The sky caves of Mustang Chambers cut high in the cliffs of Upper Mustang, some of them tombs with gold masks, and a sky-burial reading that borrows a living Himalayan rite for bones two millennia old. -
Lumbini Under the Maya Devi temple, a line of postholes dated by radiocarbon to the 8th through 6th centuries BC, read as the earliest Buddhist tree shrine and as an older sacred fence that does not date the Buddha.
Considered, and not given a room
A room is for a place with a real open question and enough published evidence to weigh both sides. These were looked at and left as notes, so they are not invisible.
- Paintings and Buddhist manuscripts of the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries in other Mustang caves are a later use of the same cliffs as the masked burials. They are not the sky-burial question. Lumbini’s timber shrine is a different valley and now has its own room at Lumbini. Dhaulagiri Journal.
