There's a rock with "Unicorn Lair" written on it in front of the unicorn lair, and it took 1600 years to discover it? For that reason, and that reason alone, I don't believe them.
"The discovery of the unicorn lair, associated with legend about King Tongmyong, proves that Pyongyang was a capital city of Ancient Korea as well as Koguryo Kingdom."

Their logic is infallible.

reddit.com/r/pyongyang has more such gems.
Is that actually run by a representative of the DPRK? It seems that way, but.... it's on reddit.
Nope. Everyone's posting "in character."
WTF is this on HN?
because it includes "north korea" in it's title.
I know what you're saying, I thought the same thing.

But TBH, its because it is a form of "social engineering" (Better term anyone?). It is completely 1984-esque, total Ministry of Truth shit right there. "WAR IS PEACE. FREEDOM IS SLAVERY. IGNORANCE IS STRENGTH."

Being a form of sociology that we've only read about in books makes it interesting enough to be put on HN.

"The old book 'Sinjungdonggukyojisungnam' (Revised Handbook of Korean Geography) complied in the 16th century wrote that there is a lair west of Pubyok Pavilion in Mt. Kumsu." Revised by the Ministry of Truth?
