<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ParisLS, post: 10517063, member: 91943&quot;]As for how the phurba got such defects, it is most likely explained by the fact that Mongolia had more than one cultural revolution during the 20th century.</p><p><br /></p><p>The most brutal was in 1924 and 1966...&quot;Buddhist monasteries were subjected to destruction, cultural values were destroyed. Lamas, former feudal lords and simply educated Mongols were killed, arrested, humiliated and beaten. Gangs of Red Guards broke into the homes of ordinary Mongols in search of works of &quot;reactionary culture&quot;, committed violence and robbery. Mongols were forced by threats and intimidation to curse independent Mongolia and learn Mao Zedong&#039;s quotes.&quot;[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
