Cold War monster

 The constant desire to recapture Soviet territories or countries suitable for the United States eventually creates a monster that cruises 24,000 meters at Mach 3.   The monster's name was sr71, originally rs71, but it became sr because the then president misrepresented the name of the aircraft. When flying from 24000 meters to Mach 3, the temperature of the aircraft rises to 330-650 degrees. Eventually, all of the gas is made of titanium to cover this temperature and speed, which is still considered a great technology.The interesting thing is that the titanium used to make this was imported from the Soviet Union (which laid the foundation for Stealth's theory) because it was a monster created by the unusual situation of the Cold War, and it was soon retired after the Cold War. Now that I don't have to pay high operating expenses... However, I think the aircraft itself will remain in aviation technology history. The first stealthy consideration, titanium gas, velocity, elevation record, technical achievements to fly under extreme conditions... A book called Skunk Works written by Ben Rich shows how hard it took to make this monster. That's very interesting, too.

The Greatness of Westerners Series 7, Train Inventions and Travel Shock

 It is true that railroads began to be built around Britain, France, Germany, and the United States in the 1830s. At the time, a French farmer said, "Monsters are afraid of destroying crops," and in 1842 German poet Heine, who lived in Paris, said, "What a wonderful thing...... in a few hours O'Rean... now that the railway is connected to Belgium and Germany, the waves of the North Sea hit my door!" I think I can hear the sound and smell of the trees in the German forest!" Railways began to become sophisticated in the 1850s, and French railway stations are almost museum-class. French impressionist painters also left pictures. Cars were invented only in 1885 by German Benz and Daimler, and were not put into practical use until the 20th century, and trains were the true 19th century speed shock... ...that exceeded the horses and wagons that had been used for thousands of years. In fact, trains and wagons were used together in the nineteenth century. Because trains have a strong character of group transportation. After the invention of the automobile, the London Wagon Association and others devised a variety of cheap regulatory measures (such as marking with flags when moving) but eventually disappeared into history. Britain's colony India is the most well-maintained railway in Asia. In order to eat... ...the construction of the Trans-American Railway in the mid-19th century was the beginning of today's great empire America. There was the sacrifice of black and Chinese low-wage workers. In the early 20th century, Russia also built a Trans-Siberian railway, and the Russo-Japanese War broke out. If it had been completed, the Japanese army would have been devastated. In order to protect Manchuria's railways, the Japanese army also maintained the Kanto army, handed over the Kando to China, and was so important that it caused the Manchurian Incident. The Japanese are particularly fond of trains... ...which seems to have nothing to do with their collectiveist and stabilizing tendencies. If you watch the movie "Railway Garden," In the early 60s, Japan completed the first bullet train, regardless of the reputation that trains were out of date. I think we should respect these Japanese kkang tea ceremony. If you look at the mid-19th century records, you can see the shock of "shivering in the cold in a third-class carriage... ...but the amazing speed you see... ...the world passing through a car window... ...when you get off the station... ...you have to go to work the next Sunday." The joys of the Industrial Revolution that even poor workers can taste... ...At that time, the United States and Western Europe were the first in human history to create the pleasures of ordinary humans, the "middle class. It used to be only possible for emperors and nobles. National education, elimination of illiteracy, Disneyland's early models... ...have shown signs of this since the late 19th century, and since the 1880s, poor people have the right to vote, or power. Focusing on U.S. and British producers. Of course, the pitiful slums and exploitation of the Third World are out of the question. Japan and China started in the 187s and 1980s, and we started in 1900. Siang, we're always late... ...in fact, we're late for work compared to the West. Seventy years late. ====================================================The steam locomotive, which was used by people and horses to use steam instead of trains on the Peron Gloucester track, was the starting point of George Stephenson's Locomotion, which was used in 1825 when the world's first railway between Stockton and Darlington was opened. Actually, that's not the case. It was a man named "Richard Travisick" who invented the world's first locomotive running on tracks by inventing a high-pressure steam engine that generates as much power as possible by making the huge steam engine made by James Watt (1736-1819) small and light. Travisick, who worked in Cornwall's tin mine, selected only the essential parts of Watt's steam engine, which felt dangerous to use, and built the first steam locomotive "Penida Arran" on February 21, 1804. At that time, the track was an "L" shaped track that drove at a distance of 16 km at 8 km/h to pull a carriage. However, the trajectory that could not withstand the weight of the locomotive was damaged and could not be put into practical use. It was a great driving test in that it was the first steam locomotive ever. Funny story is that the engineer couldn't get on this train, so he ran next to the locomotive. A few years later, in 1808, Travisik installed a circular railroad in London's Yuusuton Square to attempt a great battle for steam locomotives, and named the newly built locomotives "Catch me who can catch up with me." Such a long name was the desperate wish of "Traffic" to prove that steam locomotives can run at 19 km/h, so they are superior to horses when competing for long distances. However, the great invention of "Trafficic" was not immediately popularized because of heavy rain, and it was tilted and derailed because it could not bear the weight of a locomotive that was only five tons long. How should I express this resentment of the inventor? It's something we should be sad about together. Since then, Stevenson's locomotive has been heavier than six tons, but in those days, the technology to make iron has developed, allowing it to build a strong orbit from the beginning. Travisick, who died without wealth or honor, is little known in Britain, but his steam locomotive has certainly made a big difference in modern science and technology civilization. And in 1814, George Stephenson produced the Buruhel, which had the same structure and principles as the Padwenggbiri created by William Hedley in 1813. This was the ninth locomotive in the world. The exhaust noise was severe and it was not superior to the previous locomotive. In 1825, 21 years after the first steam locomotive appeared, a public railway that anyone could use for money was first born as a steam locomotive. The "George Stevenson" steam locomotive Locomoshon" was operated on the Stockton-Darlington railway, which was built from a coal mine to a port in northeastern England port. This section will be the world's first railway to operate.

