Korean history - Baekje Kingdom

In 18 B.C., Baekje was founded in the Hangang River basin, emerged as the dominant kingdom of the Three Kingdom Period (5th century). It became the center of northeast Asia's economy and trade due to its important role as marine traffic route.

Furthermore, Baekje dispatched many scholars including Ah Jikgi and Wang In These scholars introduced Buddhism, the thousand-character text and Chinese literature to Japan. Their teachings helped Asuka culture - Japans first Buddhist culture in the 7th century - to flourish.

This video introduces the fascinate history of Baekje kingdom.

Koreans don't have to dream about this because the histroy belongs to them. Don't matter how chinese (by the way, Manchu, Mongol, Tibet are not chinese) try to twick the history, the histroy would never become chinese's since we have a modern day scientific technology that could examine true history.

There are too many archeological fidings and scientific support including DNA, these all support the Korean history but there aren't any to support Chinese claims except the chinese unresonable claims. As today, China has about 60+ Koguryeo tombs is because chinese illegally occupied the Korean land today and in a near future, Korean will get the land back.

@sleepybostons "Blood links between Korea and the Japanese imperial family are documented from the eighth century" - Walter Edwards, professor of Japanese studies at Tenri University in Nara

"Even the current emperor [Akihito] has said that he has Korean ancestry."

its just facts.

@freedomofmymind Why do you believe that the first 10 Japanese kings were Koreans? Just because of Korean history fiction writers? What do you mean by Koreans? Ancestors of people who live in the Korean peninsula today or people who lived in Korean peninsula? This video is graphically very well done. But it is quite inaccurate and misleading although it is a little more plausible than "Jesus Christ is a Korean."

@QueenOfClutter2009 After what you said about dog, cat, and rat meat, you just devolve into ignorant racism and hate speech. For meat, who cares? Even if it is true (not saying it is or isn't), every culture is different and should not be judged by what meat they consume. As for the rest of your ridiculous and hateful comments, I won't even touch them. Everyone who reads them knows that you're just an ignorant troll.

Wrong korean map. It is too small compared to real map.

[QueenOfClutter2009]

Too many korean trolls on the internet.

I see lot of people confuse about baekje or koguryo or silla related with Korea. People don't know these are the same people. The three kingdoms didn't happened at once but it came out from one kingdom to another. My understanding is Silla came first and then from it, Baekje then from it, Koguryo. They were came from the same family tree. Wihtout Koguryeo, there woudln't have Korea, and w/o Silla, woudln't have Koguryo. And other thing, the first 10 japanese kings were Koreans (from baekje).

I supected you're Chinese. Koreans don't eat disgusting things like Chinese do. People from outside of China documented that Chinese kill baby girls to feed the rest of families or sold to a chinese restaurant to make chinese soup. Too sickening to even talking about this and things they eat!!
