【Introduction】
High in the mountains of the Qinghai-Tibetan plateau, a land of impossible terrain and breathtaking beauty, hundreds of spectacular freestanding stone towers rise over remote valleys.
These towers have endured for hundreds of years in these earthquake-prone regions, and yet few people from the outside world have ever seen them. It is the first book ever published dedicated entirely to the study and the valorization of the extraordinary remains of what might have been a Civilization of Stone Star-Shaped Towers.
This book is about an extraordinary human heritage whose builders were not part of any Nation; as such this heritage truly belongs to human kind.
