Project AGARTHA

Project AGARTHA is an Above Top Secret U.S. Government study of the rumored "Men from within the Earth" of the mythical underground civilization known as Agartha.

Project AGARTHA has had three intelligence heads: NSA Operative-132, FBI Agent Cooper, and Agent Cooper's successor. They in turn reported to General Burton, head of the U.S. Army's Special Projects Division.

Background
Little is known about Project AGARTHA outside of what information that Operative-132 and Agent Cooper have revealed.

It is known that Project AGARTHA was started in July 1952. General Burton and the U.S. Army appear to have some oversight on the effort.

It is known that some of the Project AGARTHA documents are at least partially based on the research of the Nazi Dr. Ernst Schafer, who explored Tibet in 1938-39 searching for a fabled entrance to the underground civilization of Agartha.

Operative-132 stated that the Agarthans have names that tend to start with the letter "Z". And that they've "sent a few men down there, but everybody they've sent down there comes back in a body bag."

It is known that FBI Agent Nicholson was recruited onto Project AGARTHA by Operative-132 and sometime in 1953 went undercover in Agartha itself. He was down there for nearly a year when he escaped, bringing with him the stolen Sapphire of Agartha.

It is known that Agent Cooper recruited NSA Operative-1138 and CIA Agent White onto Project AGARTHA in July 1955. Both agents only lasted less than 24 hours before they were killed.

In August 1955, following the deaths of Operative-1138, Agent White, FBI Assistant Director Smith, and Kate Cooper, FBI Agent Cooper was removed as head of Project AGARTHA and a successor replaced him.
