Project Update: We presented a four-volume set of Bhutan Heritage Records to the King of Bhutan.

A year and a half ago, through the introduction of @cz_binance, we embarked on a massive undertaking: led by Keda, we collected all available English, French, and Japanese publications about Bhutan from the past three centuries. Many of these documents were handwritten and stored deep within libraries, unseen for perhaps a century. After compiling these materials, we identified nearly 5,000 historical buildings, relics, and sites across Bhutan.

Yixuan then leveraged the @Funes_World methodology to transform these compiled materials into a handcrafted, four-volume set. We brought two complete sets to Bhutan.

However, the most important realization from this project is that Bhutan’s most vital knowledge still resides within Bhutan itself—in the memories of monks, master builders, and elders. These records are only a beginning.

Consistent with Funes’ modeling approach, we have published all these materials as open-source resources on our official website. If you’re interested in Bhutanese architecture, please visit: https://funes.world/apps/bhutan-database…
