinese supremacy, has expanded 18 years of effort into one book. The author suggests that in this book, the myth of our people is searching for its myth, breaking the limits of militarism and nationalism, putting it into all mankind's myths, presenting a vision of the future of 'concord-emantic-ego-echo.'. Giving mankind a vision of the future! Unlike the so-called ‘conspiracy-construction,’ the popular world myth is full of ‘concord - life - revolution’ and it speaks of this myth as the greatest vision of the future that humanity has to develop in the 21st century. We're gonna make a tight piece of time and space!

I met the traveler who was searching for Korean mythology and I sang a phoenix. I haven't met a book that has so neatly cleaned up our myths since I was a teenager and retired from a long career in the ministry. But I've never run to learn our own myths. The mythic figures on the back of textbooks and reference works were found in bits and pieces without any system, and they systematically organized all their genealogy, including our founding myths, our folk myths. The source, the photographs
