Three Gojoseon kingdoms are described in some alternative history texts, although not accepted by mainstream historians. Gojoseon (고조선, B.C. 2333- B.C. 108) is the first state of Korea that was established around Manchuria and Korean peninsula, and is a united kingdom composed of three confederacies of Gojoseon such as Majoseon (마조선), Jinjoseon (진조선) and Beonjoseon(번조선). Three confederacy is also called as Mahan, Jinhan and Beonhan. However, they must be discriminated from Samhan, because the Samhan (the three confederacies Mahan, Byeonhan, and Jinhan) existed in central and southern Korean Peninsula, from around the time of Gojoseon's fall until fully absorbed by the Three Kingdoms of Korea around the 4th century CE.
The Gyuwon Sahwa and the controversial text of Hwandan Gogi describe Gojoseon as consisting of Majoseon (마조선), Jinjoseon (진조선) and Beonjoseon(번조선), which were also called as Mahan, Jinhan and Beonhan, respectively. The three confederacies of Gojoseon are thus called Samjoseon (Three Joseon) or prior Samhan to distinguish it from the posterior Samhan (Three Han).
Territory of Three Confederacies
Majoseon was located at the Korean peninsula, Jinjoseon was located at Manchuria, and Beojoseon was located at the around of Liaoning. The Dangun (단군) governed Jinjoseon by himself, and the other two Gojoseons such as Majoseon and Beonjoseon are allowed to be governed by vice Danguns (부단군). Because Bejoseon is neighborhood of China, Chinese history usually calls Gojoseon or simplyh Joseon when they are refer to Beonjoseon. In addition, they also called Jin when they refer to Jinjoseon. Therefore, Gija and Wiman are caused from the misunderstanding of three confederacy of Gojoseon by ]. Actually, Dangun allowed Gija and Wiman to rule over the Beonjoseon because they are originally dong-i (동이).
Gojoseon is developed based on the bronze ware, and continue to the Iron Age. The territory of three Gojoseons can be known by their unique style bronze sword. i.e., mandolin-shaped dagger (비파형동검, 琵琶形銅劍). The mandolin-shape dagger is found in around Liaoning, Manchuria and Korean peninsula. It proves that three Gojoseons territory at least cover the area in the map. Furthermore, the shape of the mandolin-shape dagger of Gojoseon are very different from those found in China. In addition, the composition of bronze of Gojoseon contains much more tin than that of China. These prove that the culture of bronze of Gojoseon are very different from Chinese bronze ware so that they are not affected by Chinese bronze culture.
Jinjoseon
Asadal (아사달) was a captial city of Jinjoseon governed by Dangun, and the other two Joseons such as Majoseon and Beonjoseon are governed by the vice Danguns.
