Go-Joseon
Go-Joseon (
고조선;
古朝鮮), or
Old Korea (
2333 -
206 BC), was the first
Korean kingdom. The legend says it was founded by
Dangun in southern
Manchuria in the basins of the Liao and Taedong Rivers.
Go-Joseon was conquered by Liu Bang, and was later revived as Wiman Joseon. Some Korean records combines Wiman Joseon, Gija Joseon and the initial Go-Joseon as periods of one Go-Joseon.
