Introduction The Tibetan plateau has been inhabited for thousands of years but the identity of earliest people is still a mystery. The chapter includes an excellent article "Ancient Tibet" which describes in detail the formation of the plateau, geology, geography, seismic activities, climate, etc. This was a study undertaken by Yeshe De project. It also discusses history, ancient inhabitants, their culture, religion, etc. The chapter also includes several one or two page articles where references to Rushabhdev and Jain religion are mentioned. Records of early Han and Jian history and their relationship are discussed. Dr. Thomas Parmar describes his visit to Library of Tibetan works and Archives (LTWA) in Dharamsala, H.P. where he met several Tibetan scholars and obtained research information related to Ashtapad project. Finally, a study of some symbols common in Jain and Tibetan and their significance is compared and discussed. A glossary of Tibetan words makes it easy to understand common Tibetan words, when one visits the Mt. Kailash area. Photos about Nature's beauty-Panoramic views of landscapes around Kailash area are given here.