Alexander Gwanggaeto Ho-tae of Northeast Asia 1. Wind on the western border. (8)

 Moduru and Busabi were surprised to hear that Prince Damdeok proposed a martial arts competition. No, I came to trust Prince Damdeok more than that. In a gloomy atmosphere, he lamented the declining momentum and soothed his anger. However, the young Damdeok suggested measures to overcome it. If you gather in Liaodongseong and hold a martial arts competition, it will work in many ways. First of all, it helped boost the morale of the people and soldiers. It also showed the spirit of the country without regret, encouraging unity and unity. However, more than anything else, it was possible to put effective pressure on Goguryeo by showing off its power over its future. It was a powerful way to unite punishment for the latter with victory. On the way to the tavern, there were many people who seemed to have practiced martial arts. Soldiers as well as warriors from nearby ships appeared to have revealed their faces to Liaodongseong Fortress. Many businessmen who wanted to do business with them also gathered. All of them entered the bar with a happy face. The inn was already bustling with people who had drunk a lot of rice wine. In the meantime, the hostess who saw them already pretended to know. "Eat inside," the hostess guided them to the place where they had been enshrined, and they followed the hostess into the room. "Just a moment, please. I'll get them ready in a minute." The landlady had already settled down before they had settled down. While I was waiting for the table to come out, I could hear the voices of people drinking outside clearly. "I guess this martial arts competition isn't an ordinary competition." "That's what it is." "It's not easy to get ready." "Of course it is." Not only the military but also the martial arts participate nationwide..." "That's right." I heard that Ko Young-bang, the famous master of swordsmanship, will also participate this time." "Then the winner of the martial arts competition will be decided." "Hehe, I don't know." Woo Pae-sayoung, a master of double swords, will also participate, but even if he doesn't know, he's very likely to win." "No one can guarantee that even the military can participate." If Dudoru Jwawi and Busabi Wisa participate... ...Dudoru smiled as his eyes met. The main topic here was also about martial arts competitions. The Goguryeo people had a strong spirit of commerce. Goguryeo, which is located at the top of the Dongi Baedal Minjok, often confronted with ethnic minorities, and it was important to prevent foreign invasion. Therefore, although they did not ignore literature, they put more importance on martial arts. National competitions and hunting competitions played a major role in cultivating the spirit of commerce and dance nationwide. Goguryeo people routinely embodied a brave and enterprising spirit through national and hunting competitions. The National Sports Festival is a big event where talented people from all over the country compete for literary and martial arts. The preliminary round was selected at Gyeongdang in the prefecture and hometown, where they had to pass the examination of the jurisdiction again to compete. There were also various sports such as archery, swordplay, spearplay, horsemanship, and watermelon. The final round was also held to select the winner of each category, but the final round was also held to win the entire event. When he became a manor at a national competition, he received a government rank and a government post from then on, and a suitable combination was given. In addition, either prefecture or province was treated as Mak Bin. However, this national competition was held in October every year when people from all over the country gathered to perform ancestral rites on the eastern riverside of the country, or when they held ancestral rites due to a series of military events. This is because the history of martial arts competitions, such as national competitions, dates back to the implementation of Jecheon consciousness. Jecheon consciousness is a comprehensive art in the state of unification of Winshi, and a certain period of time is set every year to hold a memorial service to heaven. At this time, he prayed for abundance and well-being while singing to God. An offering was usually made by bringing in God, entertaining him, praying, and sending him away. In order to bring in God, the ritual hall is purified, and at this time, a ritual to drive out evil spirits was carried out, and weapons such as spears and swords were used for this ritual. Various games and banquets are held in the process of God's enjoyment of God, and the martial arts of this time, which also competed with strength and skill, are combined with religious meaning and competition of skills. Therefore, where Sodo stood, there were Osangjido of Chung, Hyo, In, Yong, and Shin, and next to Sodo, a Gyeongdang must be built, and six examples of reading, practice, skirt, gaak, kumak, and sword art were taught to unmarried children. In addition, in a game held in Sodo, scholars were selected to improve their academic, swordsmanship, archery, horseback riding, and watermelon skills and travel throughout the mountains and streams. The martial arts competition had such a deep origin and was deeply located in the lives of Goguryeo people. The martial arts competition itself was a big national festival and a national project. However, Prince Damdeok did not care about this at all and boldly suggested that the festival should be held in a large scale to boost the atmosphere of the festival that successfully ended the punishment of later generations. All of them and the stewardess were energized. They wanted to demonstrate Goguryeo's spirit through martial arts competitions. As they wished, the implementation of the martial arts competition made the fluctuation of life at once. "You must have something good going on." Jin-cho came into the room with a statue of the Lord. I said this while looking at their happy faces. Jincho was a 19-year-old girl with a slim face and a deep innocent image. She tried to hide her shyness with a fearless look. Jincho was also the mistress's adopted daughter. The hostess seems to want Jincho and Busabi to do well, so she seems to have been told to do so. "It's a good thing,"" Moduru exclaimed excitedly, leaving Jincho. Busabi did not tell Da Lu about his feelings for Jincho, but Da Lu knew that they felt affection for each other. Perhaps their similar experiences and situations brought them closer together. Like Busabi, a girl named Jincho lost all her family and became an orphan during the invasion of Khitan. She was twelve at that time. The invading army of Khitan invaded the town where the reef lived. They slaughtered the rebellious men on the spot, and tried to lead the women away. She was almost taken to the Khitan army, but her parents and Olavi finally stopped her. She managed to escape by hiding herself, but her parents and Orabi could not escape the killing of the Khitan army. She lost all her family and became an orphan and wandered around the world for some time. Then, I came to the tavern of Liaodongseong and met the mistress. The landlady felt sorry for the young Jindcho, and she was also single, so she took him as her adopted daughter in the spirit of relying on each other. So I have been living here in the tavern helping my foster mother. Jincho was about the same age as Busabi's sister. Busavi adored his sister. Perhaps that's why he was very careful about the beginning. She followed the adverb fee like her own brother. Even though I hadn't met him a few times, I became closer, and it naturally turned into a love affair. Source: Jeong Il-ho, Heavenly Kingdom, and Daeguryeo.

