Gojoseon

Gojoseon (c. 2333 – 108 BCE) was one of the first Korean kingdoms. It is said to have been founded by Dangun in 2333 BCE, and was the successor state to Baedalguk. Bronze age archeological evidence of Gojoseon culture is found in northern Korea and southern Manchuria. Earliest contemporaneous mentions are found in Chinese records of the 7th century BCE. By the 4th century BCE, various historical and archeological evidence shows Gojoseon was a flourishing state and a self-declared kingdom.

Its rulers used the title of Tanje, which is translated into Birch Emperor.

Samguk Yusa described Dangun as a man. The Annals of the Danguns are recorded in Gyuwon Sahwa (1675), which is described by its author as a collection of legendary rulers.
