Chapter 12: Conclusion

12. Conclusion

Among the fine research scientists have accomplished recently was finding humanity's past in the information within human blood. In 2008 they published the theory that modern humanity traveled from Africa along the sea routes toward the east where the sun rises and reached East Asia 50,000 years later. They found the origin of modern humanity and brought many hypotheses together into one. In world culture, too, the more ancient the history, the more hypotheses and conjectures there have been, but as one understands the content of this book, they all connect into one. A road has opened to finding the answers to many questions about human civilization and culture.

The Stone Age people who reached East Asia met the four seasons and began regular farming. From more than 10,000 years ago they baked clay to make earthenware, and in particular, since there are traces showing that comb-pattern pottery was made in East Asia and moved westward, this is evidence that humanity's industrial development began in East Asia, a region of four seasons. Hauling boulders from afar to erect dolmens, and making metal tools in coal fires and beginning to shape wood and stone, was the beginning of human civilization.

The dolmen people, who made earthenware and used farming tools, built thatched houses with the straw left after the autumn grain harvest and made straw boats, becoming skilled in seafaring. They moved west along the coastal road they had already traveled. After the thaw, dolmen culture reached as far as Western Europe, where people lived settled farming lives and even came to erect England's Stonehenge with metal tools. The pottery civilization of East Asia seems to have reached Southwest Asia and begun Sumerian culture. The murals painted on the coasts of France and Spain during Europe's Ice Age also seem to be the remains of East Asians.

While modern humanity first adapted from maritime life in East Asia to an inland life of meeting the four seasons and overcoming winter, people drove oxen to farm according to the seasons and drove dogs and horses and became accustomed to nomadic life. They made metal tools in coal fires and began to build wooden houses and wooden boats. The natural stones of the dolmens were shaped into squared rocks and developed into pyramid architecture. Shaping rock with metal tools, they built pyramids, and making metal wheels, they made the horse-drawn chariot (車馬). Carving wood, they built wooden houses and floated wooden boats on the sea, and at last East Asian people followed the familiar coastal road they had traveled in the past and sought out their home on the banks of the Nile. This book is the first to explain that Egypt's history was made with the help of Africans and Arabs.

This wheel culture developed the form of cities into a grid, so grid city planning began in East Asia. East Asians migrated in as the native peoples of the American continent and formed the cultures of the North American continent and the Central and South American continents, forming the Maya, Aztec, and Peruvian cultures.

East Asian Taoism was religion and science. It was passed on to the Ganges River of East India, and the imperial religion Buddhism began. While Buddhism flourished in India, kings of the Greek city-states visited India and China to train, and Greek culture began. Christianity and Islam of Southwest Asia followed. The countless cave temples of East Asia, with their religious sculpture, are products of metal tools. Along with cave sculpture and Buddhist culture, the wooden architectural style of East Asia was passed to the stone architecture of Greece, so the Doric style of architecture seems to have come from the wooden architectural style of East Asia.

From the time modern humanity pioneered the coastal road from Africa to East Asia, East Asian culture was continuously passed to the Mediterranean and, after the thaw, to Europe. At last, as East Asians grew accustomed to the continental climate, they pioneered the transcontinental Silk Road leading to post-thaw Europe. Attila of the Huns brought East Asian civilization to Europe along the Silk Road. The imperial culture of Qin Shi Huang was passed to Europe, and Roman culture blossomed in Europe.

With Genghis Khan's invasion in the 11th century, the European nations, as Marco Polo's Travels shows, steadily took in East Asian science and knowledge, gained worldly knowledge, and further developed Genghis Khan's modern weapons. Following the Atlantic and Pacific voyages of the Ming admiral Zheng He, the voyages of Vasco da Gama and Columbus followed. Europe's revival began, and its worldwide invasion began. It occupied the Australian continent, the North and South American continents, and Siberia in Northeast Asia, and colonized and ruled India and the rest of Southeast Asia and many countries of Africa. Europe modernized through the Renaissance, the Reformation, and the Industrial Revolution, invaded less developed nations, and made today's world map. Among them the British Empire reigned over a territorial expansion on which the sun never set, and then its colony, the new nation of the United States, was born.

The United States grew by working as slaves Black people brought from Africa. Developing electricity, the automobile, the airplane, and new weapons, it led the First and Second World Wars to victory and arrived at today's world situation of overwhelming economic and military power. It built a worldwide power base by protecting the defeated nations of Germany and Japan. The Japanese belong to Koreans in the history of bloodline and language, and Japanese culture is also part of Korean culture, but this is not known. The center of human civilization, which began in East Asia, passed through the Mediterranean, passed through Europe, stayed in the British Empire, and then crossed over to the United States during the two world wars. Now in the near future the center of civilization seems likely to return once again to its starting point, East Asia.

