I missed another one. I’m not sure where my mind has been lately, but obviously not on Korean holidays. October 3rd is Foundation Day in Korea. Legend has it the god-king, Tan-Gun, founded the Choson kingdom in 2333 BC. It just boggles my mind that most of the countries out there can trace their history back so far. It’s fascinating.

For information on Tan-gun, here is a link. Link: The Legend of Tan-Gun. I love things like this. It’s why I spent a good portion of my youth buried in Greek mythology. There is absolutely something magical about legends that can be traced back to times before written history.
