250 million years ago, when the continents of the Earth were a single continent called Pangaea, life and nature existed in the most beautiful harmony. After the continents broke up, mankind was repeatedly divided, but originally all civilisations were one. The continents separated by the sea were returned to Pangaea.
The energy accumulated by Agartha deep underground is now shifting the terrestrial world.
