Our history engraved in the sky
Description
Book Introduction
What do the constellations carved on Bronze Age dolmens signify? What is the true nature of the Celestial Elevation Map? Are all the facts recorded in the book fabricated? Despite its long history, Korea's ancient history lacks the necessary historical materials to serve as a foundation for research, making these questions difficult to adequately answer.
"Our History Engraved in the Sky" scientifically verifies the authenticity of astronomical phenomena recorded in ancient historical books through celestial calculations, providing a starting point for solving various problems in ancient history in a situation where ancient historical materials are severely lacking.
By using astronomical records from the first ancient history book in Korea as historical materials, we are thoroughly investigating the existence of Dangun Joseon, the territory of the Three Kingdoms, and the authenticity of the , which are currently being debated in the field of ancient Korean history.
This book traces and perfectly recreates astronomical phenomena from thousands of years ago, including constellations, comets, meteorites, and meteors, providing readers with an exciting historical journey into the sky.

Publisher's Review
Astronomical records left in Korean history and the keys to historical interpretation hidden within them.
Along with China, our country is the only astronomical kingdom in the world that has systematically observed astronomical phenomena for over 2,000 years and left behind extensive records.
Considering that the history of astronomical observation in the West is only about 300 years at most, we can see that the history of astronomical observation in Korea is very long (dolmens engraved with the Big Dipper, Cassiopeia, etc. have remained in North Korea since around 5000 BC, and records of sunspots predate Galileo Galilei in the West by about 1000 years).
Although our country's astronomical records are smaller overall than those of China, there are cases where records of specific phenomena are more abundant (while there were only 292 records of aurorae in China investigated until 1747, in our country, there are 711 known internationally), and in particular, the reliability of the observation facts is generally higher and more stable than in China (while the realization rate of the early solar eclipse records in the Samguk Sagi is 89%, the realization rate of the solar eclipse records in the Hanshu and the Later Hanshu is only 78%).
Since these astronomical phenomena occur according to well-defined physical laws, their authenticity can be verified through astronomical calculations. They are also very useful for studying ancient history, as they allow us to estimate the time of observation, the observer's location, and the level of scientific development.
『Our History Engraved in the Sky』 presents an ancient history different from existing academic theories by scientifically and systematically analyzing astronomical records such as solar eclipses, aurorae, the movements of the moon and comets, and the falls of meteors and meteorites recorded in 『Dangigosa』, 『Dangunsegi』, 『Samguk Sagi』, and 『Samguk Yusa』.
