Welcome heathens welcome to the world of the weird and unexplained. I’m your host, Nicole Delacroix and together, we will be investigating stories about the weird, wonderful, unexplained, eerie, scary and down-right unbelievable. There will be tales of ghosts, murder, supernatural beings and unexplained mysteries. So, sit back, grab your favorite drink, relax and prepare to be transported to today's dark Enigma....

And on today’s Dark enigma we’re going to be exploring another listener request, this time it’s going to center outside of the US and we’re going to be travelling… metaphorically to Shambhala. As always, we will be playing our drinking game but once again, the drinking game is only for those of us that are at home and have nowhere else to go tonight. I’m leaving the choice of libation up to you, so choose wisely, my young padawans… yep, I’m feeling very Star Wars right now so deal with it… Alright, now for the game part how about every time I say Shambhala that will be a single shot and every time I say Agharta, that’s a double shot. Now that we have the business end out of the way we can jump headfirst into today’s dark enigma… and Agharta and the Prophecy of the Golden City of Shambhala… let’s jump into it heathens…

As the Russian philosopher Nicholas Roerich passed through the sprawling mountains of Central Asia in 1926, he and his guides were shocked to witness an incredible, golden orb floating in the sky. From Chapter 4 of Invisible Eagle: The History of Nazi Occultism by Alan Baker, and I quote: “…high up in the cloudless sky, they clearly saw a golden spheroidal object moving from the Altai Mountains to the north at tremendous speed. Veering sharply to the south-west, the golden sphere disappeared rapidly beyond the Humboldt Mountains.”
Perhaps Roerich shouldn’t have been surprised.
Some claim his journey was no mere expedition: He was attempting to return a fragment of the legendary Cintamani Stone to its rightful place at the center of Shambhala, and the golden sphere was a welcoming sign from within.
