Agartha (Agharta)<\/strong>\u00a0is the name given to the imaginary world believed by some to exist inside the Earth and now incorporated into a number of the Hollow Earth \u2018theories\u2019(a)<\/sup>. In fact, Agartha, or as he called it \u2018Asgartha\u2019 was invented by Louis Jacolliot <\/a>(1837-1890).<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The French occultist, Alexandre Saint-Yves d’Alveydre<\/a>, claimed to have visited Agarttha during an out-of-body experience.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

One site offers video clips to support the Hollow Earth idea(e)<\/span><\/sup>, a concept first proposed by Edmond Halley in 1692(i)<\/sup>. In fact, the leading Electric Universe proponent, Wallace Thornhill (1943-2023), recently expressed sympathy for both a hollow Earth as well as a Hollow Moon<\/a>. This was at a recent EU conference and can be viewed at the 40-minute mark of a YouTube video.(h)<\/sup><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In 2001, a father and son team, Kevin & Matthew Taylor, combined the hollow earth theory with the idea of an expanding earth in their book, The Land of No Horizon<\/em>[823<\/a>]<\/sup>, as well as a YouTube clip(f)<\/sup>.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The background to the 20th-century upsurge in interest in the idea of a Hollow Earth is worth a read(c)<\/sup>.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Brinsley Le Poer Trench<\/a> was a member of both British and Dutch nobility with the titles of 8th Earl of Clancarty and 7th Marquess of Heusden and had a seat in the British House of Lords. He held several extreme opinions regarding extraterrestrial visitors, UFOs and the Hollow Earth Theory and wrote a number of books in support of them. In 1974 he published Secret of the Ages <\/em>[778<\/a>]+<\/strong><\/span><\/sup>, <\/em>which was later republished as Finding Lost Atlantis Inside the Hollow Earth<\/em> and is still available.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

A number of 20th-century\u00a0writers have suggested that subterranean Agartha has a civilisation related to that of Atlantis. We should not be surprised by the existence of Hollow Earth theories, after all, the Flat Earth Society(b)<\/sup> is alive and well and functional in California(see Eric Dubay<\/a>). An international Flat Earth conference in November 2017 was reportedly sold out(g)<\/sup>.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

It seems that no matter how daft the idea, followers are always available.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

One website(d)<\/sup> describes our hollow earth as the home of the lost tribes of Israel which they defend with flying saucers.<\/p>\n
