Coldplay - Paradise

Lyrics:

"Paradise"

When she was just a girl
She expected the world
But it flew away from her reach
So she ran away in her sleep
Dreamed of para- para- paradise
Para- para- paradise
Para- para- paradise
Every time she closed her eyes
Whoa-oh-oh oh-oooh oh-oh-oh

When she was just a girl
She expected the world
But it flew away from her reach
And the bullets catch in her teeth

Life goes on
It gets so heavy
The wheel breaks the butterfly
Every tear, a waterfall
In the night, the stormy night
She closed her eyes
In the night, the stormy night
Away she'd fly.

And dreamed of para- para- paradise
Para- para- paradise
Para- para- paradise
Whoa-oh-oh oh-oooh oh-oh-oh

She dreamed of para- para- paradise
Para- para- paradise
Para- para- paradise
Whoa-oh-oh oh-oooh oh-oh-oh.

La la la La
La la la

So lying underneath those stormy skies.
She said oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh.
I know the sun must set to rise.

This could be para- para- paradise
Para- para- paradise
This could be para- para- paradise
Whoa-oh-oh oh-oooh oh-oh-oh.

This could be para- para- paradise
Para- para- paradise
Could be para- para- paradise
Whoa-oh-oh oh-oooh oh-oh-oh.

This could be para- para- paradise
Para- para- paradise
Could be para- para- paradise
Whoa-oh-oh oh-oooh oh-oh-oh.

Oo-oo-oo, oo-oo-oo, oo-oo-oo
Oo-oo-oo, oo-oo-oo, oo-oo-oo

3,000-year-old human remains uncovered in Mustang caves

The news extracted from ekantipur.com on 12 December, 2011 written by Ankit Adhikari

What could well be compared toShangri-La as envisioned by British author James Hilton in his 1933 novel Lost Horizon, recent findings of human history dating back to over 3,000 years inthe caves of Upper Mustang have unraveled a significant portion, if not thewhole of that virgin unknown.

A team of national and international climbers, scientists, archaeologists, historiansand anthropologists has found evidence of thousands of years of civilization in this mystical land. After beginning the first phase of its research in 2008,the team discovered human remains dating back to 3,000 years, bringing out untold stories of an “independent” civilization. According to Mohan Singh Lama,an archaeologist with the Department of Archaeology (DoA), the findings go backto the pre-history period (before the beginning of the Christian era) when the Indus Valley and the Chinese civilizations were slowly making inroads intoNepal via present day India and the Tibetan plateau. “Since cave settlement was not popular in other places around, we can view this as an independent civilization,”he said, adding that one of the most important cultures of the past that they found out is the unique burial pattern. According to him, dead bodies used tobe buried in caves, along with jewelry and utensils. The team found square coffins in the caves with human skeletons, perched under kilos of jewelry and utensils. “This makes the entire area rich in underground treasure, but many ofthe graves were dug by treasure hunters,” Lama said. Though not practiced now,treasure hunting used to be one of the most sensational businesses for many people in and around Mustang until a couple of centuries ago, experts say.

The team that includes experts from the National Geographic channel and the DoA hasso far been able to explore at least nine caves.

Ancient Tibetan Buddhist shrines were also recovered from the caves. The shrines aredecorated with exquisitely painted frescoes, including a 55-panel depiction of Buddha’s life. Thousands of pages of religious texts written in the Tibetan language,stone carvings, idols and paintings are the main religious findings, Lama said.Caves where people lived were constructed several meters vertically upward from the basement. “The caves that begin with a small hole visible from the outside are huge maze-like structures in the inside,” Lama said. However, how the people climbed up to the entrance is still a mystery” Lama added.

After 2008, the team continued its study in 2010 and 2011.

Mark Aldenderfer, an archaeologist at the University of California who is leadingthe excavation team, claims people have been living in the Mustang valley since10,000 years. “Our team found stone tools near Kagbeni. These tools resemblethose from lower elevations. Their presence suggests people have been moving intothe valley for a very long time,” Aldenderfer told the Post.
