Then they started sharing atomic secrets.
GGG subject PING!
When Turkish soldiers got to Korea to fight in the Korean war as part of the UN contingent, they and the Koreans could speak, if haltingly.
I’m not sure why anyone would be surprised.
If you take the “1001 Tales of the Arabian Nights” (the full 17 volume Sir Richard Burton edition) and you mark out on a map where many of the stories journeyed, you will find that to get to the Land of the Djinn (which is done in several stories), you will travel across Asia, through India, China and then to the Korean Peninsula then you will across the sea to Japan where the Djinn live. I suppose that means that the Japanese are the Djinn.
And you’ll also discover that Aladdin was from China.
OF course! it all makes sense now...the Djinn are what we call Ninjas!

I hadn’t made that connection, but I’ll bet you are right.
I just finished a book on the history of Japan.
It is pretty much a tangled web, maybe even weird.
One thing that is pretty much agreed on is that the current occupants originally settled in the South and came from Korea.
Turks, Koreans, Finns, and some Baltics have linguistic similarities and if you look at Finns and Baltics, like my wife’s uncle’s wife and in laws, the physical similarities are evident.

He never says whether the Persian visited South Korea or North Korea. Could make a big difference.
Maybe a free unified Korea and free Iran will renew their friendship and live happily ever after, just like Obama planned. Oops...
If you read the “Song of Roland” (Also called Orlando Furioso), the story takes place in the time of Charlemagne. It is a companion to the King Arthur Legends. In it you will find Merlin and his lover Morgana and just about every beautiful and desired damsel is from the Orient and has Kung Fu skills. Evidently, the knights of old liked Asian women also.
What was really enlightening was that Morgan Le Fey is the Lady of the Lake and when Merlin created Excalibur he made 2 identical copies and gave one to Morgana. He told her the first one would be broken by Arthur and cast into the Lake. She was to hide the broken one and return the copy to Arthur.
In the Korean drama Empress Ki, it is mentioned that the Mongol empire in China prized women from Korea or Goryeo.
Here is the story of a Korean woman who rose through the ranks.
