The book revisits the long-standing debate surrounding Zhang-zhung and challenges the idea that its language was simply a fabricated tradition of the Bonpos. Hummel proposes that Zhang-zhung may have represented a broad confederacy extending across parts of western and northeastern Tibet.
The book investigates Zhang-zhung, an ancient Tibetan kingdom closely associated with the Bon religion. Hummel examines references to Zhang-zhung in Tibetan religious texts, its possible geographical boundaries and the origins of its language. The study proposes new perspectives on the relationship between Zhang-zhung, western and northeastern Tibet, and the names of ancient Tibetan kings.
