Lost Caves of Mustang - Ancient Tibet

Whats the point of showing your children? They would do better at school

it's nice that you're using your climbing experience to serve the native culture

Foreign looters

Mustang was not the part of ancient Tibet

Those caves are made by an advanced civilization before the great flood.

Excellent documentary 👏👏👏

tibet tore apart and by eaten by china, india and nepal

“Unexpected Snow Storm?!?!” 😂
My man, SOMETHING WAS TRYING TO STOP YOU.

Is there a continuation documentary on the transcripts?

Last month I've beeen to there such a wonderful place

looks like they want it left alone

How do you imagine the images lighter than they are painted

Fuck I want to go there ... But unfortunately for me . No Rock climbing.

mustang was a separate kingdom Not a Tibetan ... Today It is part of Unified Nepal n they all are proud to be.

Brilliant documentary .

Keep it up

government should protect it and do more research about it and we must promote and advertise about it in world

In Nepal there are more ancient treasures yet to be found

If you remove a rock this will disable whole mountain that's what a river does... Rivers dont climb mountains but destroys what it comes on the way.... Human need's to understand...

They are a post deluge society. When the great flood happened, it collected in valleys and didn't drain out for decades. The people that farmed in the valley below, either died, or made homes in the cliff.

For reference, I'm talking about the end of the ice age, when sea levels rose a couple hundred feet. I'm really speaking RIGHT after or "during" you could say.

I'm no geologist, but if you fill up that valley with water, it's miniscis will meet the bottom level of caves....falling off was meaningless to them, they would have fallen into water. It probably stayed that way for 10-50 years.

This also explains it's abandonment, as it got harder and harder to get into your house or village you would eventually move. Not to mention, the population could have begun to boom again.

The cataclysm that caused their way of living was bound to have taken the old, the weak, the infirm. Leaving uneducated, unskilled people behind (for the most part).

The culture survives in their memory, and was continued as best they remember.

If you are reading this, and have more resource than I...check the valley floor with lidar from the air, look for a grid pattern. You may have to satellite spectroscopy.

Btw the title is misguiding in the sense that tibet is part of china and mustang locates in Nepal

Om Mani Padme Hum

Very well done, but why the hell yoy are damaging the outwalls of the caves . . I cant see that, its hurtful. . Find some other way to get in. Ppl trying the same way will destory this beautiful place in a v short time. Plz.

This is the restricted kingdom in Nepal

It seems Aliens lived here.

Just returned from this cool place 1 week ago this place seems like another planet
Like heaven

How to named Mustang?

I heard they saw aliens there around 90s

It’s not Buddhism but it is Bön Religion where Bön monks lived there but scriptures were destroyed which means enemies destroyed everything and people too.

Lost Caves of Mustang - Ancient Tibet,,, Suggest to change the topics its Lost Caves of Mustang - Ancient Nepal..... Mustang is in Nepal not in China & Tibet.. Nepal is independent country...

Your documentary is good.But I felt really bad when the people are demanding for the money, yeah, it is good to show the curiosity about the actual matter for the protection of ancient valuable things, But here its seems like that, their intention is only to get money. On the behalf of those villagers, I want to say sorry.

Love this !!! As a Mountaineers our interest is most in Himalayas hidden Mystery of Shangri-La !

Having explored parts of Tibet, my wife and I are so happy that you made this sacrifice with your young family to bring this to us. Pioneers like you make it easier for people like us to solve many puzzles.

I was reading a song of realization from an ancient Tibetan master, and in one of the verses he mentions they made these cliffside cave dwellings hard to access due to Mongol bandits coming in from the north and causing havock.

The very same concept indicated in olden tamil lyrics, people from Lemuria left (submerged Kumari continent) before hit by a huge meteor to the Mustang mud hills, when the whole world covered by water.

Wouldnt it be better to start from the top of these cliffs, anchor in, then rapel down? Im not an expert but it seems safer/easier.

30 days! might as well have 30 minutes!

Waw..Really Wounderful mytriouse

It’s not the people of Nepal it’s just sherpas man that’s Sherpa language 🤦🏻‍♂️. Knowing that most people from my generation have forgotten about this is so disappointing. I don’t even know if Wikipedia has information about sherpas and our past and heritage. I feel British but a sense of myself makes me want to just make a stand for this issue.

Soon changes will come

Those caves were probably built my sherpas who are in that area. In Nepal the Indian decedent people who look brown, known as chettry and Bauns. A majority of the people in the country look down on sherpas and use terms such as bhote. Sherpas decent from Tebet and the areas around it. We are also Buddhist and if you go to any Buddhist area in Nepal you will see sherpas and they live near the Himalayas. Most monks are also sherpas and we have our own language which is very similar to Tibetan. The food is also similar so. Sherpas were most likely to have been the ones who built the caves and lived in them aswell. The people there are also sherpas as they are speaking Nepalese in a Sherpa accent.
The government of Nepal profits from sherpas with climbing and mountaineering. The state of the country and the lack of development in those regions of the country.

I don’t see why others the people from the other casts think they are entitled to the money that comes from the Himalayas. They have no right to be proud and say they we are all Nepalese when a our people do something.

As sherpas are Buddhist and are peaceful they haven’t done anything until yet. However times are changing, there are thousands of Sherpas growing up abroad due to the mountaineering success. Most of them are in America. Theres a minority in the United Kingdom, where I grew up. My own family members are in the Nepali government and a my aunt is one of the leading eye doctors in the country.
Slowly but surely sherpas will get the rightful treatment that they deserve.

My people back at home will get the compensation they deserve and the respect they should have had a long time ago.

Ive been looking for this documentary for years finally I found it

One thing I can't understand that Buddha born in Nepal but in different climatic region but why most of them are in Himalayan these Buddhist. Did Buddha saw these huge Himalayas in his life
Why is it like that.

The painting and the colour that they put on the wall are Magnificent. Still after hundred and thousands of year they are so refreshing as if they are saying something or giving a message to the viewer. Thank you for making it happen bringing it to the people who can't go there to witness by themselves..... And the work of @Proper_Gander is beautiful. Love FroM ThE ToP Of ThE WoRlD 8848🇳🇵❤✌

A very nice documentary but the murals in the caves of mustang, a part of nepal arent the tibetan art.they are the newar art originated by newars, the native of kathmandu. the capital city nepal..

The video editor must be indian, because the real another videos I have already Wached they didn't say tibet, they have said history of buddha in Nepal

I will discover remaining when i become an archelogist .
I will do for my country, i wont let foreigners do .

Mustang is now in Nepal but was in Tibet during ancient times. The lost kingdom of Tibet...

Wrong Titel: Titel fixed => Western Media show how foreiners are bribing rich Neplese Anarchists for their own benifits. Then it represents that the "normal Villagers" are the main problem there. And I thought only Indian Media is Trash.
