As a directly managed town ( schikhalsi, www. chikhalsi.org; ???), it is managed at the same levels as province government, as distinct from South Korean towns ( zeukbyeolsi, www. teukbyeolsi.org; ???) such as Seoul. Archeologists in 1955 found proof of archeological settlement in a large old settlement in the Pyongyang area, known as K?mtan-ni, from the time of the Jeulmun and Mumun ceramics.

Pyongyang is associated with the legendary town of Asadal (Hangul: ???; Hanja: ???) or Wanggeom-seong (Hangul: ???; Hanja: ???), the first major town of the second millenium B.C. of Gojoseon ("Old Joseon") according to the history of Korea from the Samgungnyusa of the thirteenth centuries. The relationship between the two could therefore have been claimed by DPRK for the use of propaganda.

Nevertheless Pyongyang became a big town in old Joséon. According to mythological sources, Pyongyang was established in 1122 BC on the site of the capitol of the divine Dangun Emperor. 26 ] It is likely that the territory of Pyongyang was part of Wiman Joseon, the briefest part of Gojoseon, who died in 108 B.C. when Gojoseon was conquered by the Han.

Pyongyang became the capitol of the Protectorate General to Pacify the East in 668, founded by the Tangynasty of China. Pyongyang lasted until the later Silla era, when it was salvaged by Wang Geon and declared the western capitol of Goryeo.

By 1890 the town had 40,000 residents. 29 ] It was the site of the Battle of Pyongyang during the First Sino-Japanese War that caused the devastation and de-population of much of the town. Beneath Japan's reign of the colonies, the town became an industry centre named in Japan Heij? (?? seen as ?????).

The Soviet army of 25 soldiers arrived in Pyongyang on 25 August 1945 and became the provisional capitol of the Provisional People's Committee for North Korea. 31 ] Pyongyang became the de facto North Korean capitol when it was founded in 1948. The Pyongyang administration tried to reconquer Seoul, the country's offical city.

Pyongyang was again badly injured in the Korea War, during which it was briefly invaded by southern troops from 19 October to 6 December 1950. This year the Ministry of Capital Construction Development was admitted to the Cabinet.

The tower in April 2012. Pyongyang during the Korean War was devastated and completely reconstructed according to a plan that reflects Kim Il-sung's visions.

This resulted in a town with broad tree-lined arcades and open spaces with terraces, tessellations and decorative ceiling. Although a building in Korea's vernacular slightly weakens this sense, its modern Russia reminds us of a town in Siberia in snowy winters. Roads are arranged in a north-south, east-west network, which gives the town an ordered look.

Northern Koreans used the Swedes' expertise with self-sufficient districts throughout the state and Pyongyang is no different.
