About this listen
Ancient Civilizations: Lost Worlds of the Past explores the legend of Shangri-La, a mythical Himalayan paradise popularized by James Hilton’s 1933 novel Lost Horizon. Rooted in Tibetan traditions of Shambhala, Shangri-La represents a hidden utopia of peace, longevity, and enlightenment, shielded from the chaos of the outside world. While countless explorers and even modern governments have sought its “real” location, its true meaning lies as a spiritual metaphor rather than a geographical place. Shangri-La endures in literature, film, and cultural imagination as humanity’s timeless dream of harmony and inner peace.
