Giuseppe Tucci

Giuseppe Tucci was an Italian scholar who is regarded as a linguist and a Tibetologist. This man was an early flower who taught himself several languages and published a collection of Latin epigraphs before the age of 18. After graduating he joined hands with Nobel laureate Rabindranath Tagore and studied Buddhism in India. Tucci was deeply intrigued by Tibet and has traveled all his life to understanding the people and culture of Nepal, Bhutan, Sikkim, and Ladakh. From one of his expeditions, he has published a book called "Journey to Mustang" that uncovers the origins of early civilization and rewrites history from the discoveries that he made. His works are considered to be the fundamental station from which further studies have been carried on by future scholars and has been referenced as well.
