- Highlights from the BFI National Archive's extensive collection of films shot in Tibet prior to the Chinese occupation can now be seen in the BBC/BFI co-production, 'The Lost World of Tibet' (2008). Featuring a potent interview with the Dalai Lama an extended version the documentary is available to buy on DVD from the BFI Filmstore - filmstore.bfi.org.uk/acatalog/...
This film was shot by Sir Basil Gould who succeeded Derek Williamson as Political Officer of Sikkim, Bhutan and Tibet in 1935. His films record two visits to Lhasa. The first, Lhasa (1936), shows his Diplomatic Mission to the Tibetan capital. His cameraman Frederick Spencer Chapman was commissioned by the BFI in 1937 to write an article for Sight and Sound magazine describing that visit ("Tibetan Horizon"). The film features an intriguing sequence of Tibetan women playing darts. (Jan Faull)

Fabulous. Now I understand what Robert Byron meant when he wrote that it couldn't be mere coincidence that the country (Russia) which, of all countries, most embraced industrial progress, should also be the greyest, whilst the one (Tibet) that, of all the countries in the world, most resisted it, should also be the most colourful.
This BFI channel is wonderful. Thanks.
Such a beautiful time and place.
Precious and amazing scenes! I love to watch this.
Wow I absolutely Love Their Clothes!
yes it says its closed
why?
The Yuan Dynasty (Chinese: 元朝; pinyin: Yuáncháo; Mongolian: Dai Ön Ulus/Дай Юан Улс), or Great Yuan Empire (simplified Chinese: 大元国; traditional Chinese: 大元國; pinyin: Dà Yuán Diguó) was both the continuation of the Mongol Empire and the Mongol founded historical state in Mongolia and China

Either the Polynesians or the tibetians where the first pre inca or Hawaiian

the great wall is indeed interessting
The original hanging gardens of eden Mt kylash
how comes they didnt build the wall around tibet?
is that a yes or a no??
because at primary school, you learn to answer
The ice at the south pole was a bridge between Asia and South America ice ages happen every 15.000 years chicken bones not native to South america where carbon dated between 60.000 and 80.000 years ago as the first inhabitants of pre inca
Japan's megaliths are older than the inca
There was another lost world War in ancient times that's why you still see megaliths in certain areas remaining it's a left over from many lost eras civilization has been reset and nearly completely erraticated 33 times in pre history
It is strange, when the atomic bomb & the 1st jet planes were being built, people were still living like this. Yet, it is not jet planes which reached these people. It was an already long discredited 19th cent. economic & political theory being carried by murderous fanatics. It is not atomic bombs which are the most destructive forces in this world.
china created a tourist disneyland called LHASA with chinese brothels
nice
TheMightyGuri fuck Chinese government.
really? :)
A lost world now. But it wasn't a perfect Shangri-la. It was feudal and often cruel. Still it is lamentable that it's development has been arrested by an imperialist ideology that destroyed the good along with the bad.
Feudal or caste system it was in all countries not only in Tibet and I have asked my grandparents about this they said they were happy in Tibet before Chinese invasion and with time Tibet would have developed eventually just like we accepted Buddhism!
but mongols conquered china in yuan dinasty, which was BEFORE ming.... so therefore its not a hollow point
and di you saw a MING dinasty with tibet being a part of the ming empire?? if not, why not?
ask yourself :) the answer is right here at my writings
"the Ming emporors were taoists and since did not care for tibet"
what was the majority of china at this time??
Photograhic proof that there is not a single chinese in Tibet before Maos invasion
"but whatever they call themselves, China and Tibet was one country!"
yes, under a mongolian rule
after yuan, both declared independence
and there is a peace treaty between china and tibet since 821 B.C which was broken by the communists in 1949
dont try to teach me history
"then why did the ming and Qing dynastys send mandarins to oversee the daily lives of the tibetans"
because yuan was mongolian rule and qing was manchurian rule
"why does Qing and ROC maps both show Tibet as being in China? and how that 1913 treaty with mongolia happen? when mongolia declared independance in 1924?"
qing conquered china and tibet :)
search for MING dinasty, a true Han rule and check if tibet is part of it... that was after yuan and qing
maybe if you ask them nice?
im not american
Pre inca where Tibetan
we still have the death penalty also, one of the few Industralized countries that do. Just sayin!
Ww3 is actually ww33
and to back up my teachings a little bit more...
are you chinese?? what means "yuan" ?? :)
translate it for us please
yeah, thats right! a mongolian who ruled over tibet and china at the same time :) you're right
how does that make tibet a part of china??
isnt it like tibet and china were part of mongolian empire?
use your brain little more please
its sooo easy
@FalunGongIsAmazing: it is the stupidity of one party rule which is the ultimate cause of all those things. A small band of elite leaders, unanswerable to the subjects they rule, who are insulated by vast distance from the real consequences of their policies. The population is irrelevant to their environmental damage. In terms of scale, people to land area, Taiwan is far more densely populated. It was hearing the zero population hysteria from the West in the 70s which caused this policy.
"Tibet was ruled since the Yuan Dynasty with periods of political unrest when the Daily llama assumes power"
false information... yes it was ruled since yuan dinasty! but nut from HAN chinese, but MONGOLIANS! the same MONGOLIANS ruled over CHINA at the same TIME!
check history
and? is that a excuse? you wanna build on that or do you protest against racist discrimination?
how does it feel to be part of a nation which is doing the same shit today that white europeans did centurys before???
