What will last of our modern world? Little. Maybe just our monuments made of bronze—an incredibly stable alloy. They will be rolled into balls by expanding glaciers in the next Ice Age. A chat about time, from ancient #Korea. @TheWorld @outofedenwalk theworld.org/stories/2024/1…
✍️ “I am walking to . . . an archaeological zone that holds rare and precious relics of the peoples I am following on [the Walk]: early Homo sapiens, the first Stone Age wanderers out of Africa who explored the farthest rims of our planet.” — @PaulSalopek outofedenwalk.nationalgeographic.org/articles/2024-…
FIRST YARDSTICK: What was a mysteriously notched artifact from the Stone Age, discovered at a 40,000-year-old campsite in #SouthKorea, designed to do? Was it humanity’s first measuring tape? Did it parse time? Distance? Or did it reckon heartache & joy? outofedenwalk.nationalgeographic.org/articles/2024-…
“Woo finally asks me, clapping down his glass, what single lesson has emerged from my global walk. I tell him there is no lesson. ‘Aha,’ he says, nodding vigorously in assent. ‘That’s the lesson.’” —@PaulSalopek 🔗 Read “First Yardstick”: outofedenwalk.nationalgeographic.org/articles/2024-… 📷: Paul Salopek
A lecture about @outofedenwalk followed by a panel discussion on ‘slow living’ with Buddhist Rev. DAIKO MATSUYAMA & traditional arts patron TINA KOYAMA is open to all at @acehotel in #Kyoto on Friday November 22 at 5 pm. @natgeotv_jp @acehotel Details: acehotel.com/kyoto/going-on…
“I’ve been smoking since day one. My mother smoked when she was pregnant with me. I still smoke two packs a day. I don’t believe what TV says—about smoking being about death. They tell you, ‘No cigarettes, no alcohol!’ Hah.” —Oh Sewon, 72, #tobacco farmer, Jecheon, #SouthKorea.
FREE MASTERCLASS: @PaulSalopek & photographer Soichiro Koriyama will hold a master class on building layered, people-centered narratives through the practice of “slow storytelling.” Thursday Nov. 21 at 2 - 4 pm at the ACE Hotel in Kyoto. Register: acehotel.com/kyoto/going-on…
A milestone of Milestones: The 100th set of recordings—photos, video, text, audio—being chronicled every 100 miles apart along the pathway of a global walk from Africa to South America. This one: in an old killing field in #SouthKorea. @outofedenwalk outofedenwalk.nationalgeographic.org/milestones/202…
Walking through #SouthKorea’s “Beverly Hills” with a struggling actress can take the shine off any Oscar. A report for @TheWorld from the epicenter of K-culture—Korea’s globalized entertainment biz. @outofedenwalk #Gangnam theworld.org/stories/2024/1…
A cave whose dust was embedded with 40,000-year-old stone spear points looks out at a high-rise apartment complex near Danyang, #SouthKorea. The @outofedenwalk accordions time. Some mornings we roam in the Paleolithic, only to lay our heads down in the #Anthropocene.
@PaulSalopek walks @TheWorld's @CarolynBeeler through the glitter and grit of K-Pop's home theworld.org/stories/2024/1… We explore Seoul's Gangnam entertainment district 7-minute listen
South Korea’s booming entertainment industry spun out the world’s top 3 bestselling pop albums last year, won the Oscar for Best Picture in 2020, & now cashes in at least $10 billion in profits annually. But ask Lizzy Cho about the human cost of stardust. outofedenwalk.nationalgeographic.org/articles/2024-…
Remember the film ‘Parasite,’ which won Best Picture at the Oscars? Do you follow the monster boy-band #BTS? Each are a product of #SouthKorea’s Confucian ethos alloyed with Western pop culture. @outofedenwalk strolls thru the hub of K-culture—#Gangnam. outofedenwalk.nationalgeographic.org/articles/2024-…
#NatGeoExplorer @PaulSalopek discovered while walking that the demilitarized zone that has divided North Korea from South Korea for 71 years can be a quiet, peaceful stretch of land — and water. He shares his observations with Host Carolyn Beeler. bit.ly/3AfAjqf
Once more, into the breach. The mettle of #Georgians in defending their democracy is truly Shakespearean. Tonight, yet again, pro-EU voters mass in #Tbilisi, protesting an election loss that poll monitors say was rigged by an increasingly authoritarian & pro-Russian government.
