About the Book
This book is the first comprehensive inventory of pre-Buddhist monuments in western Tibet, based on actual surveys and archaeological evidence collected by the author. Offering an empirical approach to Tibetan history, it complements textual sources by providing an independent assessment of the content and tone of literary materials. One of the most notable contributions of the work is its demonstration of how highly developed western Tibet had become before the advent of Buddhism in the seventh century CE. The book reveals that early civilization extended far beyond locations recorded in Buddhist and Bon literature, encompassing much of Tibet north and west of Lhasa. Richly detailed and rigorously researched, it is an essential resource for scholars of Tibetan archaeology, history, and Buddhist studies.
