Ancient cliff stone carvings found in Nyingchi

14 cliff stone carvings were newly found well-preserved in Gongbo Gyamda County of Nyingchi Prefecture in Tibet.

The highest one found is about 3.9 meters long, 2.53 meters wide while the smallest is 0.45 meters long and 0.25 meters wide. Preliminary detection puts the history to the middle of the 15th century, deserving high academic and artistic values.

Local department for cultural heritages protection has immediately protected the scene to prevent it from being damaged and taken action for record.
