大家好，我是TheAsiaN的记者王璇，很高兴为大家介绍 TheAsiaN的最新新闻。 人类有动物般可供奔跑的四肢，人类有鸟儿般可在天空翱翔的翅膀，人类有鱼儿般可在海洋里自由呼吸的双腮，人类有充满梦想的大脑。所以人类代表了天地间万物之间永恒的存在。 如同今日的我如前人般生存，明日的人类也将追随我昔日的影子。 这是韩国东国大学尹明喆教授在《韩国海洋史》序言中所写的关于人生的一段感慨。 作为韩国著名探险航海家的尹明喆教授一直追求通过航海的方式将东亚文明联系在一起，因此创建了名为“东亚地中海文明”的史学理论。 今年，在经过了一番准备以后他将于5月初由菲律宾出发乘坐亲自带领探险队员制作的竹筏“东亚文明号”，经由-台湾-冲绳-济州-最后到达丽水，而竹筏也将在丽水世界博览会上展出。 而尹明喆所著《韩国海洋史》也已经本人由翻译成中文，在今年的下半年同中国读者见面。 如果您想知道详细的信息，请关注我们的网站www.theAsiaN.asia 谢谢您的关注。
