Description

Join us for a groundbreaking exploration at the New Findings of Liao Civilization and the Prehistory of Northeast Asia: The Korean Perspectives presented bv the Center for Korean-American and Korean Studies and the College of Natural and Social Sciences. This event will delve into the discovery of the Liao Civilization, an ancient society that dates back to 4,000 BC, situated along the Liao River in Manchuria. This remarkable finding challenges our understanding of human history, as it predates the world's four oldest known civilizations - Mesopotamian, Egyptian, Indus, and Yellow River.

At the heart of this conference is a critical examination of the Liao civilization's profound impact on our perception of Northeast Asian prehistory and humanity as a whole. The discover has sparked vigorous debates and controversies, particularly concerning the ethnic identity of those who inhabited this ancient civilization. This conference aims to illuminate these discussions by presenting unique Korean perspectives.

Don't miss this opportunity to engage with leading scholars and experts as we unravel the mvsteries of the Liao civilization and its significant implications for historical understanding.
