청암면, South Korea
Samseonggung ("Palace of the Three Sages") is a Korean shamanic shrine along the slopes of Jiri Mountain, Hadong County in South Gyeongsang Province that was created for paying homage to the three mythical founders (father-son-grandson trio) of Korea: Hwanin (환인) - or "Divine Regent" is, in the trad
itional Dangun mythology, portrayed as the Emperor of Heaven himself. Hwanung (환웅) - or "Supreme Divine Regent" is Hwanin's son, who, in the traditional Dangun mythology, descended to the peak of a sacred mountain long ago to bring civilized government and thus benefitted humanity. Dangun (단군) - or "Grandson of Heaven" is the divine son of Hwanung. Dangun was the fabled founder of Gojoseon, the first Korean kingdom, around present-day Liaoning, Northeast China and the Korean Peninsula. Dangun is said to have founded the kingdom in 2333 BCE.