War between Northern Wei and Baekje

 From 304 to 439 A.D., 16 countries rose and collapsed from each other in northern China, and the chaos of relocation pitches continued. Finally, at the end of this chaotic period, a powerful dynasty was born that unified northern China, a country called Bukwi founded by the Takbal scholars. The Northern Wei conquered the northern part of China by subduing several northern nomadic countries that existed in northern China until 439, when there was a small kingdom called Namje in southern China. In addition, the autonomous Baekje Army, which Baekje colonized, was established in Shandong Province and Habuk Province. In 435, King Jangsu of Goguryeo removed King Punghong, who had fled to China, at the request of the Wei Dynasty, and peace with Goguryeo lasted for a long time, so there was no need to worry about the background. Moreover, at that time, Northern Wei and Goguryeo formed the Northern Alliance, while Baekje, Namje, and Japanese formed the Southern Alliance, respectively. Under these circumstances, in 488, the Northern Wei invaded the Baekje colonial territory of the Jungwon Continent, and Baekje and Namje formed a coalition to repel the invasion forces of the Northern Wei. "The Northern Wei sent troops to attack Baekje, but was defeated by Baekje. Baekje has occupied the second division of Yoseo and Jinpyeong since the Qin Dynasty. By referring to the Baekje colony inside China by Yoseo and Jinpyeong 2nd Army, it was clear that the place where the North Wei had attacked was Baekje colony in Habukseong district. "In the 10th year of King Dongseong's reign, Wei sent soldiers to attack us, but they were defeated by us." (Three Kingdoms History of Baekje) In mainland China, various ethnic groups have invaded and engaged in tangled historical activities since ancient times. King Dongseong, the 24th king of Baekje, ended the first war against the Northern Wei in 488 and took the following personnel measures to notify Namje. "General Gunwi's Gwangyang Taesu and Jangsa, Godal, was General Yongyang Taesu's Daebang Taesu, General Gunwi's Joseon Taesu's Gunwi's General Yangmu's "Gwangneung Taesu" and General Sunwi's General."[Namjeseo 58 volumes, Dongnamjeon Baekje Gukjo] This record was included in the diplomatic documents sent by Baekje to Namje and was recorded in Namje's historical book and handed down today. Daebanggun, where Daebangtaesu was appointed, refers to Daebanggoji, the ancient land of Baekje, that is, this is Oebaekje. Gwangyang-gun refers to the area near the downstream entrance of Yangtze River. Gwangyang-gun is a Sanggok region located in northeastern Beijing. Cheonghae is now the Imneun and Changeup regions of the Shandong Peninsula. In other words, he promoted the ranks of the armed men who established distinguished services in the war against the Wei Dynasty and appointed them as Taesu of Baekje's territory on the Jungwon continent for their contribution.  Wei, who was defeated by Baekje and Namje Allied Forces in 488, felt a great threat to the Allied counterattack that began in New Year's Day in 489, and in August of that year, Gojo's envoy Hyeongsan and Hu Yeongso were sent to Namje's Sejo and Sosaek. The Northern Wei's request for peace against Namje was a preparation to drive out Baekje forces in the Habukseong district. Now, Gojo of the Northern Wei, who judged that the alliance between Baekje and Namje had collapsed, has mobilized hundreds of thousands of troops to attack Baekje forces in Habukseong. 58 volumes of Namjeseo record the situation at that time as follows. "At this time, the Orangkae of the Wei Dynasty (and) fired hundreds of thousands of cavalry and attacked Baekje and entered the precincts. King Baekje's "Moda" dispatched the general judicial name, Chansuryu, Haeryegon, and Mokganna. They led the Baekje army and attacked the Orangkae soldiers of the Wei Dynasty and defeated them."(時歲 魏虜又發騎數十萬, 攻百濟入其界, 牟大遣將沙法名, 贊首流, 解禮昆, 木干那. Dr. Kim Sang-ki said, "About Baekje's Yoseogyeong," In the third book of Baeksan Hakbo, the invasion of Wei in 490 is believed to be against the Yoseo area in the continent of Baekje. The war situation in 490 is also described in the diplomatic documents of 495 sent by Baekje to the South. "In the last five years, the Northern Wei came in with no war, and God sent a judicial name, led the army, and struck back in the night like lightning, and the Murderer panicked and collapsed, chasing the fleeing enemy. His body was covered in the field and his blood turned red."" {去庚午年, 獫狁(북위 지칭)弗悛, 擧兵深逼. 臣遣沙法名等, 領軍逆討, 宵襲霆擊. 匈梨張惶, 崩若海蕩. 乘奔追斬, 僵屍丹野. 由是嶊銳氣, 鯨暴韜凶, 今邦宇謐靜.} This record distorts that King Dongseong of Baekje gave a new name to the king of Namje, a small kingdom with only 24 years of life, by the arrogant handwriting of Chinese historians under the Chunchu Pilbeop, and it is certainly an honor of Baekje. Since King Sejo's pro-government policy is different from the previous foreign policy of the South Korean regime, it quickly sparked a lot of opposition in the country.  When King Sejo died in 492, his son, So So-eop, succeeded the throne, but 11 months after his enthronement, Soran, King So-eop's younger brother, So-so-eop, was established as King So-eop, and three months later, he became King So-eop. The Gojo of the Northern Wei, who lost the war in 490 and was defeated by Baekje's forces, moved the capital from Pyeongseong to Nakyang, far from Baekje's continental colony (493). Here, Pyeongseong refers to Daedong-si, Sanseo Province, west of Takrok, and also did not cross the Taehaeng Mountains. It was transferred by advancing southward to Nakyang along the Taewon Basin. The Sandong Peninsula and Jenam area occupied by Baekje will be held by Baekje for more than 70 years until the regiment of Bukje. Wei, who moved the capital to Nakyang and reorganized the battle line, requisitioned a large army in December 494 and divided the units of General Jeongnam Seoljindo, General Yuchang, Seojusa Temple Wonyeon, and General Pyeongnam Yujo into four directions. In Namje-gun, about 3,000 county residents, including Dongman, a lord's own company, became prisoners of the Northern Wei army. The Northern Wei army, which gained momentum, even appeared in "Jong-ri," a battle area where Emperor Gojo directly fought, two months after the opening of the war. However, due to the counterattack of the Baekje Horseback Corps, the situation was reversed, and Gojo was driven away from Jong-ri under the guard of the SS, and Pungtan, a general of the Northern Wei, was killed, and eventually the Northern Wei army retreated. After that, the Northern Wei again mobilized 200,000 troops to attack Baekje and Namje in 497, but failed, and in 498, it started another war, but was also defeated by the Baekje and Namje Allied Forces. The Northern Wei, which fought as many as five major wars in 10 years from 488 to 498, completely lost the Jenam and Reclaimed Areas to Baekje and Namje, resulting in financial bankruptcy, and eventually reduced all expenses of the royal family and court by half and reduced 1/3 of the Guard.{魏書 卷7 高祖紀下 太和22年紀 '后之私府 便可損半 六宮嬪御 五服男女 常恤恒供 亦令減半 在戎之親 三分省一'} However, the war between Baekje and Northern Wei did not weaken only the defeated country, Northern Wei. The long war of conquest led to the development of salt fields within Baekje. The young hero, Dong Seong, was full of pride as he was defeated five times in 10 years by North Wei, China's strongest power of the time. Therefore, in 500 years, he built a luxurious new palace called Imryugak, which was over five lengths high, dug a pond in the palace, raised strange birds, and lived drunk on beautiful women. The late Lim Seung-guk, a former professor at Myongji University, claimed that the tomb of King Dongseong of Baekje is located in Cheongdo, Shandong Province. Accordingly, it is estimated that the location of the impregnation angle is also in Shandong Province. As this happened, the indigenous Ho people of Gomnaru, including Baekga, Wisa Jwapyeong and Karim Seongju, begged King Dongseong to be faithful to the internal affairs, but rather, it provoked the anger of King Dongseong, who was immersed in the luxurious life of Imryugak. Then, Baekga conspired to kill Dongseong the Great in December 501. As a result, King Dongseong of Baekje, a powerful country in Northeast Asia that dominated the east coast of China and expanded its power in the Jungwon continent, will end after 23 years of reign at the age of 37.

