Hwandangogi consists of 4 volumes.
Samseonggi contains a history of Hwan In and Hwan Wung.
Bukbuyeogi contains a hisotry of Bukbuyeo(BC 239-BC 58) dynasty, a predecessor of Goguryeo(BC 58-AD 668) dynasty.
At last, Taebaekilsa contains from an ancient history to Goryeo(AD 918-AD 1392) dynasty history. Howerver, this book contains an amazing history. Our history is not 5000 years, but it states our history is 10,000 years.

It states that there is 5,000 years of history before Dangun Joseon (BC 2333-AD 238) dynasty. There was Hwanguk (BC 7199-BC 3898 : Hwan dynasty) first and following dynasty called Shinshi, Baedalguk (BC 3898-BC 2333 : Baedal dynasty). Then, Dangun Joseon (BC 2333-AD 238) afterward.
After Dangun Joseon (BC 2333-AD 238), there was Bukbuyeo(BC 239-BC 58) dynasty, a predecessor of Goguryeo dynasty and Goryeo(AD 918-AD 1392) dynasty after Bukbuyeo. Then Daejinguk (AD 669-926 : Daejin dynasty), also called Balhae, and there was Goryeo (AD 918-1392) dynasty.

Especially ancient history is brilliant. The first dynasty, Hwanguk (BC 7199-BC 3898 : Hwan dynasty), was born in history 10,000 years ago. During 3301 years of its ruling period, Hwanguk was governed by 7 Hwanins. After Hwanguk, Shinshi Baedalguk (BC3898-BC 2333 : Baedal dynasty) was ruled by 18 Hwan Wungs over 1500 years. After ruling over 5000 years by Hwanguk (BC 7199-BC 3898 : Hwan dynasty) and Shinshi Baedalgul, finally Dangun Joseon (BC 2333-AD 238 : Dangun Joseon dynasty) was born and total 47 Dangun ruled Dangun Joseon.

Ph.Dr. Myeong-Cheol Yun, Dongguk University History department:
This book has a specific record about our greatness and territory not like the history that we have known. Therefore, regardless if it is true or not, this book has been very important for those who are seeking for Korean race's greatness or identity of Korean race.

The domain of Korean race described in Hwandangogi is far beyond our imagination. According to Samseonggi, under Mt. Pamirs, there was a dynasty of Hwan In and this land is east of Cheon. The size of this land extends from 50,000 Ri(20,000 km) North to South and 20,000 Ri(8,000 km) from East to West.

The location of Mt. Pamirs is central Siberian plateau and Cheon is Lake Baikal at the current day. This means that territory of Hwanguk 10,000 years ago is beyond Asia. Hwanguk (BC 7199-BC 3898 : Hwan dynasty) ruled over 12 dynasties and boasted its vast territory extending 50,000 Ri(20,000 km) from North to South and 20,000 Ri(8,000 km) from East to West.


Among these countries, there is a country called Sumiliguk.
Some claim that Sumiliguk is the old Sumer civilization.
According to this declaration, people of Sumer who has built up the
Mesopotamia civilization are ethnic ancestors of Korea.

There are not only stories of the spacious territory in Hwandangogi, but also glaring heroes.
One of the typical hero is Chi Wu Cheonhwang where his face-shape is inscribed
in a tile of tradition.
Chi Wu Cheonhwang is the 14th Hwan Wung of Baedalguk who already used iron arms and
known as the God of War.  

Ja O Ji Hwan Wung had copper enclosed the head
and his forehead was covered with iron.
The world was frightened of him because he first made weapons with iron(metal)
and called him Chi Wu Cheonhwang.
A chinese warrior Heon Wun Hwang Je challenged to him for  many times
but never was able to achieve victory.
Hwandangogi notes that the war that is known as Chinese history between
Chi Wu and Hwang Je started from the history of Korea.

The fifth son of Da Il Ban Hwan Wung is called Tae Ho Bok Hi.
Tae Ho Bok Hi is the first character of Sam Hwang O Je and served as the
Wusa(chief of rain) for the Dynasty and after went to Jin kingdom.
If he is the son of Hwan Wung written in the book,
then the Chinese history has origined from Korean history.
