Is Hyperborea Real? Is Agartha Real? Was Atlantis Real?

Hyperborea, Agartha, and Atlantis—myths or lost truths? Graham Hancock’s Fingerprints of the Gods suggests an Ice Age civilization wiped out by floods, while Plato’s Atlantis hints at buried history, like Schliemann’s Troy. Hyperborea ties to Swedish genetic roots from Siberian mammoth-hunting hunter-gatherers, though not proven. Julius Evola’s Pagan Imperialism explores Shvetadvipa and Uttarakura as symbolic Nordic archetypes, mirroring Tolkien’s "returning king." Agartha’s hollow-earth theories and Shambhala’s metaphysical "state of mind" spark curiosity, even if literal claims fail. These myths may yet reveal hidden layers of human past, blending legend with real-world intrigue. [Automatically generated summary]

Agartha: Myths and Realities 00:14:59
We're back!
Number one ranked sensitive young man checking in from the Library of Wisdom in Shambhala.
So we're gonna schizomax a bit in this fine video.
This is a follow-up to the conversation I had with my man Disco Orfeus a while back.
He actually made a video also, which I'll link below.
It's well worth listening to if you are in the mood to schizomax a bit.
So he talks about Hyperborea, and in this video, it's a follow-up to the question at hand.
Are these places real?
Was Atlantis real?
Is Agartha real?
Was Hyperborea real?
So we're gonna get into it after this message from the sponsor of this video.
And we're of course talking about the greatest clothing brand in the world, Legiogloria.
So do head over immediately to Legiogloria.com and place an order for some underwear.
If you don't do it, I will suffer a massive cortisol spike.
So do yourself a favor, do me a favor, head over and place an order of some great clothing.
So on to the question at hand.
Are these places real?
Now, first and foremost, I will actually talk a bit about the theories of Graham Hancock.
I have this fine book here, Fingerprints of the Gods.
Now, I made a dedicated podcast episode to the work of Graham Hancock a while back.
So if you are subscribed to the greatest podcast, if you're not, you will actually suffer a massive cortisol spike immediately.
If you want to avoid suffering this cortisol spike that I'm now using magic to attack you with, then you need to sign up to become a subscriber to the podcast.
So yeah, it's true, you need to do it.
You can listen to that.
I can summarize his theory, and that is that there was a civilization, a lost civilization during the Ice Age, which perished during a time of global cataclysmic events.
So great floods and everything like that.
Now, if someone asks me, do I believe in his theories?
I will say not in his final analysis.
I don't believe everything he says.
I do want to believe because it's cool.
I like it.
It fires up my imagination.
Interesting stuff.
I can still recommend that you read this book and then you can analyze everything he says for yourself.
So my point here, the reason I'm talking about this book when we're talking about Hyperborea and Agartha and everything like that, is that if he presents a whole host of various takes, you can analyze them, think for yourself a bit, and then entertain the thoughts.
So I don't believe that there was a great civilization that was lost during the Ice Age.
I do believe that he has many interesting insights that can lead us to other conclusions.
So that is something that we can say.
Same thing if we're talking about Hyperborea.
Same thing if we're talking about Atlantis.
Now, I'm an enjoyer of Plato, so I'm gonna believe him when he says that Atlantis was real.
How did it look?
Who knows?
Now, when we're talking about Atlantis here, and by the way, I'm just schizomaxing now, so I'm just throwing out insights.
I have good hormones trained tieboxing today, so I'm quite fired up still.
Now, if we have such a thing as Troy, people believed Troy was just a legend.
Then a German businessman and enthusiast archaeologist, he said, let's go, champs.
And then he funded an excavation and they found Troy.
So shout out Heinrich Schliemann, so the German businessman who found Troy.
So sometimes a thing can be a myth and there can be something behind it.
I do believe there might be some place that we can trace and say this was Atlantis.
Now when we're talking about a myth, it's not necessarily the case that it aligns perfectly with an eyewitness account, but it can tell us something at least.
And it can spark the imagination.
It can serve as an animating myth for us to explore certain areas.
So we might not find Atlantis as we have perceived of it, but we can find something similar.
Same thing again if we're talking about the work of Graham Hancock.
Maybe we don't find a civilization that was lost, but we can find something similar and that can lead us to something else.
