[第3話] 世界の文明。中国、インダス、オルメカ、オルメカ....朝鮮。 えっ、朝鮮！？

こんにちは。モグタンです。今年の冬は寒いですねー。でも、なかなか雪は降りませんねー。そんなどうでもいい話はさておいて、今日はWikipedia英語版で世界の文明を調べてみたよ。

この記事は専門的な内容が書かれていて、世界の代表的な文明も紹介されています。
シュメール、インダス、エラム、古代ギリシア、古代ローマ、エジプト、オルメカ、朝鮮...。んんっ？朝鮮文明！？

なんじゃそれ？と思って説明を見てみると、こんなことが書いてありました。

Korean civilization is one of the world's oldest civilizations, Limited linguistic evidence suggests possible Altaic - Tungusic origins of these people,whose northern Mongolian Steppe culture later absorbed refugees and cultural influence from northern China.

Agriculture and more complex societies developed during the Mumun pottery period (c. 1500-300 BC), and the bronze age begins around 1000 BC, with its distinct Liaoning bronze dagger culture. Oldest evidence of rice cultivation dates to between 11th and 13th centuries BC. Around 900 BC, evidence emerges of walled-city political structure and labor-intensive dolmen burial sites.

モンゴルの遊牧民が朝鮮半島に住み着いて、中国文化を吸収して、紀元前10世紀ごろに青銅器文明を築きました。

Evidence（証拠）を連呼しながら、具体的な地名などを紹介していないのが不思議ですね。

で、更新履歴を確認したところ、2006年10月1日にKorea文明は追記されていたよ。


最初のバージョンの鼻息の荒さは・・・呆然とするしかないレベルだなぁ・・・。

Korean civilization is one of the world's oldest civilizations,[3] According to the Samguk Yusa, written in 13th century, Korea's first dynasty is thought to be legendary Hwanguk even though Hwanguk is thought to be Hwanin in some versions of Samguk Yusa. The second dynasty, Gojoseon (then called Joseon, 2333 BC - 2nd century BC), was founded by Dangun in southern Manchuria and northern Korean peninsula.[4] Recent studies indicate that people of Gojoseon belonged to the Tungusic family and were linguistically affiliated with the Altaic.[5] By 2000 BC, a new pottery culture is evidenced, with painted designs, in Manchuria and northern Korea. Intensive agriculture and complex societies developed during the Mumun pottery period (c. 1500-300 BC). Limited linguistic evidence suggests possible Altaic - Tungusic origins of these people, whose northern Mongolian Steppe culture absorbed refugees and invaders from northern China. In the 4th century, the adoption of Buddhism and the "hanja" had a profound effect on its society. Koreans later passed on these, as well as their own advances, to Japan.[6][7][8][9] Archeological evidence indicates contacts between southern Korea and Japan from a very early period. Korean civilization were introduced to the Japanese archipelago in waves of migration, the latter was inhabited by the hunter-gatherer Jomon people consisting of Ainu and Malayo-Polynesian people. Most scholars believe that there were massive transmissions of technology and culture from Korea to Japan which is evidenced by material artifacts in tombs of both states in the Proto-Three Kingdoms of Korea and Proto-Japanese of Wa. This view was popularized in Japan by Egami Namio's theory of a powerful horse-riding race from the north who brought about the dramatic change from Jomon to Yayoi culture. [8]. Korean civilization continued to influence the culture in the Japanese archipelago, both through waves of migration and through trade, travel and cultural change until the Yamato period in Japan. The start of the Yayoi period around 300 BC marked the influx of new practices such as rice farming, shamanism, and iron and bronze-making brought by migrants from Korea[10] [11] One of the best known artifacts of Korean Civilization of science and technology is Cheomseongdae, a 9-meter high observatory built in 633. It is considered to be the world's oldest surviving astronomical observatory.

（要約）韓国の文明は世界で一番古い。韓国文明は日本の野蛮人に、鉄、宗教、埋葬...（中略）...稲作を教えてやった。

うーん、こんなアホなこと書くから、議論ページでぼこぼこにされているね。

履歴を見る限り、最初は全削除だったのが、何度も何度も韓国文明が貼られてくるものだから、削除していた側も根負けしちゃって『中立性に疑いあり』の条件付でKorea文明は承認されてしまった模様です。

このやり取りを見ると『日本海を東海にする運動もこうやってゴリ押ししたんだろうな』と想像できます。

今日は『歴史をKreateする』が勉強できました。　めでたし、めでたし。
