Shambhala: Marco Polo Search for Shambhala

Description

It was the week of Great Kublai Khan’s birthday, September 28, the twenty-eighth day of the lunar cycle, 1274. After returning from their search for the Chintamani Stone, Marco Polo and Lord Su Che were present at a secret meeting held by the Phags-pa lama Baron Kuo-Shi and Baron Ch’en-liu. They heard a story told by Rabbi Benjamin of Tudela of a people called the Dogon of West Africa. The Dogon spoke of the star Sirius, of space travelers and a secret tunnel to the top of the earth to a secret place called Shambhala. And then Lord Su Che and Marco Polo are summoned by the Empress Chabi to the Green Palace and are told by the Empress Chabi: Lord Su Che I arranged a meeting with our mysterious Royal guest Baron Ch’en-liu and the Hoopala; we spoke of Shambhala, of Rabbi Benjamin of Tudela’s story of the Dogon and a secret place called Shambhala, and of space travelers.