The Forgotten History of the Korean People

 The Korean people originally originated from the Vega star system and migrated to Earth, Mars, and Venus two million years ago. The underwater mammals that lived on the third planet of water orbiting the Weaver's Star evolved to become human beings. Therefore, there is no such thing as a true fossil of human evolution on Earth. If so, it will remain in the Vega star system. As such, the existence of our human race proves the existence of aliens. This is because some people have migrated to other solar systems than this one, and others will still live in the Vega star system. In the end, people who migrated to the Vega star system or other star systems live in this galaxy, pioneering various civilizations. Of course, there are intelligent creatures in the form of animals other than humans. The number is unimaginable. It can be seen that there are as many types of intelligently evolved creatures as there are various animals on our planet. There have been many wars between different looking beings. Especially between humans and reptile aliens. That's why we instinctively hate reptiles. Our genes and souls still have memories of the war in the past. In the process of migrating to other star systems, humans collided with reptile aliens, and to counter this, all humans who migrated to other star systems, centered on the Vega Star System, built a united front together. In this way, the Galaxy Union was established, and at first, it was a human-centered association based in the Vega Star System. Later, however, it joined forces with other forms of intellectual life and became a larger organization. To this day, humans account for a little less than half of the galaxy's union. In any case, the Union of galaxies was first established about four million years ago, and combat fleets and fighting planets were built at that time. Since then, mankind, which migrated from the Vega Star system about two million years ago, has established settlements on Earth, Venus, and Mars. In the case of the Earth, it lived in the Arctic with a place called Hyvonia. At this time, the whole earth was subtropical. And about a million years ago, reptile aliens destroyed all three migration areas of mankind. This was originally a war that continued in the Vega Star system and other star systems, and in the end, the flames of the war went crazy to this solar system. The Earth's ecosystem survived, but Mars and Venus were almost ruined. Later, reptile aliens took over the solar system and based the planet Maldeck (now the asteroid belt). That's because the environment of the Maldives was similar to their home planets. The Vega Star System-based Union of Light galaxies has been told that their colleagues who migrated to some solar system have been killed by reptile aliens. The Galactic Union's Defense Commission, along with a combat fleet, entered a combat planet about three times the size of the Earth through Stargate outside the solar system to restore the solar system again. It is an unfortunate battle planet named Nibiru, which was later seized by rebels from the Pleiades star system and threatened the Earth's people. In any case, a fierce battle broke out between the reptile alien fleet and the galactic alliance fleet, centered on Maldeck. Planets and satellites in the solar system also suffered considerable physical damage in the meantime. As a result, the war ended when Maldeck exploded with the main gun fired by a combat planet. However, during a close battle between the Galactic Union fleet and the so-called Maldives, Uranus tilted its axis and Pluto, originally Neptune's satellite, fell out of its orbit. This war has left our solar system in a mess. Originally, Maldeck had five satellites, one of which was an artificial celestial body made for military purposes to protect Maldeck. However, the Maldeck exploded by a combat planet, and the remnants of the planet formed an asteroid belt. Some of the debris has resulted in the formation of bands of other planets, such as Jupiter and Saturn, or satellites. The five Maldeck satellites were also bounced off, exploded, and became satellites on other planets. And one of the Mardek satellites mentioned earlier, which was an artificial celestial body, was later towed away by the Atlantis and became a satellite of the Earth. It's the moon now. And even after this war, the Galactic Union kept the fighting planet in its outermost orbit around the sun in case reptiles invaded the solar system again. In this way, after the solar system was transferred back to mankind, a second human migration site was established on Earth. When the first migration site was built on Earth two million years ago, it migrated from the Vega Star System. However, at this time, humans who migrated to other star systems migrated back to Earth, so people with slightly different skin colors and appearances gathered together due to the influence of other stars. This is why there are many races on Earth now. Different races have different origins. Later, after the Great Flood, genetic mutations occurred, slightly different from their original appearance. For example, in the case of black people, after the Great Flood, their skin color was blue before they mutated. In any case, about 900,000 years ago the Lemurian Empire was established in what is now the Pacific Ocean. The Atlantis Empire was separated from the Lemurian Empire about 450,000 years ago. But the Atlantis wanted to destroy Remuria and take control of the Earth. As a result, the Atlantis used two small moons originally owned by the Earth to destroy the Lemurian Empire. Using spacecraft (before the Great Flood), humans also had spacecraft. We needed a spacecraft to migrate from the Vega star system to Earth.) After bringing the moon closer to Earth, we destroyed it with a kind of particle beam, inducing the pieces to fall only into the Remurian Empire. The consequences of the act were, of course, terrible. The gas layer under the Lemurian continent collapsed and the Lemurian continent sank into the sea. Thus the Lemurian continent collapsed 25000 years ago, but the people of the Lemurian Empire, who survived, continued to resist the Atlantis Empire for revenge. At that time, there was a double layer of ice in the atmosphere that blocked harmful rays from space and kept the entire planet in a subtropical climate. Because it was ice, it had the effect of making the stars in the night sky look big. In any case, these two forces tried to destroy each other in a great flood by collapsing the ice curtain over the other country. Eventually, the two forces chose the strategy of intercepting the airborne crystalline temples needed to maintain the ice shield in the atmosphere almost simultaneously, and when the temples were destroyed, the ice shield in both regions cracked and eventually collapsed. Thus, a great flood occurred 13,000 years ago, and one of the ice sheets disappeared. Thousands of years later, another great flood occurred, and this second one is the Great Flood of the Bible. Those who survived the two major floods gradually forgot their memories of the pre-flood and came to this day. The collapse of the ice shield resulted in a major flood as well as a tilt of the Earth's rotation axis, reducing the lifespan of humans from thousands to decades. Our relatives, the Union of Mankind, observed two major floods on Earth, and decided to watch them until they overcame the Karma, believing that this was their own karma. Human beings, who lost the egos of civilization developed after the Great Flood and had their lives reduced, had to start over as we know them, either primitive or beastly. Humanity had to rebuild from nothing to nothing, and the history since then has been the same as we have been through. However, after the great flood, evil aliens came to help the people of Earth rebuild civilization, and these are the so-called Anunnaki. These traitors occupied Nibiru, once the fighting planet of the Union of galaxies, and made it their home, and ruled over the people of Earth and made themselves gods. The Anunnaki gradually led the people of Earth to forget that they once had a highly developed civilization called Remuria and Atlantis, and that they were originally beings who migrated from other star systems to Earth. and he chose among the people of the earth who swore their allegiance to them as his heart's blessing. These Anunnaki's men gradually reigned over the rest of the earth, and their descendants became kings and continued to inherit various powers. And this hereditary succession continues to this day. Governments in each country are just their puppets. All wars in human history since the fall of Atlantis were deliberately induced by them. Examples include the American Civil War, the Great Depression, and World War I and II. They accumulated wealth through war and strengthened their power base. And people all over the world have become economic slaves of these wicked humans. People's efforts have been made to overcome this situation. The fruit of that effort is four people. However, the secret government was well aware that Nessara's announcement would return economic and political freedom to the people and, conversely, force them to step down from power. So the secret government had to destroy parts of the World Trade Center and the Pentagon, where the Nessara publication was needed to prevent it. This is the truth of the 9/11 terrorist attacks, but the details of this will be revealed after the publication of Nessara. For your information, NESARA stands for the National Economic Security and Reform Act. In any case, after a long time, it has already been 13,000 years since the fall of the Atlantis Empire, and it is time for the people of Earth to regain their old memories and return to the Union of galaxies. For your information, all planets are empty inside and have an inner sun in the center of the planet. And there are entrances to the North and South Poles to the inner world. Some of the people who survived the sinking of the Remurian continent have fled to the inner world of the Earth and are still living there.

