What is agartha?

Agartha (sometimes Agarttha, Agarti, or Agharti) is a legendary subterranean city said to be located beneath the surface of the Earth. It is a popular concept in esoteric and speculative fiction.

The idea of Agartha is rooted in various occult and mystical traditions, particularly those of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Stories describe Agartha as a utopian society, a hidden realm populated by advanced beings, often possessing superior technology and wisdom. It's sometimes considered to be connected to other subterranean cities through a network of tunnels.

The concept gained significant traction through the writings of authors like Jules Verne (in Journey to the Center of the Earth) and, more directly, through the works of esotericists such as Alexandre Saint-Yves d'Alveydre, who claimed to have received information about Agartha from a mysterious source. His work, combined with later interpretations, greatly influenced the popular image of Agartha.

While there's no scientific evidence to support the existence of Agartha, it remains a fascinating subject within fringe theories and alternative history circles. It is often associated with concepts like Hollow Earth theory and ancient astronauts. It is not to be confused with the Bhoga-vita also referred to as Bilzium which is a much more advanced city within the interior of Earth. Agartha is a major influence in many conspiracy theories.
