List of emperors of Tibet Totally Explained

Everything about List Of Emperors Of Tibet totally explained

The traditional list of the ancient Tibetan rulers consists of 42 names. The first 26 rulers are considered to belong to the realm of legend, as there's no sufficient evidence of their existence, but modern scholars believe that the kings from no. 27 to no. 32 were historical. The rulers from no. 33 to no. 42 are well-documented in many reliable Tibetan and foreign sources. A unified Tibetan state didn't exist before the times of the kings no. 31, 32, and 33. The earlier rulers, known as the Yarlung dynasty, were probably just local chiefs in the Yarlung valley area, certainly not emperors of Tibet.
In the list the common transliteration is given first, the academic one in brackets.
