the real issue with Tibet is not high atitude, you can always hire local to fight for you, the issue is logistic. logistic is greatly underestimated in history. the rise and fall of dynasty is frequently due to logistic changes. such as when shifting weather pattern push grain production centers further from the capital, this weaken the desire keep the army at the capital as it would be expensive to move food to the capital. the grand canal is build just to improve logistic. but how do chinese bring goods and supplies in to tibet? the mongol frequently conquer the tibetan, they ain't use to high atitude either, but they can ride on their "food", this is why they can be successful, it is a logistic problem. Tibet is a good and under cover topic that is worth more discussion.

@@MohamedRamadan-qi4hl They most certainly did not. Islam is the only religion that on a daily basis, multiple times a day slaughters innocent people, beheads journalists, stabs cartoonists, shoots people sipping lattes at cafes, blows up market places of innocent people including innocent women and children, mutilates the genitalia of teenage girls, has men that tell women what to wear and whether they can travel unchaperoned, drive, or vote, has adult men marrying 12-year old girls, flies planes into buildings, burns people alive, etc. Islam is the most barbaric, evil, immoral, sick ideology on the planet.

And then many many eons later universe born again that is hot Naraka and cycle goes on. This is the Buddhist cosmology of the Samsaric cycle.
well the Manchu not only conquered them in the 1700s but kept Tibet until early 1900s. Mongols were just good at conquering but not holding territory for a long time
I’ve always interpreted the Tibetan Founding myth as a story of Homo sapiens meeting what we now know as Denisovans and founding what we now know as the Tibetan people. I don’t deny I’m probably wrong but I like the idea and it doing really hurt anything so I go with it.
It was more like a different group completely unrelated to proto-sino-Tibetans (because they didn’t exist yet) encountered Denisovans and mixed up with them a bit while causing them disappearing. They continued to exist in the region for a couple of thousands of years until proto-Tibetans arrived and mixed up with them while causing those groups to disappear.
Earliest of the early Tibetan skulls found show some degree of interbreeding between homo sapiens and another unknown homo species, other than neanderthal. The popular theory is Denisovans from Southern Siberia migrated Southwards to Tibet where they mixed with Cro-Magnons to form Modern Tibetans,Mongols, Altai people. Denisovan DNA can be found in Papuans in the highest concentration, but how it reached and why Papuans still look different than other groups carrying Denisovan DNA is still a big mystery. But thanks to CCP's "all Han policy" Tibetans would probably be all gone before we solve this mystery. The yeti, Altai apeman, Badmanou and other such cryptids could be the last remaining Denisovan or some sort of ancient hybrid tribe.
@@PaulAllen6304 I personally think as an autistic person that I constitute a separate hominid and that I have a different way of processing and relating and that a unique set of normalized behaviours is a component part of speciation. Because we know that homo sapien has interbred with at three different hominid species under the current definition we would all be one species. Another question I have is are extra terrestrials actual extra terrestrial? Why would a more developed hominid want to interact with us? What would they gain? Any answer you come up with they have technology and understanding far beyond ours that renders that point moot. Not to mention the fact that we’d be a bunch of twats and try to take their stuff. I’m not saying any of what I say is 100% factually accurate but I’ve yet to see conclusive proof to disprove it. Once you remove all that’s impossible everything else is equally possible, not necessarily probable. But possible none the less and must be given equal consideration in the interest of a true and complete answer. And for everyone that is skeptical…..if you discovered something that disproved a deeply held personal belief that you hold on faith…. What would you do? You would destroy it in rage. I, as a homo Felidae am more interested in being a factually correct contrarian than validating any one belief I hold. I hold very few as inalienable. Like that I’ve been accused of being a genius for decades so you don’t get to turn around now and tell me I’m broken and wrong because without really trying I pointed out inconvenient oversights that invalid years of effort and that pisses Homo sapiens off. I have no issues being wrong, please explain it to me so I can understand. Since I guess I’m a genius, other peoples words not mine, that means if you’re an expert by definition you should understand it well enough to be able to explain it to me so I can understand. If you can’t then you can’t really claim to be an expert. (I have said no where you have to. My comment is on capability, not intent. It’s how I know who else is a homo Felidae. They understand the concept the point of consideration and know I picked my words very carefully. They understand what I’m referring to instinctively. 🤷♀️)

