Agartha - The Hollow Earth Theory - A Thorough Explanation
Agartha Agartha (sometimes referred to as Agartta, Agharti or Agarttha) is a legendary city that is said to reside in the Earth’s core and is the center of the Hollow Earth Theory. The capital city of Agartha is known as Shamballa, but sometimes known as Shambalah or Shangri-La. Throughout Asia it is best known by its Sanskrit name, Shambhala, meaning “The place of peace, of tranquillity.” The mythical paradise of Shamballa is known under many different titles. It has been called: The Forbidden Land, The Land of White Waters, The Land of Radiant Spirits, The Land of Living Fire, The Land of the Living Gods and the Land of Wonders. Hindus have known it as Aryavartha (literally : The Land or Realm of The Aryans ; the Land of the Noble/Worthy Ones”) – the land from which the Vedas come. The Chinese refer to it as as: Hsi Tien, The Western Paradise of Hsi Wang Mu, The Royal Mother of the West The Russian Old Believers, a nineteenth-century Christian sect, knew it as Belovodye and the Kirghiz people (a Turkish ethnic group native to Central Asia) as Janaidar. The Entrances to Agartha There is said to be several entrances to the Kingdom of Agartha throughout the world. Some of the entrances are found on planetary grid points – indwells and outwells of energy. Google Map: Kentucky Mammoth Cave, in south-central Kentucky, US.

THEORY An early source for the belief in underground civilizations is The Smoky God (aff link) (1908) by Willis George Emerson (1856 – 1918), which claims to be the biography of a Norwegian sailor named Olaf Jansen. The book explains how Jansen’s sloop sailed through an entrance to the Earth’s interior at the North Pole. For two years he lived with the inhabitants of an underground network of colonies who, Emerson writes, were a full 12 feet tall and whose world was lit by a “smoky” central sun. Their capital city was said to be the original Garden of Eden. While Emerson does not use the name Agartha, later works such as Agartha – Secrets of the Subterranean Cities have identified the civilization Jansen encountered with Agartha, and its citizens as Agarthan. According to Secrets of the Subterranean Cities, Shamballa the Lesser, one of the colonies, was also the seat of government for the network. While Shamballa the Lesser is an inner continent, its satellite colonies are smaller enclosed ecosystems located just beneath the Earth’s crust or discreetly within mountains. The many cataclysms and wars that took place on the surface drove these people underground. The lengthy Atlantean-Lemurian war and the power of thermonuclear weaponry is what many believe eventually sank and destroyed these two highly advanced civilizations. The Sahara, the Gobi, the Australian Outback and the deserts of the U.S. are but a few examples of the devastation that resulted. The sub-cities were created as refuges for the people and as safe havens for sacred records, teachings and technologies that were cherished by these ancient cultures. INHABITANTS The Old Ones – In an article entitled “The Hollow Earth: Myth or Reality” for Atlantis Rising, Brad Steiger writes of the legends of “the Old Ones,” an ancient race that populated the surface world millions of years ago and then moved underground. “The Old Ones, an immensely intelligent and scientifically advanced race,” Steiger writes, “have chosen to structure their own environment under the surface of the planet and manufacture all their necessities.” “The Old Ones are hominid, extremely long-lived, and pre-date Homo sapiens by more than a million years. The Old Ones generally remain aloof from the surface peoples, but from time to time, they have been known to offer constructive criticism; and it has been said, they often kidnap human children to tutor and rear as their own.” The Elder Race – One of the most controversial tales of inner-Earth-dwellers is the so-called “Shaver Mystery.” In 1945, Amazing Stories magazine under the editorship of Ray Palmer ran a story told by Richard Shaver, who claimed he had recently been the guest of what remained of an underground civilization.
