This empirical approach to Tibetan history adds a crucial layer to the textual sources of information, providing a means to independently evaluate the content and tone of literary materials. One of the most remarkable achievements of the author is demonstrating how highly developed western Tibet had become long before the advent of Buddhism in the seventh century CE. The evidence suggests that the early trappings of civilization extended well beyond the locations recorded in Buddhist and Bon literature, encompassing much of Tibet north and west of Lhasa.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ADITYA PRAKASHAN Indological Publishers \u0026 Booksellers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50081415856432,"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.jpg?v=1756300614","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","provider":"Retail Maharaj","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
