Tibet lies between the core areas
of the ancient civilizations of China and India.
Extensive mountain ranges to the east of the Tibetan Plateau
mark the border with China,
and the towering Himalayas of Nepal and India
form a barrier between Tibet and India.
Tibet is nicknamed "the roof of the world" or "the land of snows".
--------------------------------------------
Five hundred years before Buddha Sakyamuni came into this world i.e., circa 1063 B.C., a semi-legendary figure known as Lord Shenrab Miwo reformed the primitive animism of the Shen race and founded the Tibetan Bon religion. According to Bonpo sources there were eighteen Shangshung Kings who ruled Tibet before King Nyatri Tsenpo. Tiwor Sergyi Jhagruchen was the first Shangshung King.
Shangshung, before its decline, was the name of an empire which comprised the whole of Tibet. The empire known as Shangshung Go-Phug-Bar-sum consisted of Kham and Amdo forming the Go or Goor, U and Tsang forming the Bar or Middle, and Guge Stod-Ngari Korsum forming the Phug or Interior.
As the Shangshung empire declined, a kingdom known as Bod, the present name of Tibet, came into existence at Yarlung and Chongyas valleys at the time of King Nyatri Tsenpo, who started the heroic age of the Chogyals (Religious Kings). Bod grew until the whole of Tibet was reunited under King Songtsen Gampo, when tha last Shangshung King, Ligmigya, was killed.
The official Tibetan Royal Year of the modern Tibetan calendar is dated from the enthronement of King Nyatri Tsenpo in 127 B.C. This lineage of Tibetan monarchy continued for well over a thousand years till King Tri Wudum Tsen, more commonly known as Lang Darma, was assassinated in 842 A.D.
Most illustrious of the above kings were Songtsen Gampo, Trisong Detsen and Ralpachen. They are called the Three Great Kings.

White Mountain Temple is the seventh album of Romerium.
This time romerium made some musical impressions about temples and this land of snows,
together with guest musician Lomita which made a almost 20 minutes impression.
Its a collection of some fine ambient tracks with meditative influences,silent white winds, mysterious bells,
mellow paths and monks singing and praying,
and there are also some symphonic melodic tracks
with voices and percussion.
Track 4 is from Lomita, more of her musical works at
