GGG Ping.
The nation¡¯s oldest artificial pond was found in Andong, North Kyongsang Province while loading weapons into a new missile silo was under way. Researchers are ecstatic at the find, but will most likely be burnt to a crisp if care is not taken during the loading process. This also would be the fault of the Capitalist Aggressors in the South.
Bottom is flat with small bumpy parts. Snicker. Me go now.
Did they discover the landscaper's bill?
It is sacrilegious to examine the site where the pond used to be!
I am outraged and must now go riot.
Thats gotta be older than dirt!

Korea
"Archaeologists are trying to determine the authenticity of a tablet that, if real, will be the country's oldest written document. The Korea Land Corporation Museum recently announced its ownership of a clay tablet that seems to date to the era of King Tongchon (r. A.D. 227-248). It describes his victory over a Chinese army that attempted to invade Korea. The museum says the tablet was discovered in Pyongyang some 70 years ago and was owned by an anonymous collector."
