■ Conflicting Records — 38 topics
Countries wrote the same events down differently. Nothing is settled in advance about which side is right; the records are set side by side as they stand, with the point of difference marked.
Himiko and Empress Jingu · Whose ancestor was Dongmyeong · Baekgang, the losers and the winners · Was Imna a Japanese colony · The inscription on the Seven-Branched Sword · Where was King Muryeong born · Where the name of the Lord of Ansi came from · Where King Jun went · The Hwarang · The end of Choe Chi-won · Kaguya-hime
Where a book carries no such record, that is written down too. An absence is also a record.
■ Read aloud
Your phone reads the text aloud, so you can listen on the way to work or before sleep. It keeps reading with the screen off.
■ Book chronology
One table shows when all sixty books were written, by country, from before the Common Era to after the fourteenth century.
■ Honest notes
The translations were made in house with AI help. They are not suitable for scholarly citation. Where readings differ, the common reading is given in the body and other readings are shown alongside. Hyangga written in hyangchal are left untranslated, with the original only.
Most books are in English and Korean. A few are still Korean only, and are being filled in.
Original texts come from the open data of the Korean History Database of the National Institute of Korean History, and from Wikisource (CC BY-SA 4.0). The originals follow their source texts, so old letters no longer in use may appear.