If we compare human history to the life of one person, we can predict what age modern humanity belongs to and where humanity's future is heading. The baby, born after repeating past evolution within its mother's body, receives its mother's love, and as its body grows, art began, just as it sings aloud and dances; and as it began to speak, reason developed and science began through logical communication. Adolescent humanity, just as the body develops, grew rapidly in population, and the Earth began to be infected with the fullness of the human world. Reason developed and it reached the stage of standing on its own. Shouting that God is dead, it showed the look of rebelling against its parents in adolescence, and its physical growth was faster than its mental growth.

Humanity still lacks ability: religious wars continue, it could not prevent the slaughter of six million Jews, and even now it cannot rescue 20 million North Korean people from the dictatorship of the Kim family. The nations of Southwest Asia are suffering from religious wars and between the powers of America and the Soviet Union. It is at a level of intellect that confuses creationism and evolution and commits the act of slaughtering people of other religions for the sake of its own religion. The confusion of modern people's knowledge is the immature face of humanity's adolescence; it cannot separate reason, sensibility, and spirituality and confuses them. If it matures a little more, separates the languages of science, art, and religion, and communicates by dividing its ways of thinking into three, then evolutionary science and religious creationism will not contradict each other.

From the near future, humanity's young adulthood begins. The world of the coming future will form families in which undying space people, test-tube babies implanted with artificial intelligence, grow up. The most beautiful era of family life in human history is approaching. We have reached the information age, in which all the nations of the Earth are connected as one family.

As for humanity's future, just as civilization began in East Asia ten thousand years ago, now a happy family era led by East Asia is approaching. Just as yin and yang achieved balance and the Five Elements kept to their seasons and order was established in life, humanity will form one family, and test-tube babies will gain artificial intelligence, become the humanity of the future, and be born as space people with the ability to survive the long journey through the universe.

When the day comes for them to leave home in search of a nest among the stars, the youngest will grow weak from the Earth's pollution, and the day will come when it leaves this world. The Earth will go back to the age of bacteria and fall into winter sleep, and waiting long for a new spring to come, it will silently circle the sun, accompanied by the moon.

I have come to confirm that the Atlantis of which the Greek Plato spoke, and which Europeans are still searching for, is East Asia around the Korean Peninsula. After finding the roots and sharing the story of the fruit, coming to see humanity's past rightly, and making the effort to unfold the hope of the future before us: this is the content and purpose of this book. I hope it will be researched and confirmed with even greater interest and become the common knowledge of humanity.

If I were to write the content of this book as a single poem:

Modern Humanity

Yong Wan Choi

Fifty thousand years from Africa along the sea road where the sun rises

Reaching the Korean Peninsula, the winter of the four seasons blocked the way

Driving oxen to farm, driving dogs to begin the nomad's life

We hauled boulders and raised dolmens to serve the ancestors' spirits

With iron swords and tools melted out of coal fires

We built wooden houses and shaped rock to build pyramids

Loading horse-drawn chariots onto sailing boats

We groped along the road home and sought out Africa

Old kin gathered and raised Manchuria's stone-mound tombs (pyramids)

On the Nile, and the mother-of-pearl lacquerware was dazzling

The white people of Europe, set free from the Ice Age

Buddhist teaching became the foundation of the Greek states

Qin Shi Huang's descendants built the Roman Empire and tore it down

East Asia's Silk Road stretched to the Mediterranean

Genghis Khan woke the dark dream of the Middle Ages

Through the Reformation, the Renaissance, the Industrial Revolution

With guns and cannons, on the Asians' land of bows and spears

The white people made today's map of the world

Human civilization that began in East Asia

Having circled the Earth once, now in the ripeness of adolescence

Raises space people of test-tube babies with artificial intelligence

The joy of readying body and mind to depart for space

The youngest of all animals, modern humanity, grows old

The space people leave, and only the Earth the youngest emptied remains

On the road of rebirth to the age of bacteria, circling and circling the sun.

End of the Book

The poem introduced next is one the author wrote greeting the dawn of the year 2000.

Dawn of 2000

Scattering light through vast space

The drifting comet

Does not know there is time

On the Earth where we live

History is formed and recorded, and when buried

In the earth it becomes fossil, and the rocks remember

Among the animals, humankind learned language

Invented writing, and changed the face

Of the Earth, and now riding the computer

Sets sail toward the universe

Shrinking two million years of legend into two hours

The first cry of humanity's newborn child, born again,

Wakes the dawn of this year 2000

Culture, religion, civilization, race, nation………

All of them together now

Open a new chapter in our destiny

The lord of creation

The Creator lifts a torch high

On the road ahead of cosmic humanity, which from today will flow on living forever,

And the sun of the new millennium rises

Oh! This brilliantly shining morning

When the dawn spreads, flying with the sunlight,

Into the endless space of a thousand light-years

This dialogue between me and the Creator

Echoes and resounds among the galaxies
