WhooshIt will be interesting to see what they learn from this recovered ship.
"South Korean archaeologists have recovered the full remains of a Joseon-era (1392-1910) cargo vessel, shedding light on how a premodern kingdom managed national taxation, logistics and sea-based infrastructure with surprising complexity.
Announced by the National Research Institute of Maritime Heritage on Monday, the 15th-century vessel — named Mado 4 by researchers — was raised from the seabed in October following nearly a decade of conservation and analysis.
It is now the only fully excavated Joseon-era ship ever recovered, and the clearest physical proof yet of the kingdom’s maritime tax network."

mikotoThe remains of the forcibly conscripted Korean workers in Chousei (長生) coal mine in WWII were found as a result of undersea exploration. The mine collapsed to be submerged in 1942, and now the victims see the sun for the first time in 83 years.
Korean residents in Japan expressed the utmost respect and condolences to the deceased with keunjoel (큰절: deep bow, the formal and serious action in Korean traditional manner).
And the lanterns with the names of the victims were dedicated for the repose of souls in the evening.

Ancient Origins
Utube PublisherIn the 15th century, Korea unleashed a battlefield game-changer: the Hwacha — a fearsome rocket launcher that could fire 100+ arrows in seconds. A fusion of gunpowder science and tactical genius, it predated modern rocket artillery by centuries. It wasn’t just a weapon — it was a warning to invaders.

Jonathan EmmesediI read this novel recently and and would recommend it to anyone with an interest in Korean and East Asian literature, culture, and history.
In addition, readers wanting to read fiction focused on the working class will find this a rewarding book.
Admirers of Latin American magical realist writing might well engage with the author's "mindam realism".
