China continues its closed research into a recently unearthed Goguryeo stele, or memorial stone, that is attracting interest as the second Gwanggaeto Stele.
The Hankyoreh confirmed that the research team includes a large number of scholars who took part in the Northeast Project, which was controversial for its distortions of Goguryeo history. Goguryeo was one of the three kingdoms of ancient Korea, along with Baekjae and Silla.
Parts of its territory are in present day North Korea, North eastern China and Russian Far East. Officials in the city of Ji’an in Jilin Province, northeast China, where the new Goguryeo stele was discovered, assembled a guidance team for protection and study of the gravestone.