@@tasse0599 Bold of you to assume I meant something so uncharitable. I was referencing the tendency, not to mispronounce by approximation (pronouncing "Xiran" as "Shiran"), but to mispronounce because you assumed English orthography could be universally applied to anything spelled with the Latin alphabet (pronouncing "Xiran" as "Zee ran" or "Ex-Iran"). And, actually, the word that prompted this comment was an English word that native speakers often mispronounce. It's a loanword, though, so it follows the rules of its own language and not English. I was impressed CJ got it right! You really just look foolish for becoming provoked by a comment that...was an insult to nobody, and not even directed at you. 🤷♀️ Like...why do you care about my opinion so much you felt a need to contradict me? Broadcast your insecurity a little louder, there, mate.
@@benni_thien Aww, thank you! 😊 Yeah, I'm over these randos who take umbrage at my trivial comments. Like...it's just-baffling. Some people really act like their disagreement with my opinions is a life or death issue? I'm a nerd, not a Nazi. It's okay if you disagree with my opinion.
Many many foreign languages pronounce foreign words in their own accent. English is the international language so some extra effort should be aplauded but not expected to the point of reprimanding. Examples that come to mind are how foreign words are pronounced in French are frankified and foreign words in Japanese are japanified. It's simply what people are capable of doing most of the time.

@@GL-iv4rw I understand where you're coming from, but preventing people from studying history unless that history revolves around their own culture is too far. It is, ironically enough, racist. I do very much agree that the mainstream western perspective on a great many topics, especially those pertaining to the east, is a simplistic and wrongheaded perspective indeed, but without the freedom to seek this type of knowledge the situation cannot improve. Furthermore, while studying a culture and history you do not participate in has many pitfalls, studying a culture and history to which you are native has pitfalls of its own. For example, most countries deny any war crimes committed by their militaries, refusing to educate their own citizens about these events and sometimes actively suppressing information on the topic; and in general there is a risk of nationalistic pride skewing someone's perspective. If a native historian can look past their pride when it gets in the way of the truth, so can a foreign one.

Mates, all empires crumbled because if failed finances. Tibetan Empire no exception, as the land left idle because men went to become monks, and population shrank. Hastened the decline, they even joint forces with the Mongolians and Manchurians to conquer China Proper. Escaped from the hook, as Han Chinese just drive the Mongolians out. But, the Han Chinese toppled the Manchurian Empire all upside down, so inherit the empire which included Tibet. This is in accordance with the International laws. Had India toppled the British Empire all the way at London, then it inherits both Australia and Canada. Thumbs up.

Can you do a history of the Gar Clan in Tibet and what happened to their clan after some were chased to china. I know later that much later there was a Gara lama also known as Nora rinpoche who was at Riwoche in Kham who the yellow hats accused of being a chinese spy. He went to china and became an important figure who revived vajrayana in china. Chiang Kai Shek gave him control over Buddhism in nationalist china and he established a center in Sichuan (or Chongqing). Would love to hear a more nuanced history of that family.
Chinese sending a princess or other nations maybe requesting one for better relations sounds interesting. Orkhon inscriptions talk about a similar thing too.
（Heqing） send princess is actually quite a common policy of all Chinese dynasty, I think only Ming did not have this practice. It give Chinese dynasty some influences in foreign court, while foreign entities have assurance(hostage) they will be not be attacked and trade occur normalcy. It does not always work. Also, normally, it someone with royal blood but not direct offspring of the imperial family.
The vídeo is beautiful to watch, the subject is very interesting but ... Why you speak soooo fast?

