Tibet

Ok, so today in Socratic, I noticed in the history books how it kept talking about Tibet, but never explained what it was. Curious with the matter I researched it to find out what was so important about it. I was expecting it to have some rare metal, or grow some kind of funky fruit, something interesting. Turns out it's just another empire (which is interesting). It mainly ruled the Himalaya are, the areas north of India, and the Stans. In fact, it controled China for a while (15 days). Then, the Mongols took it over and by...I think Kubli Khan. But before that, the empire was ruled by Dalai Lamas, which I used to think were a bunch of monks which traveled around Asia in a Trolley (I have no clue why I thought that).

So, what did you guys think Tibet was?

I'd seen a bunch of people wearing 'free tibet' shirts, and so I was wondering where I could collect my complimentary tibet.

I'm a bit disappointed now.
