In the end, the king agreed to surrender on the condition that the enemy
should spare his people. However when the Guge soldiers unarmed themselves the
Ldakah army slaughtered them. Today, there's a cave crammed with skeletons near
the Guge castle. It's believed to be a testament to the brutality of the war.
It's strange that no skulls have been found there, but there was some braided
hair. Some bodies were wrapped with robes. However, it is also thought to be a
special funeral because some skeletons of young females were found in the cave.
Where are the Guge descendants?
Was it possible that nobody from Guge survived the war? Where have the
descendants of the Guge gone? There are only a few houses near the Guge ruins,
and the people there are not descendants of the Guge.
It is rumored that over 200 Guge were lucky enough to successfully flee
through a secret tunnel within the Guge castle to escape the war, settling in
today's Qulong town, waiting for a time to get revenge. It was said that a
ceremony was held on the road to Qulong. Each of the survivors threw a stone
towards a set place, in memory of their lost home and wishing for good luck in
the future.
