CONTENTS
DESCRIPTION
The first survey of its kind based on ancient manuscripts from Dunhuang and told in a modern Tibetan voice, this book starts with an examination of the dynasty's prehistoric origins and then proceeds to trace the line of Pugyal emperors from the dynasty's founder Nyathri Tsenpo in the 5th century BCE, until the empire's collapse following the assassination of the last emperor Uidum Tsenpo (Lang Darma) in the 9th century CE.
