The history of Korea stretches from Lower Paleolithic times to the present. The earliest known Korean pottery dates to around 8000 BC, and the Neolithic period began before 6000 BC, followed by the Stone Age around 2500 BC. According to the Samguk Yusa and other Korean medieval-era records, the Gojoseon (Old Joseon) kingdom was founded in 2333 BC in basins of Liao river, eventually stretching from the peninsula to much of Manchuria. By the 1st Century BC, it disintegrated into many successor states.
My favorites from "KBS World"! ( It is from the public channel. You don't need Comcast or dish ) * Most of these have subtitle in "English"!!!
