The forgotten glory of the ancient Goguryeo Kingdom is being revived and remembered!
  The people of the Goguryeo Kingdom are the predecessors of the modern day Koreans. The Goguryeo Kingdom was a culturally rich civilization founded in 37 B.C. and which lasted for 705 years until 668 A.D.  
   Modern day Koreans take great pride in the historical legacy that has been given to them by their Goguryeo ancestors. The Goguryeo Kingdom and its monuments were added to UNESCO's World Heritage list on July 1, 2004. It is beyond question that Goguryeo is an ancient Korean kingdom. Its territory extended from the mid part of the Korean peninsula and the greater part of Manchuria all the way to eastern Mongolia and Beijing as well.
  Recently, China has been claiming Goguryeo as part of its own history. This can only be viewed as a blatantly imperialistic infringement on Korean history. We believe with absolute certainty that a careful review of the historical record will reveal the truth. The alleged scheme to change the course of history cannot stand up to the test of a careful review of the facts.  The injustice of this infringement must not be allowed to continue. The truth must be acknowledged by China and the world community at large.
   China is a large powerful country with a glorious history.  There is no need for China to engage in acts of cultural imperialism by attempting to take what is not theirs.
   The mission of the Goguryeo History Association is to study, protect, and disseminate the history of the Goguryeo Kingdom.  At this time we are taking steps to deal with the preposterous distortion of history initiated by China.  Our intent is to serve as a resource for international academic communities and government agencies through the translation of historical materials related to the Goguryeo Kingdom.
