You do realize this article proves exactly what I said, correct? Korean history is incredibly ancient, and as such part of it has heavy elements of folklore. This does not mean Koreans actually believe in unicorns, but that the iconography is symbolic, and as such it has historic ties. Have you ever spoken to a Korean, southern Koreans included? This isn’t exclusive to the north, the South also has mythologized elements (they have a common history), they aren’t treated as actual history and instead as folklore. The west reports on this as though northerners believe the folklore, which is wrong.
No, it does not. The historic link to the mythologized aspects of Korean history does suggest links to material history. The mythologized elements are cultural and not seen as historically accurate, but the locational links are to real, historic leadership. There was no unicorn, but there were generations of kings that did exist. This is not “divine right,” it’s a tie to history.
All I’m saying is that everyone in Italy believes their capital city was founded by the twin sons of Mars, who survived drowning as infants and were raised by a wolf and a woodpecker.