Thats... curious how tibetans have legends that are basically humans evolving from apes and spreading around the world, while also mentioning ice age and etc. Kinda... strange. Interesting.
I know this is a really off topic question but I don't really know anyone else to come and ask it and Google wasn't of much help! What would you call someone obsessed with Asian culture apart from Japan or Korea? Around here we have Koreaboo's, Weeaboo's, even for Nazi Germany we have Wehraboo, I'd sincerely appreciate your input as I've heard other names but none seem to be quite standardized as the ones previously mentioned.
In Buddhist cosmology this planet, or even this universe, isn't the first. Others have already taken place and had Buddhas appear in them as happened historically on earth. Bodhisattvas like Avalokiteshvara then appear continuously to help lead beings to liberation whenever there are the circumstances to do so.
2:38 Nice segue lol. Edit: Very cool video also. The Tibetan empire is the Mithani empire of the east: epic, fascinating, mighty and utterly snobbed by history fans.
Awesome video as always my dudes. Also it'd be cool in the future to see you guys cover more of Southeast Asia ( perhaps Narai's embassy with King Louis XIV 8r discuss the rise and fall of the Angkor Wat/ just some of my favorite videos of yours was when you covered Majapahit and Vietnam).
Good stuff. Not many people know that Tibet had an empire that even managed to successfully invade Han China several times. Also, not many people know the history of the Dalai Lamas, which could be compared to that of the Pope, or at least a Patriarch, in the west.
lol The Tibetan Empire, collapsed in the late 9th century and never rose up to be a unified country again. The position of Dalai Lama was never remotely comparable to the Pope in terms of influence. Its See & lineage only started in early 15th century as the head of the Gelug school ("Yellow Hat") of Tibetan Buddhism. The sector remained obscure until late 16th century. By the time it reached its zenith in late 17th century, it enjoyed the status of being the most dominant religion in the regions of Khalkha Mongolia, Tuva, Dzungaria, Tarim Basin, and parts of Nepal and Bhutan. Not a single country on the list above had a population greater than 1 million. The office of Dalai Lama only briefly rose to political prominence during the rein of the Fifth Dalai Lama between 1640s and 1680s. Even during these decades the Dalai Lama was technically a vassal of the Khoshut Khans of Oriat Mongols who ruled over Tibet. The Khoshut princes took back the power from the regency appointed by the Great Fifth after his death. The subsequent factional struggle between the Dalai Lama's Gelug School and the rival Karmapa Lama's Karma Kagyu School (the "Red Hat") brought about Dzungarian occupation of Tibet, and finally the incorporation of Tibet into the Chinese Qing Empire in 1721. It was under the Qing's rule, the Gelug School was given the precedence over the other three schools and Dalai Lama was installed as both the religious leader and secular prince over the region of U-Tsang and Westnern Kham. The high name recognition of the title "Dalai Lama" among modern Westerners results from the great works of advocacy carried out by the incumbent 14th Dalai Lama and his associates, after the exile to the West of him and his followers in 1959. As popular as the 14th Dalai Lama has been in the past decades in the West, the image of influence he projects today is not a proportionally accurate reflection of the clout his office actually wielded in history. The analogy drawn between Lalai Lama of Lhasa and the Pontiff of Rome in terms of historical influence is utterly nonsensical.
@@fanuelcui1109 Sure, that's a good explanation, which is why I also included the caveat that he would "at least" be comparable to that of a Patriarch. I did not write the above as some sort of idolization of the Dalai Lama or the Tibetan Empire, but rather as perspective on the inherently and factually political and belligerent history of Tibet and its leadership. Are you sure you disagree with my position?
Very interesting video, I'd like to point out that speakers of the western tibetic branches speak one of the purest and archaic forms of the Tibetan language, these include people of Kinanur, Lahaul & Spiti, Ladakh, Zanskar, Ngari (Tibet), Gilgit and Baltistan and even those from Amdo. These regions are historically classified as "western tibet" , which was the land of the aryans or "Arya", the initial bon religion worshippers and followers of Tonpa Sherap, who was a Tajiki himself, having migrated from the Pamirs, and his disciples from the greater steppes of Central Asia and the Karakoram, the original inhabitants of Western Central Tibet (Ngari, Purang) and Ladakh, Baltistan, were all Indo Europeans, particularly Iranic people, in Ladakh known as the Mons, a people group closely related to Dards, who are found scattered all throughout Kashmir and POK, and northern Pakistan. The Bon religion is very similar to Zoroastrianism, you can see bon worshippers in the Iranic populations of Pakistan, Gilgit Baltistanis, etc. The region of Amdo is also very complex, the earliest settlers in the region were people related to the Scynthians, who were Iranic, who were great horsemen who used the great steppes to their advantage, mummifications and stone inscriptions are found all over Amdo and the Xinjiang Uyghur region. The Chinese have tried to destroy us and our heritage, but they will not take away our history. I would appreciate if you made another video about western tibetan regions and empires such as Guge, those of Ngari, Ladakh, Mustang Nepal, Zanskar, these are all regions where tibetan culture was born and modern day tibetan culture as we know it was adapted from, as well as the ancient Tibetan Bon religion and it's connections with Zoroastrianism and Persia.
Tibet is geographically Vast. Ancient Tibet does have connections with Persian, Indians & Arabs. But modern Tibetan were all Tibeto- Burman ethnic groups. Genetically Modern Tibetans were related to other East Asian population such as Chinese. Average Tibetan is 82% East Asian, 11% Central Asian with 8% others.
@@tsewangrinzin2421 "Tibeto-Burman" is not an ethnic group or a linguistic group, people can adopt languages, that doesn't change your genetic makeup. The oldest tibetans are found in Ladakh, they have dardic mixture, original tibetans are related to Iranic people groups. Common knowledge, the mongols swept out the native population of Central Asia.
@@tsewangrinzin2421 There is not enough research done on Tibetan people for you to come to a conclusion as such. Not to mention, people from every region of tibet has different genetic makeup, the most archaic tibetans are found in Western and northern tibet ( Amdo, Ngari, Changtang)
Tibetan were not related to Iranic people in a similar way as Northern Indians are. Linguist had noted a similarity between Tibetan, Burmese & Chinese language. With the exception of some Buddhist terms, Tibetan language is not related to neither India nor Persia. Even if we look at old Tibetan from Dunhuang manuscripts of 8th century, the Tibetan as a language hardly changed. I read couple Tibetan manuscripts of 8th century. Even the Mongols like tribes were present since the beginning in the Eurasian steppe. It is only 11th Century, with the rise of Genghis khan, the Mongols became a Global force even conquering Tibet & China. But the Mongols had not swept the native of Tibet. The Dunhuang manuscripts predates the rise of Mongols.
@@tsewangrinzin2421 Northern India is inhabited by Tibetic people groups too. Also, learn to separate language and ones ancestry. You could speak a Indo-euroepan language but still be from a turkic dominant country and have turkic ancestry or vice versa. Ancient Tibetan language is very complicated, if you want to udenrstand ancient tibetan language and culture take a look at Ladakh. NO, the natives of the Central Asia particularly northern tibet were the tocharians, not mongol people. The Mongols dispopulated ALL of the region, don't get it twisted
Are they unchallenged by external forces because they’re actually “mighty” or simply because of geography? They didn’t seem to win any significant battles or conquer territories outside of the Tibetan plateau, the times they win against Tang China is because the Tang are more focused elsewhere or are experiencing a potential dynasty-ending rebellion lol. It just seems like the other major powers around them didn’t care too much about the Tibetan plateau to try and conquer them seriously.

