Asadal, (Korean: 아사달; Hanja: 阿斯達; RR: Asadal) was the capital city of the kingdom of Gojoseon (Korean: 고조선; Hanja: 古朝鮮, meaning "Older Joseon"), the first Korean kingdom and notably founded by the legendary king Dangun. It is thought that Asadal was located in Manchuria, in the northeastern Hwanghae Province in North Korea, or in the Pyongyang Province (평양, Hanja 平壤, with no relation to the modern-day capital of North Korea).[1][2]
