The Most Mysterious Place I've Never Visited in Western Tibet; I Couldn't Imagine How this was Built ??

[sidharthabahadur]

List members , even more mysterious than the Mustang caves of Nepal , are the 4,000 UNBELIEVABLE caves of Dungkar & Piyang near the sacred Mount Kailash in Western Tibet . Could some of these caves lead to Shambhalla itself ?? These places are just simply MIND BOGGLING !

Dungkar & Piyang

Folks, you must take a look at this incredible image...it looks like a GIGANTIC pockmarked anthill...this place which is near to the sacred Mount Kailash, is just teeming with THOUSANDS of ancient caves !

This entire hill is honeycombed with interconnected caves...nobody knows their true antiquity...!

As someone from India , Chinese government will NEVER grant me a travel Visa to visit a "disputed area" like Tibet , but anyone from Europe or the US , could easily obtain the same .

***There is a 21 day guided tour of Tibet that is available , for anyone in this group who is upto that Grand Challenge :))

With so much naga and reptilian worship, I'd say you're on to something here. Shambhala appears to be the satanic/luciferian capital of Earth, so it makes a lot of sense.

[sidharthabahadur]

Folks , I think some very deep secrets about humanity's past are hidden in this region...something totally "off the charts" from whatever we've been taught to believe by mainstream academia and the Powers that be...!

**If you pay close attention to the elaborate murals painted inside these caves , they represent stories and symbolism from the hoary past , not just related to Buddhism , but to much more ancient Hindu lore as well .

From an Anthropology perspective , this is one of those few places on Earth , barring the high Arctic or remote Antarctic (Tibet is called the "Third Pole") , where ALL bets are off :))

Are there better sources for high resolution images of the murals so as to better study these potentialities?

[sidharthabahadur]

@Soretna , I found this article has imagery for dozens of murals from the Dungkar & Piyang cave city :-

Here are several more images of the murals from this site :-
