Korean

Korea is one of the primary locations in the world for dolmens, prehistoric tombs that usually date from the early Neolithic period (4000 BC to 3000BC). The term dolmen originates from the expression taol maen, which means "stone table" in Breton. A typical dolmen consists of two or more upright stones supporting a large flat horizontal capstone. There are approximately 30,000 dolmens in North and South Korea, which is about 40% of the total number of dolmens in the world.

Korea’s printing tradition is one of the oldest in the world. Korean woodblock printing began in the 8th century. The earliest extant book printed with movable metal type is the Selected Teachings of Buddhist Sages and Soen Masters. Its date is equivalent to 1377AD, long before Johannes Gutenberg’s invention of movable type in 1450.
