  5. Wow!!!!I always looked forward to myths and I liked this one!Well the answer to your question is that we need enough of evidence to prove it exists.The gold city reminds me of Asgard. It's from norse mythology.And in Greek and Roman mythologies Moon goddess is called Selene whereas in Norse it's called MΓ‘ni I guess so. So we have a lots of dots to connect and find the answer.

  11. Well Asia has it's own version too but in a bit different way. Yes, I'm taking of the mythical land of Shangri-La as depicted by James Hilton in his novel the Lost Horizon. He changed the name of the village from Shambala to Shangri-La. This lost Tibetan paradise is a valley cut off from the world. The wisdom of the human race is being conserved there against the threat of imminent catastrophe. Traditionally, Shambala is located in the Himalayas, in the remotest part of Tibet, on a high plateau, surrounded by a ring of mountain peaks.

    The present Dalai Lama says this about Shambala:

    Nowadays, no one knows where Shambala is. Although it is said to exist, people cannot see it, or communicate with it in an ordinary way. Some people say it is located in another world, others that it is an ideal land, a place of the imagination. Some say it was a real place, which cannot now be found. Some believe there are openings into that world which may be accessed from this. Whatever the truth of that, the search for Shambala traditionally begins as an outer journey that becomes a journey of inner exploration and discovery.
