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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ADITYA PRAKASHAN Indological Publishers \u0026 Booksellers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50139682701616,"sku":"DRG.AdityaPrakashan _9789380282572","price":2570.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0690\/9968\/4144\/files\/9789380282572_f447140e-7f8d-4385-9ec7-0346a7acd998.jpg?v=1757741311","url":"https:\/\/www.retailmaharaj.com\/products\/antiquities-of-zhang-zhung-a-comprehensive-inventory-of-pre-buddhist-archaeological-monuments-in-the-tibetan-upland-vol-1-archaic-residential-monuments-1","provider":"Retail Maharaj","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
