About
Agartha is a mythological and mystical kingdom said to be located underground within the inner surface of the Earth. The city of Agartha is a popular subject in hollow earth theories and Western esotericism, which is distinct from both Judeo-Christian religion and Enlightenment-era rationalism. In meme culture, Agartha is sometimes coopted into discussions about Hyperborea, with people joking about finding a "portal" to Agartha and making ironic Aryan Classic videos.
Origin
Ideas about the lost underground city of Agartha can be traced as far back as the year 1910, with French physician, hypnotist, and occultist Gérard Encausse editing and republishing an older account by a fellow occultist. After World War 1, The German "Thule Society," closely associated with Nazism, began to take an avid interest in Agartha.[1]
American esoteric writer Raymond W. Bernard also expressed an interest in Agartha, with the diagram below showing a map of "Hollow Earth" as well as the entrance to Agartha.[2]
