Original Note:
This monastery does have 84,000 scrolls being examined by the Tibetan Academy of Social Sciences, however the age of the scrolls are closer to the Monastery's founding in 1073, not 10,000 years ago. The 10k figure is from the original clickbait article in 2021. https://www.truthorfiction.com/monastery-of-sakia-library-found-in-tibet-containing-84000-secret-manuscripts/ https://www.aap.com.au/factcheck/claim-of-10000-year-old-tibet-library-find-not-worth-paper-its-written-on/
