Some Sun symbol in ancient Korea...
These pictures are some symbols of sun in ancient Korea. At first, I tried to find out some symbols of sun from ancient Egypt, Greece, some countries from mid America or bible...But those are very common and many people can find out easily, so i tried to find out some symbols in Korea.
These symbols from one of ancient nations in Korea which called "Go-Goo-Ryu"(B.C 37 ~A.D 668), and located at North Korea and huge parts of China.
They believed that 'crow with 3 legs' is the bird of sun, and it represented God. Therefore every picture of sun, they drew that bird.
However, thesedays, this bird represents 'Japan Football Association'(you can see that at picture 2). Because during the period of colony, Japan goverment decided this bird as their emblem for Football Association.