I've done some academic study of Tibetan Buddhism and even tried (And failed) to learn Standard Tibetan, so seeing this makes me extremely happy!
I’ve always interpreted the Tibetan Founding myth as a story of Homo sapiens meeting what we now know as Denisovans and founding what we now know as the Tibetan people. I don’t deny I’m probably wrong but I like the idea and it doing really hurt anything so I go with it.
It was more like a different group completely unrelated to proto-sino-Tibetans (because they didn’t exist yet) encountered Denisovans and mixed up with them a bit while causing them disappearing. They continued to exist in the region for a couple of thousands of years until proto-Tibetans arrived and mixed up with them while causing those groups to disappear.
Earliest of the early Tibetan skulls found show some degree of interbreeding between homo sapiens and another unknown homo species, other than neanderthal.
The popular theory is Denisovans from Southern Siberia migrated Southwards to Tibet where they mixed with Cro-Magnons to form Modern Tibetans,Mongols, Altai people. Denisovan DNA can be found in Papuans in the highest concentration, but how it reached and why Papuans still look different than other groups carrying Denisovan DNA is still a big mystery.
But thanks to CCP's "all Han policy" Tibetans would probably be all gone before we solve this mystery.
The yeti, Altai apeman, Badmanou and other such cryptids could be the last remaining Denisovan or some sort of ancient hybrid tribe.