Agalta, the capital of the world inside the Earth, is located under Tibet. Also, when it comes to the moon, the Earth has been without it for a while since the moons that were originally on Earth disappeared. In order to balance energy, the Atlantis took the Maltese satellites that roamed the solar system and made them the moon of the Earth. Due to the influence of this month, the menstrual cycle has changed from once a year to once a month. It is very unfortunate for women. -_-; The Earth's moon, originally a Maldives satellite, is an artificial celestial body and is different from ordinary planets. It seems empty inside, but there is a round frame made of titanium alloy just below the surface. Venus and Mars have lost much of their ecosystems due to the invasion of reptile aliens a million years ago, but those who saved their lives have been hiding inside the planet and have continued to live, and the surface is also recently being restored. The restoration work also includes the restoration of planets that were inside Mercury and completely destroyed like the Maldives. Once upon a time, Venus and Mars had decided not to be restored for a while to remember the history of the terrible war at that time. The remains of human-faced rocks and pyramids on Mars are a kind of monument built to mourn those who died in the war. The ruins of Mars and its remains are sad relics of past space wars. Speaking of pyramids, the pyramids of Egypt are the heritage of ancient civilizations that existed there even before the country of Egypt was there. In the case of the Sphinx, it was built 11000 years ago and has a cavity underground. In the cavity, there is a room with the history of ancient Remuria and Atlantis. In addition to this, there are many other pyramids around the world made by people known as Tote or Tefti. The Galactic Union Fleet has recently triple-deployed millions of fleets in the solar system, awaiting official reunification with the Earth's people, and is also waiting in the Earth's atmosphere for observation. In addition, a combat planet named Nibiru, once the home of Anunnaki and terrorized mankind, returned to the Galactic Union in the mid-1990s when Anunnaki joined the Galactic Union. The Galactic Union is bringing the fighting planet closer to Earth to warn the secret government of the Earth. Maybe next year, Nibiru will pass near the Earth. You can't see it if it's clocking. Nibiru is an original planet-modified spacecraft that can be clocked and has many battleships inside. Often just releasing the clocking can give the Earth's secret government a frightening sight. The technology obtained by the secret government through negotiations with Gray cannot compete with these planet-class battleships. For your information, the Roswell incident was the fall of several Zeta Reticuli reconnaissance ships due to the influence of space weapons secretly being developed by the secret government at the time. The Zeta Reticulians, who thought the Earth people had shot down their unarmed reconnaissance aircraft, tried to devastate the Earth. Rather, the Earth's secret government used this as an opportunity to negotiate, and instead of allowing the Earth's people to be captured and tested to their fullest extent, it was to transfer their skills to them. The Zeta Reticulians responded to the negotiations, and instead of being dragged away and subjected to biological experiments, the Earth's secret government received advanced technologies such as flying saucers. At this time, the Zeta Reticulians had reproductive problems and were studying ways to maintain the race by combining genetic information of the Earth's people with their genes. These experiments have stopped being conducted since the early 90s. Anyway, the reason why the Galactic Union has deployed combat fleets is to prevent so-called dark beings such as reptile aliens and zeta reticulins from interfering with the current solar system of any kind of interference. This is because most of these tribes have recently joined the Union of Light galaxies, but there are still remaining dark remnants. They may cause problems at this critical time when the Earth is about to return to the Union of galaxies. Earth's secret governments are still negotiating with the remaining evil reptile aliens and grays to continue to dominate the planet, and this secret government is the one responsible for the 9/11 terrorist attacks. There are many hidden stories about the 9/11 terrorist attacks, but as stated earlier, the specific truth about the 9/11 terrorist attacks will be announced in detail after the announcement of Nessara. Soon, when a special law called NESARA is announced in the United States, governments around the world will be replaced as well as a return to the gold standard and common law, and a newly formed government will officially announce the existence of a galaxy union. And it will also be known how the Union of galaxies helped secretly until Nessara was announced. After the announcement, the Galaxy Alliance's small reconnaissance ships in the atmosphere will release their clockings and land in major cities on the ground, giving those who want a chance to ride the spacecraft for a while. This will force people to accept all these facts, even if they don't want to believe them, and their existing values will collapse. Later, the Union of galaxies will provide tools to turn light directly into food, clothing, and energy, and people will no longer have to live as economic slaves of secret powers. For your information, the essence of all matter in the universe is light, so you can make anything if you only know how to convert light into material. Simply put, it's possible to suddenly build a house in the air. Also, during this period, we will have an official reunion with our relatives who live in the inner world of the Earth. and other ascended masters, such as the master Sananda, whom we know as Jesus, and the Count of Saint-Germain, will reappear before the public and convey their wisdom to us. The masters who have risen are those who have gained enlightenment about aspects of the material world and achieved a high spiritual level. They have various past lives like us, and Jesus, for example, was also a Nibiruin in his past life. We are all souls that grow with various experiences and knowledge gained in the material world by repeating reincarnation. After about a year of transitional time after reuniting with these distant spiritual and cosmic beings, mankind will migrate to the inner world of the Earth. While the Remuria and Atlantis continents rise again and the 23.5-degree axis of rotation stands upright again, the surface temporarily becomes uninhabitable due to earthquakes and volcanic eruptions. After that, the double ice shield that caused the great flood will be restored to the atmosphere. After these things are completed, mankind will continue to live inside the Earth, leaving only 144 temples on the surface of the Earth at the main energy intersection. It is desirable to leave various plants and animals on the ground to be preserved in their natural state and to live inside the planet as a guardian. Of course, when Venus, Mars, and Maldives are restored later, there will be people who will move there to live.

