KATMANDU, Nepal (May 4) – Paintings of Buddha dating back at least to the 12th century have been discovered in a cave in Nepal’s remote north-central region by a team of international researchers who were tipped by a local sheep herder.
A mural with 55 panels depicting the story of Buddha’s life was uncovered in March, with the team using ice axes to break through a snow path to reach the cave in Nepal’s Mustang area, about 160 miles northwest of the capital, Katmandu.
“What we found is fantastically rich in culture and heritage and goes to the 12th century or earlier,” Broughton Coburn, a writer and conservationist from Jackson Hole, Wyo., told The Associated Press on Friday.
Coburn said the main mural measured around 25 feet wide, and each panel was about 14 inches by 17 inches.