@@PaulAllen6304 I personally think as an autistic person that I constitute a separate hominid and that I have a different way of processing and relating and that a unique set of normalized behaviours is a component part of speciation. Because we know that homo sapien has interbred with at three different hominid species under the current definition we would all be one species.
Another question I have is are extra terrestrials actual extra terrestrial? Why would a more developed hominid want to interact with us? What would they gain? Any answer you come up with they have technology and understanding far beyond ours that renders that point moot. Not to mention the fact that we’d be a bunch of twats and try to take their stuff. I’m not saying any of what I say is 100% factually accurate but I’ve yet to see conclusive proof to disprove it. Once you remove all that’s impossible everything else is equally possible, not necessarily probable. But possible none the less and must be given equal consideration in the interest of a true and complete answer.
And for everyone that is skeptical…..if you discovered something that disproved a deeply held personal belief that you hold on faith…. What would you do? You would destroy it in rage. I, as a homo Felidae am more interested in being a factually correct contrarian than validating any one belief I hold. I hold very few as inalienable. Like that I’ve been accused of being a genius for decades so you don’t get to turn around now and tell me I’m broken and wrong because without really trying I pointed out inconvenient oversights that invalid years of effort and that pisses Homo sapiens off. I have no issues being wrong, please explain it to me so I can understand. Since I guess I’m a genius, other peoples words not mine, that means if you’re an expert by definition you should understand it well enough to be able to explain it to me so I can understand. If you can’t then you can’t really claim to be an expert. (I have said no where you have to. My comment is on capability, not intent. It’s how I know who else is a homo Felidae. They understand the concept the point of consideration and know I picked my words very carefully. They understand what I’m referring to instinctively. 🤷♀️)

Are you expecting english speakers to use sounds they don't have in their inventory?
@@tasse0599 Bold of you to assume I meant something so uncharitable. I was referencing the tendency, not to mispronounce by approximation (pronouncing "Xiran" as "Shiran"), but to mispronounce because you assumed English orthography could be universally applied to anything spelled with the Latin alphabet (pronouncing "Xiran" as "Zee ran" or "Ex-Iran").
And, actually, the word that prompted this comment was an English word that native speakers often mispronounce. It's a loanword, though, so it follows the rules of its own language and not English. I was impressed CJ got it right!

Many many foreign languages pronounce foreign words in their own accent. English is the international language so some extra effort should be aplauded but not expected to the point of reprimanding.