Who is Song Tae Jo Gwang-yoon? (1)

 King Taejo of Buksong is named Jo Gwang-yoon (趙27: 927-976). Earlier, he served as the chief Buddhist monk of Huju, one of the highest military officers in Huju, the longest general of the Imperial Guard, and was established as an emperor during the Jingyo Byeongbyeon and became the founder of the Song Dynasty. He reigned for 17 years and died of illness at the age of 50. Later generations suspect that he was killed by his younger brother Cho Kwang-ui. It was buried in Yeongchangneung Royal Tomb (southwest of Gonghyeon, Hanam Province). Jo Gwang-yoon's hometown is Takju (now Takhyeon, Hanam Province), and he moved to Nakyang when his father Cho Hong-eun was born. He was born in Hyupmayoung, Nakyang. His father, Cho Hong-eun, was an officer of Hu Dang, Hu Jin, and Hu Han. Cho Kwang-yoon first caught Kwak Wi's eye because he liked martial arts while under the command of Kwak Wi, the captain of generous people. After that, he participated in the re-establishment of Gwakwi as the emperor of the latter and was appointed to the Jeonjegeumgun. During the reign of King Sejong, he also established a brilliant major and was promoted to Jeonjeon prosecutor (the highest general of the Imperial Guard) to take control of the latter's military power, and Songju (now Sanggu-hyeon, Hanam) and opened the capital. After the death of King Sejong, his son Si Jong-hoon succeeded the throne at the young age of seven. Cho Kwang-yoon secretly conspired to usurp the throne with his younger brothers Cho Kwang-ui and his youngest officer Jo Bo. In January 960, Jinju (now Jeong Jong-hyeon, Habuk-seong) and Jeongju (now Jeong-hyeon, Habuk-seong) sent a report that the allied forces of North Korea and the Yo Dynasty moved south and invaded Huju. Without confirming whether it was true, Empress Dowager's vice-cubine, Beom-jil, and Wangbu hurriedly led Cho Kwang-yoon to the north with a large army to defend against the enemy. Gapsinil Cho Kwang-yoon's unit camped at Jingyo Station (now 40-ri northeast of Hanamseong's opening), and the next morning at Jingyo Station, there was a loud roar from all sides. Jo Kwang-yoon, who had just woken up from the alcohol, came out of the bedroom and saw generals led by Jo Kwang-ui and Jo Bo standing in a line in front of the yard with weapons in one hand and shouting at once. "We don't have an owner, so please be a heavenly ruler!" When Cho Kwang-yoon didn't answer anything, the generals bowed in unison and shouted "Mansae" after putting pre-prepared yellow cloth on his body. This event is referred to as Jingyo lesion in history. Accordingly, Cho Kwang-yoon returned to the border with a large army. Instead of the latter, Hantong was killed by Cho Kwang-yoon's subordinates while he was hurriedly preparing to form an army to counter the coup, and the prime minister Beomjil and Wangbu were intimidated and surrendered. On the afternoon of the 5th of the New Year, Cho Kwang-yoon deposed Si Jong-hoon, ascended to the emperor, named the national name Song, Yeonho Keonryong, and named the capital as the opening of Hanamseong Fortress, and in history, it is called Buksong. Cho Kwang-yoon saw the power to do things in the world after the founding of Buksong, and said to Jo Bo, "I can't sleep because all the beds outside are like other people's territory." After that, with the help of Jo Bo, the Song Dynasty first suppressed the rebellion of the remaining forces Lee Gyun and Lee Joong-jin, and then took the policy of "Seonnamhubuk," destroying Nampyeong, Honam, Huchok, South Korea, and Namdang in turn, strengthening the defense of northern Khitan. In order to strengthen centralization, Cho Kwang-yoon took many measures. One evening in the fall of 961, King Song Tae-jo invited Geumwi-gun, General Seoksu-sin, and others to a banquet. Halfway through, King Taejo opened his mouth. "If it had not been for the help of the chiefs, I would not be who I am now. However, as I ascended to the position of Heavenly Father, it was very difficult every day, unlike when I was leisurely in the days of Theft. Now I can't sleep comfortably for almost a day." Seoksu-su and others said, "Your Majesty has become a precious heavenly body now, so what's the concern?" and Song Tae-jo asked, "Who wants to sit here?" Seok-su and others intuitively felt that there was a bone in the words, and said, "Who dares to have a different mind when a thousand people are already decided?" and quickly expressed their intention. King Taejo smiled bitterly and said, "You may not have any other heart, but if your men dress you with yellow cloth one morning, it will not work even if you do not want to be emperor!" After hearing this, Seok-su and others hurriedly knelt down and bowed their heads, wept, and said, "We really foolishly didn't think about it, so please open the way for us, Your Majesty," and King Taejo replied. "A man's life is very short. A man is born in the world, and he can enjoy his wealth and glory comfortably. When I think about it for you, it would be best to give up the right of soldiers, go down to the countryside, buy good rice fields and houses, hand them over to generations, and spend the rest of your life drinking happily every day. I'll get back together with you. This will eliminate doubts between the military gods and ease both the upper and lower bodies, so how good it is!" Seoksu-su and others noticed the meaning of this word, which was accompanied by grace and dignity, and resigned under the pretext of illness and returned the military authority the next day. 


