The Potala Palace is a very old and sacred palace, which has survived thousands of years of wind and rain erosion, and still stands firm, which has extraordinary significance for the mainland, and even the mainland renminbi is printed on it.
It is not only very sacred in the eyes of Chinese, but also extremely mysterious in the eyes of Westerners. According to legend, there is also a mysterious passage to the underground world under the Potala Palace, which makes many people come to look for it.
Hitler sent people to the Potala Palace many times to look for it, does the Potala Palace really have an underground world? Is it true that there are rumors that Hitler found this secret passage and hid in the underground world after the defeat?

This also begins with the legend that in the north of Tibet there is an underground kingdom hidden, that is, "Shambhala", also known as "Shangri-La".
Although it has the same name as Shangri-La in Yunnan, its nature is very different. Its kingdom consists of eight regions, like eight petals, and in the middle is the Kabbalah Palace, which resembles a flower bud.
Many Buddhist practitioners in Tibet consider it a sacred place in Tibetan mythology.
The people who live in Shambhala have long since lost their passions and desires, and have very high mana, which has advanced scenes that we cannot imagine, and the passage to this place is just below the Potala Palace.
During World War II, Hitler personally came to the Potala Palace to see it, and after seeing this majestic building, he was also deeply attracted by it, and he was even more convinced that there must be some mysterious power hidden underneath it.
So, in 1938, Hitler sent an expedition to Tibet. In order to confirm the magic of this place, the expedition also conducted a detailed study of the locals.
They tested all the functions of the local people's bodies and calculated a series of data. Not only that, but plaster statues were made based on locals and brought back to facilitate their research.
When the expedition returned home, it was warmly welcomed by the local people, who were looking forward to the unexpected surprises brought to them by the expedition. But apart from the plaster statues, they didn't get any progress about the mysterious passages.
Hitler did not stop there, and once again sent a long expedition to Tibet to search for it, but found nothing.

Others say that Hitler went to Tibet in search of the ancestors of the Germanic peoples. What's going on here?
It turned out that during World War II, Hitler believed that Atlantis was the ancestor of the Germans, and the Germans were the best beings.
He firmly believed that when Atlantis sank to the bottom of the sea, not all of its inhabitants perished, but there were many survivors.
Some of the survivors came to Eurasia and became the ancestors of the Germanic and Indians. So the search for the descendants of the survivors at that time became a hot thing.
If you really find the immediate descendants of Atlantis, you must be able to find a way to regain Atlantis's thought and strength values. And they believe that the descendants of Atlantis are in the legendary underground kingdom.