So I'm not saying that Graham Hancock is right, but I'm saying that we can entertain his insights so they can lead us to maybe something else.
So maybe we don't find the treasure we're looking for, but we're finding something of equal interest.
Now, moving on to Agartha, I posted a nice picture of this book.
Let's see how many pages I've read.
I have read, we have read 77 pages of it.
And in all honesty, I can't really recommend it.
It doesn't make super much sense.
I will finish it at some stage.
I've been reading some other stuff for my upcoming book.
Currently writing the chapter about Burma, Myanmar.
But anyway, I will continue reading this book at some stage.
Not something I would necessarily recommend since there are so many good books to read.
But anyway, what is Agartha?
So Agartha is a mythological kingdom on the inside of the earth.
So hollow earth theory.
So you see here, a journey into the hollow earth.
Do I believe that there is a kingdom hidden under the crust of the earth?
No, not necessarily.
I yeah, I don't.
I don't.
It would be cool though.
It would be cool.
So when we're talking about Agartha, it could be something that points to a myth that has some sort of bearing in reality.
Is it exactly like, you know, you envision it when you skit some acts?
No, probably not, but it can fire up our imagination and it can point to something similar.
Same thing with Shambhala, by the way.
Now I say Shambhala, I mean it as a state of mind, a state of consciousness that you feel good.
You are in Shambhala in the spirit.
So you feel good because of good hormones from training or whatever it might be from sunlight, from healthy living, from being a good and kind soul, then you are in Shambhala or you are in Agartha in the spirit.
So that is one interpretation of it at least.
Now, is it real again?
Is there such a kingdom?
It's interesting to entertain these myths.
You don't need to believe it 100%.
You don't need to believe it literally, but you can still entertain it so that you, one, you get that, you know, firing up of your imagination and the mystery, the sense of mystery of the world.
And this is also, by the way, why I don't recommend atheism as a worldview, because you take away so much of the mysteries of the world.
You instead you want to have a world full of life, essentially, of spirits, of angels, demons, all of these things, because it's more fun, simply put.
Same thing if we're talking about Agartha, all of these edits, you don't need to believe that there has been a subterranean kingdom called Agartha that you can travel into.
You don't need to literally believe it, but if you entertain it as a myth, it can spark your imagination and lead to God knows where.
So it's still good.
It's good with these Agartha edits.
And as I said in my post, I get white-pilled when I see the youth, the younger guys and girls, they are talking about all of these things.
Because As I said also in the post, if you have this as an animating myth, instead of, you know, hip-hop subculture where you're talking about making fast money and mistreating women, some white guys they have been attracted to that aesthetic, but now we have many white guys that are instead attracted to, you know, the more schizo things, schizo edits about Hyperborea and Agartha and everything like that.
So anyway, to conclude, is Agartha real?
It's real in our hearts.
So anyway, do continue with the Agartha edits.
It warms my heart.
Now, moving on to Hyperborea.
As I said in my video with Disco Orfeus, I said that there could be a link to, you know, real history, as it were, of a primordial homeland in the Arctic Circle.
So a European, such as myself, were made up of three main population groups.
So we have first and foremost the Western hunter-gatherers, and then we have Anatolian Neolithic farmers, and then we have...
So these two mix, and they become the early European farmers.
Then coming in from the steppes of what is today Russia and Ukraine, we have the Western steppe herders, also known as the Indo-Europeans or the Aryans.
A bit controversial term, but I like it because it sounds cool.
So these guys come in and then we are all so modern Europeans were a mix of all three and then depending on where you are in Europe you might have a bit less and a bit more of the respective three groups.
So anyway, the Western steppe herders, the Aryans, they're also made up of Eastern hunter-gatherers.
And these guys, these Chads, they hunted mammoths on the Siberian steppe in earlier years.
So they come down and they mix and then they create, they are part of the European story.
So one part of the story.
And there you have the R1B and R1A haplogroups.
So I don't know which haplogroup I have myself.
Maybe one of those or I1.
I don't know.
But most guys in Western Europe have R1B and many guys in Eastern Europe they have R1A.
So very successful genetic group and they might have, you know, some sort of memory from a homeland in the far north in the polar circle.
Who knows?
Who knows?
Was it an advanced civilization that collapsed during some sort of cataclysmic event?
Who knows?
