About The Author: Lieutenant Colonel Laurence Austine Waddell (1854–1938) was a Scottish explorer, Indian Army surgeon, and scholar of Tibetan, Sanskrit, and Sumerian. He served as Professor of Tibetan and of Chemistry and Pathology, gaining fame for his explorations in the Himalayas and Tibet. His respected early works include The Buddhism of Tibet and Lhasa and Its Mysteries. Later, he controversially theorized that ancient civilizations—Sumerian, Indus Valley, Egyptian, and even British—shared Aryan roots. Books like Indo-Sumerian Seals Deciphered and The British Edda reflect these racial-linguistic theories, now discredited. Despite this, his contributions to Tibetology and early archaeology remain historically significant. The Title 'Elements of Military Science written/authored/edited by Austine L.
