The Yarlung dynasty (Tibetan: བོད་ཀྱི་གདོད་མའི་མངའ་མཛད།; Chinese: 雅礱王朝), or Pre-Imperial Tibet,[1] was a proto-historical dynasty in Tibet before the rise of the historical Tibetan Empire in the 7th century.
The early Yarlung dynasty rulers are more mythological than factual, and there is insufficient evidence of their definitive existence.[2]
