Story 17. The legendary homeland of the Turkic and Mogol (Mongol) tribes, “Arghana Kun” is “a county of the Amlog River”  Episode 1. Is Arghana Kun the “Argon River” in the upper reaches of the Amur River?  Let’s briefly review the facts we have seen so far.  Once upon a time, a great war broke out between the Tatars and the Mongols, and the Malgal army was defeated and annihilated. At that time, only Kayan and Nekuz barely survived among the Malgal (Mogol) people, and they entered the legendary place called “Ergene Kun” with their newlywed wives and a few servants.  This land is called “the homeland of all Turkic and Mongol tribes” among the Turkic peoples of Turkey and Central Asia today.  Up to now, many scholars and researchers who are interested in this “Ergene Kun” have tried to clarify where this “Ergene Kun” is and have provided empirical evidence.  However, in the efforts of Dr. Jeon Won-cheol to find the historical reality,  “Ergene Kun” is n...

  Episode 3. Causes of the Fall of the Empire The Goguryeo Empire, which had maintained peace through power as a single axis in Northeast Asia for 700 years, collapsed. Throughout history, empires have collapsed many times in world history. And there were various proximate and distant causes for their rise and fall. Before examining the collapse of the Goguryeo Empire, examining the collapse of several known empires would be interesting for those interested in history, and it would provide insight and a touchstone for correctly viewing the reality of our country or people, predicting the future, and examining the direction for survival.   The subject of examining the well-known causes of the fall of empires is, without a doubt, various studies on the fall of the Western Roman Empire. In Edward Gibbon's <The Rise and Fall of the Roman Empire>, the cause of the fall of the Roman Empire was 1). The relocation of the imperial capital by Constantine the Great. Con...

  Story 16~Episode 2. The original cause of the ‘war between the Daedaero (Tatar) and Malgal (Mogol) families’ was the return to the homeland of the ‘DaeDaero (Tatar)’ family . We learned that the ‘Tatar race’ is the ‘Daedaero family’ and that the ‘8th Khan of the Tatars, Suyunji ’ is none other than the grandson of Cheon Namsaeng 泉男生 , who defected to Tang, Cheon Hyeonjeong 泉玄靜 . He was the youngest of the three sons of ‘Cheon Heonseong’ . His official title in Tang was ‘General of the Left Army’, Gaeboksun 蓋覆順 ’. He was the main character of the “War between the Tatars and Mogol” that < Taikh-I Arba' Ulus, 四汗國 , Four Khan Countries >talks about. If so, the war between Tang and Balhae and its aftermath, which was caused by the Tang Dynasty’s policy of opposing the Heuksu Malgal, all originated from the family of Cheon Heon-seong , the eldest son of Gaesomun, Cheon Nam-saeng 泉男生 , who defected to Tang. Then, what was the original cause of the war between the “Tatar (g...

  Story 16. The lineage of ‘Daedaero Gaesomun’ and ‘Sokmalmalgal Daejoyeong’, the descendants of Jumong 朱蒙 , the founder of Goguryeo There is a very important point of debate in Korean historical circles: whether Balhae is a descendant state of Goguryeo, and the identity of Daejoyeong and Malgal, who founded Balhae, are issues that are closely related to the identity of Korean history and the identity of the Korean people. Not only the colonial view of history, but also the Joseon scholars who fell into toadyism that worshipped the dead Ming Dynasty simply viewed Balhae and the Jin Empire 大金 that emerged from the Jurchen 女眞 and the Qing Empire 大淸 that emerged from the Manchus 滿洲 as barbarians. Since they only followed the Chinese way of thinking, they viewed the world from the perspective of the Chinese, their perspective, and their worldview. Today, many people are no different from today’s Koreans who are Americanists who indiscriminately stand on the same side and view t...
