Himalayan Caves May Be Shangri-La

If they do find that place no one will care.

Just ask Nathan Drake, he knows where it is

Shambhala!!! Wasn’t that what the shaman in the Temple of Doom shouted as he tore that guys heart out?? OH, no wait!! It was Kah-Li-MAH!!! Sorry, thoughts of Shangri-La being discovered took me into Indiana Jones daydream land.

Miss Celina,

Shangri-la is a FICTIONAL place imagined by an early 20th century British writer. He created the place as a general summary (or stereotype) of everything “exotic” and mysterious about the far east.

It was inspired by various regions and tucked away villages/cities in the Himalayans and parts of western China…but the actual place of “Shangri-la” doesn’t exist!

Leave it to early 19th/20th century Europeans to misinterpret and distort the history of other cultures… cough cough…Mayan 2012 end-of-world-bullsh*t…

Isn’t Shangri-La FICTIONAL?

sorry, but not even close. I dont even have to read the details of this ‘so called’ expedition to know that its nothing more than some dumb cave exploration.The ‘real’ Shambala..if there is such a thing, is most likely a realm deep inside the inner earth (hollow earth) and not just some retarded cave with some drawings and trinkets

It’s amazing to see that there are still treasures being found on Earth. It always seems as though every single inch of Earth has been explored.

Sorry to correct you “Historical Accuracy”, but the article states: For his 1933 novel, Hilton used the concept of Shambhala as the basis for his “lost” valley of Shangri-La, an isolated mountain community that was a storehouse of cultural wisdom.

This would indicate that Shangri-La IS indeed fictional. The place they are referring to is Shambala, the inspiration for the fictional paradise od Shangri-La.

Shangri-La is where the heart is.

Too late, I’ve already found Shambhala as Nathan Drake in Uncharted 2.

we have only dug something like 5 miles down (Kola borehole in russia) so actually we know almost nothing about what is inside the earth (if the crust really is something like 200-300 mile thick). shambalah, as i see it, is a ‘type’ or representative of a place inside the earth hidden from those of us who know nothing but desecration and perversion (look at what weve done to the precious rainforests for example). If we cant maintain, manage, or peaceably interact with the glory of nature that is already known to us….why would we be allowed to taint a place that is even more amazing than the treasures we have discovered on the surface of our planet? Im not presenting evidence of ‘its’ existence so much as i am positing an argument against our worthiness to have access to such a place, were it to actually exist.

Outstanding, looking forward to a special tonight on PBS about those caves.

I see we have an educated,open minded crowd here. Video games are what brought such foolish low-brow critiques of this find from you cretans in the first place!!! CHEERS!

Great news! This is exciting and will enrich our world with wisdom and knowledge from centuries ago.

Shambala or Shangri-La

curious, is the secret to eternal life in there too? or is it just secrets to inner peace?

Hmm, if shangri-la could be found doesn’t it mean that some myths people think is fake may actually be real? I mean people thought it might exist and some people say’s it doesn’t. Who says the people supporting that it doesn’t exist is wrong. No-one because they don’t know. But if they find proof, it could mean that other places like Utopia is real, or myths unicorns could be real. The fact is we don’t know. It’s the discoverys that guides us nearer to what could be an amazing truth maybe about earth, but we don’t know. I’m just stating the fact that myths could be true if we actually find more evidence. Don’t thank me. I’m just joking. But yeh.

This is so ironic! I just found Shangri-La today while playing Uncharted 2 for Playstation 3!

Looks like uncharted 2 had it right! Who knew a video game would have predicted this.

just finished watching both specials on the Mustang Caves. hope there will be more to come later very interesting

Sharangrl is not real!

I just hope these discoveries will not lead to destruction of these treasures…

Those of us who happen to be Buddhist would like to see that subsequent explorations and excavations be conducted with due regard and respect for the artifacts and the traditions from which they proceeded.

I’ve been there. Tell them to stay away from the tree of life. It has bad karma and the yeti-guardians don’t like strangers.

I hear they called in Sherlock Holmes to help investigate the find.

Another ripoff of the term “Shangri-La”. My 2007 film “Finding Shangri-La” found the real life model for James Hilton’s “Shangri-La” from his 1933 book “Lost Horizon”, deep in Tibet, and proved it beyond question. Too bad PBS and National Geographic turned down showing the film for reasons known only to them. I guess they could not handle the truth.
