N2  - The aim of this book is to introduce the overall history and culture of Korea through 19 different pieces of culture that are currently on the Korean Peninsula and are registered with UNESCO. The 19 pieces of World Heritages, Memories of the World, and Intangible Heritages give a balanced view of the 5,000 year long Korean history from the prehistoric times to the modern times. Koreans might have created these heritages, but now they are outstanding pieces of property with universal values for all mankind. This book will provide experience in the long history, culture, and tradition of Korea and not just to expert researchers of Korean studies in the international society, but also to the students of Korean studies, as well as the general public
