koreanhistory1-11, Exercise 3: Applying the checklist (a sample; yours will differ)

Statement: "The Dangun foundation of 2333 BC began Korean history."

1. Who kept the record? The Samguk yusa (thirteenth century), citing a lost text; the 2333 BC figure comes from the Tongguk tonggam (1485). Not contemporary.
2. Date, claim or story? A story with a calculated date; the Gojoseon article says the legend has no supporting evidence. Fails: it is presented as a date.
3. Whose figure? The Tongguk tonggam's, tied to Emperor Yao's 40th year; other sources give other years.
4. Which name? "Gojoseon" is a later label distinguishing it from the 1392 dynasty.
5. What was not read? Only part of the Gojoseon article (the last 9,222 characters were not read).
6. Your own reading? The statement mixes a story with a start of history, which I would mark as my reading.
