Is there references to the Cthulhu Mythos in the Tibetan Book of the Dead?

Question

I have the Simon Necronomicon which ties H.P. Lovecraft and Aleister Crowley to Sumerian / Mesopotamian mythos and the Tyson Necronomicon is more tied in to the Cthulhu Mythos by Lovecraft and others.

Answer 1

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cthulhu

says "created by horror author H. P. Lovecraft"
but

seems to agree with what you are writing about.

Answer 2

I seriously doubt it. I could be wrong, but I've always thought that Lovecraft started the Cthulhu Mythos, and others picked up on it, which means it only started in the 1920s or '30s. The Tibetan Book of the Dead was written over 1,000 years ago.

It could be the other way around, that Lovecraft was influenced by TTBotD and Sumerian myths. That, I don't know. Algernon Blackwood based many of his stories on Native American Indian myths, so maybe Lovecraft did the same?