@@GL-iv4rw I understand where you're coming from, but preventing people from studying history unless that history revolves around their own culture is too far. It is, ironically enough, racist.
I do very much agree that the mainstream western perspective on a great many topics, especially those pertaining to the east, is a simplistic and wrongheaded perspective indeed, but without the freedom to seek this type of knowledge the situation cannot improve.
Furthermore, while studying a culture and history you do not participate in has many pitfalls, studying a culture and history to which you are native has pitfalls of its own. For example, most countries deny any war crimes committed by their militaries, refusing to educate their own citizens about these events and sometimes actively suppressing information on the topic; and in general there is a risk of nationalistic pride skewing someone's perspective.
If a native historian can look past their pride when it gets in the way of the truth, so can a foreign one.

He went to china and became an important figure who revived vajrayana in china. Chiang Kai Shek gave him control over Buddhism in nationalist china and he established a center in Sichuan (or Chongqing). Would love to hear a more nuanced history of that family.
Chinese sending a princess or other nations maybe requesting one for better relations sounds interesting. Orkhon inscriptions talk about a similar thing too.
It is Tibet first required a princess from Tang Dynasty. Tang refused first then two fought

It give Chinese dynasty some influences in foreign court, while foreign entities have assurance(hostage) they will be not be attacked and trade occur normalcy. It does not always work. Also, normally, it someone with royal blood but not direct offspring of the imperial family.

Good stuff. Not many people know that Tibet had an empire that even managed to successfully invade Han China several times. Also, not many people know the history of the Dalai Lamas, which could be compared to that of the Pope, or at least a Patriarch, in the west.
lol
The Tibetan Empire, collapsed in the late 9th century and never rose up to be a unified country again.
The position of Dalai Lama was never remotely comparable to the Pope in terms of influence. Its See & lineage only started in early 15th century as the head of the Gelug school ("Yellow Hat") of Tibetan Buddhism. The sector remained obscure until late 16th century. By the time it reached its zenith in late 17th century, it enjoyed the status of being the most dominant religion in the regions of Khalkha Mongolia, Tuva, Dzungaria, Tarim Basin, and parts of Nepal and Bhutan. Not a single country on the list above had a population greater than 1 million. The office of Dalai Lama only briefly rose to political prominence during the rein of the Fifth Dalai Lama between 1640s and 1680s. Even during these decades the Dalai Lama was technically a vassal of the Khoshut Khans of Oriat Mongols who ruled over Tibet. The Khoshut princes took back the power from the regency appointed by the Great Fifth after his death. The subsequent factional struggle between the Dalai Lama's Gelug School and the rival Karmapa Lama's Karma Kagyu School (the "Red Hat") brought about Dzungarian occupation of Tibet, and finally the incorporation of Tibet into the Chinese Qing Empire in 1721. It was under the Qing's rule, the Gelug School was given the precedence over the other three schools and Dalai Lama was installed as both the religious leader and secular prince over the region of U-Tsang and Westnern Kham. The high name recognition of the title "Dalai Lama" among modern Westerners results from the great works of advocacy carried out by the incumbent 14th Dalai Lama and his associates, after the exile to the West of him and his followers in 1959.
As popular as the 14th Dalai Lama has been in the past decades in the West, the image of influence he projects today is not a proportionally accurate reflection of the clout his office actually wielded in history.
The analogy drawn between Lalai Lama of Lhasa and the Pontiff of Rome in terms of historical influence is utterly nonsensical.
@@fanuelcui1109 Sure, that's a good explanation, which is why I also included the caveat that he would "at least" be comparable to that of a Patriarch. I did not write the above as some sort of idolization of the Dalai Lama or the Tibetan Empire, but rather as perspective on the inherently and factually political and belligerent history of Tibet and its leadership. Are you sure you disagree with my position?