It's interesting to entertain the thought.
Whatever happened, we can at least say that part of us can, you know, we can trace back to the Siberian steppe.
Part of our blood.
Maybe there's some blood memory there.
Maybe that's why we like this Hyperborea edit.
Who knows?
Who knows?
I'm saying that even though some of the schizotics are too much to entertain, maybe they are too much to, you know, fully back.
I can't back it fully myself.
I'm not gonna say it's true.
I'm not gonna say that Hyperborea was an actual place in the Arctic Circle that we can that was our primordial homeland.
But I can say that part of me, the say Eastern hunter-gatherer part, could find some sort of primordial homeland in the far north.
That is a fair assessment at least.
Now also when we're talking about Hyperborea, the ancestral homeland of the Western steppe herders, the Aryans, whatever we shall refer to that part of our spirit as.
So daily reminder that I'm not 100% Aryan, I'm 50% Aryan or so.
I haven't done the DNA test, but since I'm Swedish, we usually have like 50% Aryan, something like that, same in Finland, Norway, Ireland.
Anyway, so part of me could maybe trace my lineage back to a primordial homeland far north in Siberia.
Who knows?
Who knows?
I'm just throwing out some material for you to meditate upon and then come up with your own conclusion.
What I do want to say is that if we have many myths saying something similar, that there is a primordial homeland in the far north, maybe there is something to it.
So we're gonna read from this very good book.
This is a good book I can recommend.
Pagan Imperialism by my favourite author, Julius Evola.
When I say favourite author, it doesn't mean I agree with his every take, it means that I enjoy reading his books.
Now we're gonna quote.
The Indo-Aryan tradition knows of Shvetadvipa, the island of splendor, also located in the extreme north, where Narayana, the one who is the light and who stands above the waters, above the randomness of events, resides.
They also speak of the Uttarakura, a primordial Nordic race.
For them, Nordic means the solar path of the gods, Deva Yana, and the term Uttara conveys the concept of everything sublime, elevated and superior.
What can be called Arya, Aryan, in the sense of Nordic.
Julius Evola, Pagan Imperialism, page 7.
So, absolutely epic stuff indeed.
And now we can say something very important that this might be real in a historical sense.
It might be real in a mythological sense, because a myth is always real, like an archetype.
So you can use something like from Lord of the Rings, we have Aragorn as an archetype, as myth, the returning king.
So it's a fictional character in Tolkien's work, but it's also true because it's an archetype that comes back every once in a while in history.
So the archetype of the returning king.
Same thing when we're talking about these myths.
They can be true as myths and then maybe not historically accurate, but it's worth investigating at least.
Just as the case with Troy and Heinrich Schliemann.
Now we're also gonna quote from this fine book right here.
And you have probably heard me recite this quote before because it's so epic.
Through all the ancient legends of the peoples of the Andes stalked a tall, bearded, pale-skinned figure wrapped in a cloak of secrecy.
And though he was known by many different names in many different places, he was always recognizably the same figure, Viracocha, foam of the sea, a master of science and magic, who wielded terrible weapons and it came in a time of chaos to set the world to rights.
Same thing here, even if the overall theory, the final analysis of Graham Hancock, they might not be real.
They're probably not real.
I'm just gonna say it.
But it's cool, it's worth entertaining, and some of it's and some of his takes might lead to some conclusions which are real.
So if you read this book, for example, you can take some insights, accept them, you can contemplate some other insights without accepting them, and then you can discard some insights which sound crazy or whatever it might be.
My main point here is that it's good to use these myths to stoke our imagination, to get us to search for things, because we don't know what we find.
Might be that we find something cool.
So anyway, about Graham Hancock, he's a bit of an insufferable boomer, I must admit, politically speaking, but in terms of being a journalist, a seeker of knowledge, then I like him.
Entertaining Myths 00:00:57
I must say that I do like him in that capacity.
And I hope he finds many interesting places in the world and I will continue reading his books and, you know, partake of his new findings.
And I can do so without accepting everything he says, but maybe his findings will lead us to some new insights.
So anyway, I have rambled on enough now.
I hope that was somewhat interesting or entertaining or whatever.
I just wanted to share my enthusiasm for all of the Agartha, for the enthusiasm of Agartha and Hyperborea that we've seen as of late.
So, anyway, thank you for listening.
