http://www.prkorea.com/english/textbook/history03.html

Extractions: Comment Japanese history textbooks fail to mention Gojoseon (Dan-gun Joseon), the first nation state in Korea which is believed to have been established about 2,333 B.C. Instead, these textbooks have Korean history begin with the four commanderies of the Chinese Han Dynasty. Consequently, the beginning of the Korean history is pushed forward to a much later date, and it is implied that Korea was under Chinese rule from the very beginning of its history. This is a gross distortion, which omits an entire portion of Korea¡¯s national legacy. Furthermore, Japanese history textbooks omit any reference to Korea¡¯s Bronze Age and, instead, stress the influence of Chinese culture over Korea.

This system of planning is borrowed from Chang'an, the capital of Tang Dynasty China. Nara the Left (East) City, and the Right (West) City, each of which was divided into a matrix of nine (rows) and four (columns).

Every place in the city was specified by row and column numbers in a way somewhat similar to the Cartesian coordinate system The palace site in the center of the north side of the city included the Imperial Palace and government offices. There were two official marketplaces, one each located in the Left and the Right City. Near the palace site, remains of large plots for nobles' residences have been discovered. These residences sometimes occupied several tsubo. Away from the palace site, each tsubo East Asian states of the time.

The Suicide of Socrates, 399 BC In the year 399 BC, the Greek philosopher Socrates was convicted by 500 of his fellow Athenian citizens of refusing to recognize the city's gods and of corrupting its youth. The sentence was death. The seventy-year-old was taken from the trial court to a near-by jail where the sentence would be carried out. Athenian law prescribed that death be inflicted by drinking a cup of poison hemlock. Socrates would be his own executioner. Plato, Socrates' most famous student, described the scene in the philosopher's jail cell. "The boy went out, and returned after a few moments with the man who was to administer the poison which he brought ready mixed in a cup. When Socrates saw him, he said, 'Now, good sir, you understand these things. What must I do?' 'Just drink it and walk around until your legs begin to feel heavy, then lie down. It will soon act.' With that he offered Socrates the cup. " More >>> Your ringside seat to history - from the Ancient World to the present. History through the eyes of those who lived it, presented by

Extractions: (Ancient times until the Meiji Restoration in1867) "Hanamichi", the narrow and long sub-stage unique to Kabuki that stretches from the left side of the stage through the audience to the rear of the hall. It is often the site of scenes as important as those performed on the main stage. 1) The Ancient Foundations of Modern Japan The oldest written record of road conditions in Japan appears in a Chinese history book compiled in the 3rd Century called Gishi-wajin-den. During this period, Japan was in the process of being unified by the Yamato Dynasty. Until the Meiji Restoration when Japan opened its doors to the modern nations of the West (latter part of 19th century), people traveled mainly on foot or horseback. Why wheeled traffic failed to develop in Japan as it did in Europe and China probably relates to the topography. It is a land covered by mountainous area, surrounded by sea and crisscrossed by rivers.

Extractions: Ancient history: Millet Plant Several rich Korean kingdoms grew up in the first two millennia a.d. Shilla (668-935) occupied what is now South Korea. Its kings established Buddhism as the official state religion, but Confucian scholars and ideas also entered Korea. Near the southeastern city of Kyongju stand huge artificial mounds. They are the burial places for the members of the Shilla royal dynasty and they are loaded with gold and gems, especially jade. For more information on this subject: http://violet.berkeley.edu/~korea/history.html Royal Burial Mounds Korea and China: The Korean kingdoms were influenced by Chinese trade goods and culture. Korean writing systems (4th century a.d.), architecture, political systems, religions, and even musical instruments came from China. Koreans adapted these Chinese things and made them their own. Chinese scholars had devised a kind of printing system using carved wooden blocks. Koreans took this invention one step further and created the first world's first metal moveable type in the 12th century. Adaptation of foreign things for their own use is a historical characteristic of Korean culture, even today.

Sligo - The Unheralded County Of Ireland
A county of hidden beauty, literary figures, famine and ancient history.
http://www.moytura.com/sligo.htm

Extractions: Sligo - the unheralded County of Ireland If you're travelling to Ireland, why not take a peek and see how the weather's behaving here in the West. County Sligo in north west of Ireland, with a quiet and unheralded beauty of its own, is where 50% of my roots are - this was my father's county. The coastal drive from Sligo town into Donegal is magnificent and from the shore we can see a connection with North America. Coney Island is just off the coast at Rosses Point and it is from here that the more famous Coney Island took its name. My brother has recently re-opened our Sligo links by buying a holiday home in Rosses Point and many a good day's fun is spent sea-angling on his boat. When I started this page I thought I would have little to write about, instead it seems to have turned out to be the longest page of the whole journey. I came across a great book by Edward Laxton called "The Famine Ships - the Irish Exodus to America 1846-51" which listed the names and departure points of Irish emigrants during the famine years of 1845-1849. It caught my interest and I included the information in this page that was gleaned from it.

http://www.eajs.org/Organisation/Co-operatingNetworks/PJH.html

Extractions: Premodern Japanese History Network (PJH) PJH is a loose network of Japanologists / historians concerned with pre-modern Japanese history. "Premodern" in this context means vaguely the time from the beginnings of "Japanese" history up to Bakumatsu period. We feel no necessity to restrict the field of historical study to certain approaches, disciplines or methods within our network. Our network intends to improve communication between European specialists in pre-modern Japanese history as well as to establish more vivid cooperation with Japanese researchers and research groups. One aim on the long run would be a forum where experts of pre-modern Japanese history discuss with experts of pre-modern European history or, more generally, historians of various fields of study interested in comparative history. The event that stimulated some people to think about a pre-modernists' network was a conference on mediaeval Japanese history which took place in Bonn in 1990. In 1992 an international symposium on Yamato and archaeology was organised by Maria Shinoto, also in Bonn. The Leiden Group of Japanese Studies (ERASMUS scheme) arranged a workshop on "Ideology and Institution in Japanese History" in 1993 in Leiden with a strong group of participants who presented papers on pre-modern history. At the EAJS Conference in Copenhagen in 1994 a considerable number of papers on pre-modern Japanese history was concentrated in the History, Politics and Foreign Relations section.