Very interesting video, I'd like to point out that speakers of the western tibetic branches speak one of the purest and archaic forms of the Tibetan language, these include people of Kinanur, Lahaul & Spiti, Ladakh, Zanskar, Ngari (Tibet), Gilgit and Baltistan and even those from Amdo. These regions are historically classified as "western tibet" , which was the land of the aryans or "Arya", the initial bon religion worshippers and followers of Tonpa Sherap, who was a Tajiki himself, having migrated from the Pamirs, and his disciples from the greater steppes of Central Asia and the Karakoram, the original inhabitants of Western Central Tibet (Ngari, Purang) and Ladakh, Baltistan, were all Indo Europeans, particularly Iranic people, in Ladakh known as the Mons, a people group closely related to Dards, who are found scattered all throughout Kashmir and POK, and northern Pakistan. The Bon religion is very similar to Zoroastrianism, you can see bon worshippers in the Iranic populations of Pakistan, Gilgit Baltistanis, etc. The region of Amdo is also very complex, the earliest settlers in the region were people related to the Scynthians, who were Iranic, who were great horsemen who used the great steppes to their advantage, mummifications and stone inscriptions are found all over Amdo and the Xinjiang Uyghur region. The Chinese have tried to destroy us and our heritage, but they will not take away our history. I would appreciate if you made another video about western tibetan regions and empires such as Guge, those of Ngari, Ladakh, Mustang Nepal, Zanskar, these are all regions where tibetan culture was born and modern day tibetan culture as we know it was adapted from, as well as the ancient Tibetan Bon religion and it's connections with Zoroastrianism and Persia.
Tibet is geographically Vast. Ancient Tibet does have connections with Persian, Indians & Arabs. But modern Tibetan were all Tibeto- Burman ethnic groups. Genetically Modern Tibetans were related to other East Asian population such as Chinese. Average Tibetan is 82% East Asian, 11% Central Asian with 8% others.
@@tsewangrinzin2421 "Tibeto-Burman" is not an ethnic group or a linguistic group, people can adopt languages, that doesn't change your genetic makeup. The oldest tibetans are found in Ladakh, they have dardic mixture, original tibetans are related to Iranic people groups. Common knowledge, the mongols swept out the native population of Central Asia.
@@tsewangrinzin2421 There is not enough research done on Tibetan people for you to come to a conclusion as such. Not to mention, people from every region of tibet has different genetic makeup, the most archaic tibetans are found in Western and northern tibet ( Amdo, Ngari, Changtang)
Tibetan were not related to Iranic people in a similar way as Northern Indians are. Linguist had noted a similarity between Tibetan, Burmese & Chinese language. With the exception of some Buddhist terms, Tibetan language is not related to neither India nor Persia. Even if we look at old Tibetan from Dunhuang manuscripts of 8th century, the Tibetan as a language hardly changed. I read couple Tibetan manuscripts of 8th century.
Even the Mongols like tribes were present since the beginning in the Eurasian steppe. It is only 11th Century, with the rise of Genghis khan, the Mongols became a Global force even conquering Tibet & China. But the Mongols had not swept the native of Tibet. The Dunhuang manuscripts predates the rise of Mongols.
@@tsewangrinzin2421 Northern India is inhabited by Tibetic people groups too. Also, learn to separate language and ones ancestry. You could speak a Indo-euroepan language but still be from a turkic dominant country and have turkic ancestry or vice versa. Ancient Tibetan language is very complicated, if you want to udenrstand ancient tibetan language and culture take a look at Ladakh. NO, the natives of the Central Asia particularly northern tibet were the tocharians, not mongol people. The Mongols dispopulated ALL of the region, don't get it twisted
Thank you for making this video sir.
wow i'm so curious
Damn that snake is thirsty. 😀
Are they unchallenged by external forces because they’re actually “mighty” or simply because of geography? They didn’t seem to win any significant battles or conquer territories outside of the Tibetan plateau, the times they win against Tang China is because the Tang are more focused elsewhere or are experiencing a potential dynasty-ending rebellion lol. It just seems like the other major powers around them didn’t care too much about the Tibetan plateau to try and conquer them seriously.
