    Thanks for this video. According to some authors, including Chinese the Tang Royal family did not want to give a princess to a barbarian king . At that the Tibetan emperor was too powerful to reject, so the Tang Emperor sent a niece as his daughter ( source Chinese).

    I imagine that much art and many monuments have been unfortunately lost in the events of the 1950's but it is wonderful to see what has been preserved. Thank you for the wonderful presentation of the history and culture of Tibet.

    Actually no The tibetan empire tookover zhangzhung and sumpa then requisted the tang empire for a bride but was ignored and the azha kingdom was given a chinese bride so the songtsen gampo tookover the Azha kingdom and fought the tang dynasty, the then tang dynasty was scared and gave away one of the princess to songtsen gampo (princess Wenchen)

    The Potala is "Butugel" (бүтээл or ᠪᠦᠲᠦᠭᠡᠯ) in Mongolian language, which means the creation. Actually the fifth Dalai lama initiated the palace rebuilding and renovation (also expansion) and passed away. Tibetan prime minister Sangey Gyatso hid Dalai lama's death and ruled the country for 15 years. During these years, Sangey Gyatso and Mongolian Gushri khan's widow wife (khatun) completed building the whole palace. Western Mongolia was huge patronage for building this palace. However, Tibetans and Chinese hide to talk about historical realities and are distributed with incomplete versions.

    Songsten married Chinese princess with the show of Tibetan might. Songsten Gampo and all suceedong Tibetan emperor sent youth to study in India not China. Tibetan knew to that India was the land of Buddha and famous monastic universities like Nalanda. Chinese to went to India to study. Tibetan literature will prove its connection to India. Much of what you said is lies of CCP propaganda churnout sonce thevdays of Mao Tsetung occupayion of Tibet in 1950.
