People are always looking for lost cities. But perhaps some of the places people look for never existed. A few famous mythical(神秘的) cities are often heard for years.
EI Dorado
EI Dorado is a legend(传说) that began in 1537, when Spanish explorers found the Muisca people in the mountains. They heard the story of a chief who covered himself with gold and dived into a lake of mountain water. Soon people started to think of EI Dorado as a place, too—a city of gold and amazing riches.
The Spanish sent many people to look for EI Dorado, but they never found it. Nowadays, the name “EI Dorado” is still used to mean “a place where you can get rich quickly”.
Atlantis
There was once an island in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean. The people of the island were very rich because of the natural resources on their island. For hundreds of years, they lived simple lives. But slowly they began to change. They started to become greedy(贪婪的) and to want power. Suddenly, the island and its people were swallowed(吞没) by the sea and were never seen again.
Shambhala
In Tibetan tradition, Shambhala is a kingdom that is hidden somewhere behind the snowy peaks of the Himalayas. Shambhala is a word from an old language that means “place of peace” or “place of happiness”.
It__is__said__that__there__is__no__war__in__Shambhala. It is also said that, in the future, when the world is full of greed and wars, a huge army will come out of Shambhala.
