John's theory supports one legend that tells the brutal1 and merciless execution. After having surrendered his kingdom, the king and his ministers were beheaded on the spot. The royal women also made an equally gruesome end. There is a poem that purportedly2 tells of the massacre3. It describes how the royal women were taken and thrown from the palace ramparts. To the people below, these brightly dressed princesses look like spring flowers falling from heaven. The Ladahki soldiers yelled and shouted to see more and more flowers. As for the abbot, he made his doom4 with the end of Ladahki sword. Treachery was repaid by treachery, as he was double crossed by his supposed allies. But a mystery remains5: why was Tsaparang entirely6 abandoned? From the top of the citadel7 you can still see the imprints8 left by the ancient aqueduct following the contours of the hill. Even the legend Tsering Gyalpo speaks of has a basis on science. Guge is in the shadow of three of the world's largest mountain ranges, the Himalayas, the Gangdisê, and the Qunlun.
