The Forbidden Religion of Tibet: Bön (Bon) and the Lost Kingdom of Zhang Zhung

The year is 785 CE. Tibet’s most powerful king signs a decree that bans an entire religion—its priests exiled, its texts destroyed, its rituals driven underground. And yet Bön (Bon) survived. Today, hundreds of thousands still follow the indigenous faith Tibet tried to erase. In this documentary, we investigate Tibet’s pre-Buddhist religion through archaeology, manuscripts, and modern scholarship—separating real evidence from internet mythology. We travel (on the map) to Mount Kailash, the legendary realm of Zhang Zhung, and the highest archaeological sites on Earth, where fortress ruins, sacred lakes, and cave burials preserve clues to a forgotten spiritual world. You’ll learn: What Bön / Yungdrung Bon actually is (and what it isn’t) Why scholars debate how “old” organized Bon really is How Bön influenced Tibetan culture (death rituals, mountain worship, offerings, prayer traditions) How a religion survives centuries of suppression—without vanishing This episode references major researchers including John Vincent Bellezza, Samten Karmay, and Per Kværne, and tackles what we can verify vs. what remains genuinely unknown. If you’re into: ancient religions, archaeology, lost history, Tibetan Empire, Himalayan mysteries, you’re in the right place.
