About the Book
This book offers the first comprehensive inventory of pre-Buddhist monuments in western Tibet, drawing from actual surveys of the sites and the archaeological evidence gathered by the author. By taking an empirical approach to Tibetan history, the book presents a valuable complement to the textual sources of information, enabling an independent assessment of the content and tone of literary materials. The author’s most remarkable contribution is in demonstrating the advanced development of western Tibet before the arrival of Buddhism in the seventh century CE. The findings indicate that the early signs of civilization extended well beyond the locations mentioned in Buddhist and Bon literature, covering much of Tibet north and west of Lhasa.
