The local government has decided to open the village as a tourist destination to let more people know about traditional Tibetan culture.
Oooh boy, I hope they protect and preserve it first. That's kinda too fast IMO.

This is particularly interesting, since we know very little about people who "invented" systems of writing. The fact that he is known as the "inventor" suggests that he was literate in another language (probably Chinese) and already knew how to write. From what we know of language and symbols, alphabets don't just "spring up" overnight. Instead, they start out as signs that communicate things ("water -- thataway" or "My Name Is UppieBoopie") and these signs develop into writing over a long period of time.
