<div>The '''Himalayan Towers''' are a series of stone towers located mostly in Sichuan and [[Tibet]]. Carbon dating by Frederique Darragon shows they were built approximately 500 to 1,800 years ago. Since they are generally located in prosperous villages, it is believed that their primary function was as a demonstration of a family's prestige within the community. For strength, many of the towers use a star pattern of walls as opposed to a strictly rectangular method. Heights can exceed 60m. For more information see the work of [[Frederique Darragon]], who has extensively studied the towers and written a book titled ''The Secret Towers of the Himalayas''. She also filmed and co-produced a documentary also called "Secret Towers of the Himalayas".<br />
