Fall Asleep to South Korea’s History: The Ultimate Sleep Companion Through Time

Описание: Welcome back to History in Shorts — but tonight, we’re going long.
This is “Fall Asleep to South Korea’s History: The Ultimate Sleep Companion Through Time,” a calm, richly told journey through thousands of years of Korean history — from ancient pottery villages and warrior kingdoms to turtle ships, colonisation, war, and the neon skylines of modern Seoul.

A soothing, softly narrated exploration designed to help you relax, unwind, and fall asleep while learning about one of the world’s most resilient and remarkable nations. You’ll travel across the entire sweep of Korea’s story — kings and generals, scholars and rebels, invasions and miracles, memory and reinvention.

We move gently from ancient Korea’s tribal kingdoms and Buddhist courts, through the age of Admiral Yi Sun-sin and the fall of the Joseon dynasty, to the tragedy of division, the devastation of the Korean War, and the astonishing rise of modern South Korea.
Perfect for bedtime, study, or anyone who wants to drift off to a peaceful retelling of history’s great tides.