This is the historically famous story of Bae Joo-seok Byeong-kwon. 


After a while, King Taejo deprived thieves such as Wang Eon-cho of the military power and returned all local administrative and financial rights to the center by the same means. These measures basically ended the phase of local separation that has appeared several times in Chinese history. King Taejo emphasized agricultural production and promoted socioeconomic development by reducing the number of servants while creating irrigation projects. King Taejo was a king who made many achievements, but he emphasized the policy of "stabilizing the inside and preventing external enemies" and valued literature and underestimated martial arts. As a result, since then, North Song has placed importance on the inside and neglected the outside, leading to a phase where it has become weaker day by day by day. He gave a large amount of answers to generals who offered military power and strengthened the concurrent forces of the land, deepening the conflict between classes, which led to the explosion of the peasant uprising shortly after the founding of the country. Although King Taejo was a general, he loved reading and never put books in his hands. When he went to Pyeongho-ri (now Hoeha basin) following King Sejong's descendant, someone told King Sejong that he loaded his belongings on several carts, most of which were treasures. King Sejong sent a person to investigate the facts, and it is said that the cart was filled with only thousands of books. So King Sejong asked him, "You're a general, what a book!" and he replied, "I don't have a good plan to dedicate to your Majesty, so I have no choice but to read a lot of books to broaden my knowledge and cultivate wisdom."

Alexander Gwanggaeto Ho-tae of Northeast Asia 1. Wind on the western border (7)

 Moduru and Busabi headed to the tavern together. It wasn't because I was as angry as I was the other day, but because I wanted to have a drink with pleasure. As much as they did, the street atmosphere of Yodongseong Fortress had changed completely from not long ago. The stagnant energy was completely gone and full of energy. The festival to celebrate the victory was about to take place. All of them and Busabi were delighted to hear General Kojin's words that they would hold a martial arts competition involving both the military and the people. Even after conquering the latter, they felt depressed as if they had lost. I had regrets about why I came all the way to the western border. I swallowed my sadness and anger in my heart, but I couldn't get rid of my anger. The only comfort is that they made friends with each other under the arrangement of General Gojin. After greeting each other in General Gojin's office, the two went to the barracks in Dululu together and drank all night with a heart of soothing their painful hearts. On the surface, Busabi looked gentle, but he had a boyish spirit to protect Goguryeo's spirit and was angry. The steward told Taduru about his history. In 378, when he was 15, he was invaded by Khitan and lost both his parents and family. Busabi was practicing martial arts at the time, and while going down from his teacher's errand, he visited the village to see his parents. However, there was no way to find the old appearance of the village, and it was all in chaos, and the smell of the dead body was strong. Bodies were scattered everywhere. Some men were lying with spears on their stomachs, and some women were killed while being robbed, with their bottoms exposed. I couldn't bear to see the devastation that became a mess, such as a child who died on his parents' back, a child who was crushed to death by the pile of collapsed houses, and houses that were burned down and destroyed. He ran to the lying man and shook him, but his cold, stiff body was silent. Tears came out and vomiting came out. I lost my mind for a while and walked absent-mindedly, and suddenly, my family came to mind. "I hope you'll be safe," he said, hoping in vain. His parents were stabbed to death near his house and called for his beloved sister, but there was no response. It was obvious that he had been taken to the object of the Khitan lust. In a day he was reduced to the loss of all his family. His eyes were turned upside down by the grief of losing his family, and he was bloodied by the brutal killing of the Khitan people. I wanted a thousand times as much revenge as well as a thousand times more revenge. He couldn't contain his anger and chased after the invading army. However, Goguryeo soldiers were nowhere to be seen. It was resentful of the mediation that failed to prepare for the invasion of Khitan. However, they could not help but resent the adjustment and wait for countermeasures. He went to fight against the Khitan people, even though he was bloodshot. It was a reckless act, but several people joined him and the people acted together. The people, who were terrified by the murderous atrocities of the Khitan people, did not hesitate to fight the Khitan people regardless of front or rear. The people were armed themselves, and they joined forces with the soldiers who arrived late to fight. Thus, they were finally able to expel the invading army from Goguryeo territory. Through this tragedy, Busabi realized that when the country was devastated by foreign invasion, the people suffered and died before anyone else. For this reason, he tried to volunteer as a soldier to prevent foreign invasion. So he gave up martial arts training and tried to descend, but his teacher, Seokpae, stopped him from descending. Seokpae had a special relationship with Duso when he was young. The two were very close and were recognized as talents who would lead the future of the country. However, the Seokpae hid in the middle of the night when Duso ascended to the national prize and became tyrannical. Having to betray his country to protect his friend's friendship, and having to fight for his loyalty, he was buried in the middle of the night and decided to train his juniors. It was a coincidence that Busabi took Seokpae as his teacher. At the age of 11, he was fighting with the captain of the other side, dividing the children into two groups and playing war games. Looking at this, the passerby looked closely at Busabi's frame and asked. "What's your name?" Even with a young eye, the passengers looked somewhat unusual. "It's called Busabi." "Are you not willing to learn martial arts?" "Are you sure?" The assistant immediately agreed, and the visitor came to discuss it with his parents. However, the visitor was someone my father respected. Perhaps that's why my parents agreed without much opposition. He has learned martial arts from his teacher since he was young, so his teacher meant more than blood to him. Such a teacher wouldn't allow me to go down. When I brought up the subject of descending, he treated me firmly. "Now, let's face me!" The teacher gave him a real sword and attacked him with a wooden sword. The teacher's attack was very sharp. Even though they competed with the real sword, they could not compete with the master's wooden sword. Then my teacher scolded me severely. "What kind of martial arts do you mean by preventing foreign enemies?" "Don't martial arts have to be high in preventing foreign enemies?" "Yes, that's right." However, it is by no means a bloody confrontation. You must be able to confront the mind with the power." "I don't know what your teacher meant, but isn't defending your country a hot love for your country?" "A hot love for your country..." That's a good word. If you really want to go down, beat me with your hot love." The adverbial ratio was amazing. I couldn't imagine that he would take over his teacher. It sounded like they were going to keep practicing martial arts in the mountains forever. So he protested to his teacher again. "How can I beat my teacher?" So, if I can't beat my master, I can't go down?" "If there's hot love as you say, there's no reason why I can't go beyond you." If you really want to avenge your parents, concentrate more on martial arts. If you don't want to be humiliated by foreign invasions, learn more martial arts." "Teacher!" "Hold your hot love in your heart." Then your martial arts will improve faster. Don't say anything more and concentrate on the martial arts." The noncommissioned officer couldn't resist the teacher's order. Not only because he was a teacher. I don't know what the teacher said, but I couldn't help but admit that it was right. If his teacher had been judged to be wrong, he would certainly have disobeyed. He decided to follow his teacher's orders, but he could not forget the situation of the country threatened by foreign invasions and the enemy of his family. So I studied martial arts hard and competed with my teacher. I've been defeated every time. I couldn't beat my teacher's martial arts. His anger-filled heart could not tolerate giving up, but he could not find out the reason for his defeat in the confrontation with his teacher. He made a bloody effort to find out the cause. It was a long training course of seven years. The more he continued to practice martial arts, the harder it was to unravel. Although the speed of the sword increased, it was not natural. As a result, I couldn't carry my strength and played separately with each knife movement. He was preoccupied with the problem, but couldn't solve it at all. With a feeling of desperation, I stared blankly at the waterfall. I was desperate only to think that it would be good if I could move vigorously like a waterfall. After doing this for many days, one day he went down to the waterfall ari because of thirst and drank a sip of water in the valley. It was as cool as a hole in my blocked chest. There was something that crossed his mind. "If you continue to strike and swing your sword coolly with a force as majestic as a waterfall..." The waterfall is the force of a mountain on both sides. He tried to apply the logic of the waterfall to the principle of the sword, saying, "If the force of the waterfall is the force of nature and the force of the waterfall is the force of the waterfall... and if my feelings are straightened out and the sword is struck continuously." Along with the hop method taught by the teacher, the principle of the waterfall was applied to the sword method. Then, little by little, a waterfall-like airflow was formed in his sword. So he continued to polish and devote himself to it, and finally completed it and asked his teacher for a battle. The teacher received a few swords from the steward, and said, "I don't respond anymore." "I've learned the logic of the sword, of course, and the reason of the world, so there's nothing more to teach." "No." I still have a long way to go." His teacher's words brought joy and pain to his words. Now that I've got a sense of what my teacher meant, I can't believe I have to leave my teacher... "Busabi! Do you understand why I stopped you from going down the mountain?" "I don't know, but I think I know a little." "Yes, tell me." "I think you're saying that you shouldn't express your love for your country on impulse." "Yes." "Please point out a lot of your lack of disciples." This teacher showed a very shameful appearance. So I didn't want you to be the only one to commit this mistake." "..." "I couldn't express my loyalty to my country in my heart, so I showed a foolishness that I couldn't distinguish between friendship and loyalty." Don't follow in my footsteps. Do you understand?" "I don't even know that... I'll keep that in mind, Master!" "I ask you again, but always use martial arts for the sake of the country and the people." "I'll always remember your words." "Come with me!"" The teacher led Busabi into the hut where he was hiding. The teacher took out an object that he had kept very dearly. It was just a round-the-clock. "Here, take this sword," You'll need this knife. "No, this knife will need you." "No, it won't." I still have a long way to go. "How can I receive my master's sword?" "No, I can't." Let's go ahead." The teacher nodded brightly. Busabi was not able to overcome his teacher's earnest recommendation and accepted the change. "Thank you. Now you will have to give your country my share." "Teacher!"

