1000 Ad Buddah Rock Carving At Skardu Baltistan
Asia
Baltistan, there are numerous cultural monuments that date back to the pre-Islamic period in which Buddhism played an important role in Baltistan. One of the most important relics of Buddhism in Baltistan is known as the Buddha-rock, which is close to the road from the town of Skardu to Satpara lake. The rock relief to see at the center of a Buddha figure, has multiple, sometimes heavily damaged today Tibetan inscriptions, the eldest of whom was born before 1000 AD. Given the fact that Buddhism was prevalent in today's northern regions of Pakistan even before the formation of the Tibetan empire (7th century AD), is not excluded that this rock-relief was created before the annexation of Baltistan in the Tibetan kingdom and the Tibetan inscriptions engraved at a later date were. The rock relief at Skardu has made numerous damages, illustrates how a comparison with older photos, most of them are recent. To that extent this is rock relief to the endangered cultural monuments Baltistan.

More About Asia

Asia is the biggest continent on Earth, a darling little gem floating around in space.Hm, what is Asia? Who's in on it?China and India are safe bets for Asian nations. Korea, Japan, Thailand, you're fine.Europe? No. Europe would sort of be on the "Asian continent" if not for those pesky Ural mountains dividing things up in the middle, and then also the whole lineage of kings and wealth and nations and the EU and all that "give me my respect" stuff.Russia would probably be happiest as its own continent, so for now we'll leave it in "Eurasia" and just hope the natural gas supplies keep flowing.Pakistan and Afghanistan are dang close to Asia, but politically they show up in "Middle East" news stories an awful lot. Verdict: Eurasia.I guess we'll actually have to consider everything from Turkey on eastward to be "Eurasian", although the moniker seems overlappitory of the territory.The Asian economy is now officially raging like a wild furnace of lava that consumes everything in its path. Japan has had the largest individual economy in Asia for decades, but it is forecast that both India and China will outstrip Japan within twenty years.China is the largest holder of United States debt and is positioned to become the world's next superpower, provided that Godzilla doesn't return and decide to stomp everybody back into the Shang Dynasty.Text by Steve Smith.
