Tonight, my special guest is Andrew Gough, a renowned researcher and familiar face from shows like NASA’s Unexplained and Mysteries of the Abandoned. He’s here to explore the captivating idea of Agartha—a legendary world said to exist deep within the Earth, inhabited by intelligent beings he believes are very real.

For centuries, cultures across the globe have passed down myths, legends, and sacred texts that describe vast, hidden realms beneath our feet. The Greeks spoke of underworld gateways hidden in caverns. Norse mythology described Svartálfaheimr, a land of subterranean beings. Kabbalistic texts like the Zohar and Hesed L'Avraham hint at inner Earth realms, while Tibetan Buddhism speaks of Shamballa, a secret city hidden beneath the surface.

From ancient Thracian gods said to dwell in deep caverns to Mesopotamian tales of mystical gardens reached by tunnels through sacred mountains, these stories share uncanny similarities. In Ireland, legends describe “gates to Hell” where strange creatures emerge, while in India, the epic Ramayana tells of underworld kings and daring rescues from the depths.

Tribal histories are just as compelling. The Taino of Cuba, the Angami Naga of India, and the people of the Trobriand Islands all claim ancestral origins from underground lands. Folklore in Mexico speaks of devilish beings from mountain caves, while Native American tribes—from the Hopi to the Iroquois—tell of ancestors who emerged from sacred Earth portals.

German, Russian, and Brazilian myths echo the same theme: lost civilizations, ancient knowledge, and living worlds inside the Earth. Even Dante’s Inferno imagined a hollow Earth torn open by the fall of Lucifer.
