Got to tell folks about the best history podcast I’ve followed:”The History of China”.
Taught me a lot about a history I didn’t know prior to listening
Did they check to bottom of those to see if they say “Made in China”?
The Yukut River Valley is probably the origin or the Korean peoples 5,000 years ago, Uniquely positioned to the Bering Straights migration routes into North American, many eventually arrived the Chillicothe, Ohio and the Korean Penunsila where North and South are today.
The Shamanistic origins of Korea originate from the Siberian and Yukut areas, passing over from the Beriauts and Yakuts peoples. Unique is that Korean Shamanism is relegated almost exclusively to women, accompanied by jealous spirits who sicken or eventually kill all those residing with the woman aflicted with the spirit.
It is truly fasinating to follow the history of a people, and some luck is involved in finding far-flung places of abode.
Korean society was set up on the Chinese Confusion model, incorporating Shamanism, Taoism, Buddism, and fieldity to parents, the oldest male a figurehead in charge of the country or fammily unit; however, in real application the pecking order most likely resides with the old grandmother behind the scenes or seat of power.
A Korean Studies Degree and an Asian Studies Degree, most o9f all in residence in Korea, I had four years immersion to the degree a soldier could have, and then followed by two additional years where I finished the degrees. No study of Asian cultures can be complete with studying before WWII and after 1960s, focuesed on the Confusion, Buddishm, Shamanistic and Toaist traditions for the Chinese and Koreans, but Jaapn adds Shintoism and Samaria, the Indians of India a doze of Buddist, sprinkling of Islam, but more heavily their 1000 Gods Religion.
Korea, China and Japan are the places I would live (or remote tribal Russian primative aeras). It would be cool to study dino’s and shamans close to the untouched places of discovery.
