Tibetan Buddhism has played an important role in Asian politics from the 8th century to the present day. It has provided an ideological underpinning and power status to a variety of Central Asian and Chinese empires, including the Mongol empires of inggiz Qan's (1162?-1227) heirs and the Manchu rulers of China's Qing Dynasty (1644-1912, ). While the geopolitical influence of Tibetan Buddhism during this time has waxed and waned over the centuries, it never disappeared. The locus for this influence is in Eastern Central Asia, a crossroads of cultures situated on overland trading routes. The study of this region as a whole is hampered by the variety of cultures it has been home to, and by the dispersal of the archaeological evidence across museums and libraries worldwide
