AIA National Lectures via Zoom
Join AIA on Wednesday, April 9, at 8 pm ET / 5 pm PT for Archaeology and the Tibetan/Himalayan Afterlife, featuring Mark Aldenderfer.
Since the early 20th century, historians and Tibetologists have analyzed religious documents detailing death rituals and beliefs about safe passage to the afterlife among the early peoples of the Himalayas. Historically, the archaeological record has provided little insight into these practices. However, recent discoveries have revealed significant findings that both challenge and support existing understandings, while also uncovering previously unknown traditions for both commoners and kings.
Content warning: This lecture contains images of graves and discussion of human remains.
We can’t wait to see you there! Can’t make the talk on April 9? Don’t worry! A recording will be made available on our AIA YouTube Channel.