" The teacher stared at him with affectionate eyes. It was to keep his beloved disciple in mind ahead of the breakup, when he could not promise when to see him. He seemed to understand his teacher's feelings. He lowered his head even further. The teacher looked at him like this and kept saying, "It is said that they are recruiting expeditionary forces in anticipation of a future invasion. Go down and become the shield of your country." "Teacher!" Busabi shed hot tears and approved his teacher to resign. He then went down and applied for the Western Border Expeditionary Force. The latter expeditionary forces were brought together in two forms. One was a military that part of the regular national army was dispatched, and the other was recruited from the western neighborhood. Goguryeo was external on all sides, so it was not possible to concentrate the regular army of the national highway in any one place. Therefore, in order to attack one place, the people of the neighboring province had to be dispatched to gather soldiers. In this process, the adverb fee volunteered to recruit soldiers from neighboring provinces. He told Moduru about his history and let out a long sigh. No, it was more like anger than a sigh. "The people in the court have no idea what kind of pain the people suffer when they are invaded by foreign enemies." "They can only sit on the national road and save their seats." I don't want to see that..." All of them agreed and expressed their anger. "That's right. If you know, you should be prepared in advance, not in a hurry." "That's a problem because you can't expect it." If you look at this expedition alone, you're asking us to withdraw all the troops who have won the war, so what more do we need to say?" Daru suffered from resentment that did not end with a complete victory. However, knowing that Busabi was the same, he seemed to have acquired a valuable companion. Perhaps that's why the two of them spat out their inner stories. When each other's intentions worked, they even talked about their feelings. Their conversation was endless. The two candidly complained about the reality of the country. "The people are going to defend themselves against foreign enemies. "Because I know too well how much the pain is otherwise." "I can see clearly from hearing the horrors of the disturbance." But this guy's court... "I've been thinking about my teacher more these days." "I understand that feeling." What do you mean a coward who is afraid of foreign enemies... "You shouldn't let those people control state affairs." As they heated up their enthusiasm, they were both saddened and upset by the reality of the court. In agreement, the two became close friends as if they had been dating for a long time. The two often met and talked to each other, expanding their consensus. But today they were not going to the bar to vent their anger. It was to shake off his anger and share his cup of joy.

Not Rich, But Beautiful: What Kim Gu Really Meant by a “Cultural Nation”

Was Kim Gu naïve when he said he wanted Korea to be “the most beautiful nation,” not the richest? A closer reading shows a hard-edged bluep...