In fact, there are many people who have this idea. After the founding of New China, Soviet experts were also very interested in this and spent huge manpower and material resources to visit Tibet many times.
So why are they all looking at the Potala Palace, and what is so mysterious about it?
The Potala Palace was built on Mount Mabuzhi in mainland Tibet to marry Princess Wencheng.
According to historical records, the construction of the Potala Palace at that time was also very grand, and it was connected by a bridge between the palace where Songtsen Gampo and Princess Wencheng lived, and this bridge was made of silver and copper.
Later, after reconstruction, coupled with the expansion of successive generations, the Potala Palace has such a huge scale as it is now, and it has also become the winter residence of successive Dalai Lamas.
The Potala Palace is 3700 meters above sea level, which makes people wonder, how did they build such a building at such a high altitude in an era when there was no reinforced concrete? And why have these buildings stood for thousands of years?
This is related to its unique way of construction, its foundation reaches a depth of 5 meters in the rock formation, and some of the walls are also injected with iron, which makes the palace exceptionally strong.
The Potala Palace is also very clever in design, not only the construction of each palace combines the advantages of the mountain, but also pays great attention to the law of sunlight in the plateau area when it is built.
There is also a legend that the corners of the east wall of the Potala Palace are very sharp, faster than some knives, and throwing an object from above can be split in half in an instant, which was specially built by stonemasons at that time with the blood of elephants.
The west side, on the other hand, is so sleek that even if the egg rolls down, it will be intact, but why it was built this way is unknown.
The Potala Palace is mainly composed of two parts, the White House and the Red Palace, and from a distance they seem to be integrated with the snowy mountains behind them, and I don't know if they were built with the snow mountains as a reference.
The White House is where the Dalai Lama lives, and it's also famous for its white façade. The interior of the White House is very ornately arranged, and there are pictures on the walls, most of which are some of the works of everyone.
And one of the palaces is very famous, that is, the "Sunshine Hall". It is called the "Temple of Daylight" because part of the roof of this palace can be opened so that the sun can shine in during the day. The hierarchy of this place is very strict, and only senior officials are eligible to enter.
The Red Palace is the Temple of the Buddha, located in the middle of the Potala Palace, and its outer wall is undoubtedly red. Inside, not only are songtsen gampo and Princess Wencheng enshrined, but there are also thousands of Buddha statues of various kinds, which is rare in the world.
In front of the Red Palace, there is also a white wall towering over it, and whenever a Buddhist festival comes, a Buddha statue is hung on it, so this wall is also called a stupa.
When we find a lot of oblique bumps on the way up the mountain, which was also deliberately designed at the time of construction, so what is the purpose of this design?
This brings us to friction, which becomes larger on a non-smooth plane, and these bumps confirm this very well.
When it rains heavily that day, because of the slope, the rain will flow down from above very quickly, and after taking such measures, the speed of the water flow will be greatly slowed down, and I have to admire the wisdom of the designer.
The construction of the Potala Palace combined the styles of the Han and Tang Dynasties and Buddhism to form the architectural color that is unique now. Moreover, the manpower and material resources consumed by the construction of the Potala Palace are far beyond our imagination.
There are many precious artifacts accumulated in it after a long time, and gold can be seen everywhere in this place. Some Buddha statues and pagoda roofs are made of pure gold.
There have even been rumors that working as a cleaner in the Potala Palace is a very popular job, because when cleaning up the garbage, it is possible to clean up the gold.
Needless to say, the price of gold is not to say, in the usual purchase is calculated in grams, but in the Potala Palace to use tons to calculate, this is simply to a certain extent.
It is said that the roof of the pure gold tower was built with 30 tons of gold, and this is only the corner of the Potala Palace.

These are all the wealth on the surface, and what really makes everyone crazy is the underground of the Potala Palace. Does the rumored mysterious passage really exist?
There are really buildings under the Potala Palace, but it is strange that the entrance to these buildings is only 25 centimeters, and people cannot pass through at all.
The underground palaces that people generally think of are very wide, at least people can walk. Later, after surveying, experts found that there were eight floors under the Potala Palace.
What the eight-story underground palace is for, everyone has given a lot of speculation. Some say that it is a place where humans live, some say that it is a place where food is stored, and some say that it is a place where treasure is hidden.
However, every situation is for human use. But what makes people wonder is that there are only some gaps between the eight underground floors, there is no staircase design, and what secrets are hidden in the design so secretly?
There is a local saying that the underground palace of the Potala Palace is used to hide treasures, and in order to prevent thieves, the underground palace was designed like a labyrinth, and only high monks who have practiced to a certain extent can enter.

But until now, I have not heard of anyone actually entering the dungeon of the Potala Palace. And there are still many mysteries about the Potala Palace that have not been solved.
First of all, there are so many good places to build palaces, why choose to choose on the mountain, which greatly increases the difficulty of construction, but also consumes more manpower and material resources.
The second is how many rooms there are in the Potala Palace, which is also a question that makes everyone argue more, but because the construction of the rooms is very peculiar, the number of rooms has not been an accurate answer.
Finally, there was the rumored secret passage, which made so many people smell the wind, but they did not find it. These mysteries have cast a veil of mystery over the Potala Palace.
As for the eight-story underground palace previously discovered, in order to get an accurate answer, experts also specially used advanced technology to scan them in an all-round way, which also unlocked the true face of the eight-story underground palace.
They are not as mysterious as we think, and the reason why there is no entrance is because it is not a dungeon at all, but the foundation of the Potala Palace.
Because the Potala Palace itself was built on the mountain, the height of each floor is different, so it will form such a grand underground building.
summary
In fact, whether it is the underground world or the descendants of Atlans, it is a beautiful fantasy of people, but the Potala Palace is real, and some mysteries about it, although we have no way to solve it now, I believe that one day we will always unveil the layers of mystery.
