About The Agartha Podcast
Welcome to The Agartha Podcast, we are Olle and Leo. Today we will talk about the "Hollow Earth Theory", and diving into the history behind it, ranging from its ancient origins to its 20th century revival through occultism and Nazism. We’ll explore how this idea has appeared in myths and folklore across different cultures, often as a symbol of hidden worlds or forgotten civilizations. We will also look at how early scientists and philosophers tried to make sense of the Earth’s structure, sometimes giving rise to bold and imaginative theories. As we move forward in time, we’ll examine how secret societies and esoteric groups reshaped the theory to fit their own beliefs and agendas. And finally, we’ll discuss how these ideas resurfaced in political movements of the 1900s, showing how a simple myth can be transformed into something far more influential and, at times, dangerous.
