Shamballa-the-Lesser is inhabited by the Hyperborean civilization which left the surface of this planet well over 40,000 years ago.
The Hyperboreans were, at the time, in charge of making decisions for the Agartha Network.
This network now consists of about 120 subterranean Cities of Light, mostly inhabited by Hyperboreans; four of the cities are Lemurian and a couple are Atlantean.
The second race is Hyperborean (ethereal beings in a northern polar continent), the third Lemurian (gigantic, egg-laying precursors to humans on a southern continent), and the fourth Atlantean (technologically advanced, destroyed by cataclysms).
However, these theories focus on singular interventions (e.g., in Sumer or Egypt) rather than sequential humanities, and lack the text’s structured five-phase model or specific Antarctic/Hyperborean origins.

Polar Race and Hyperboreans
In Chapter X, Rudolf Steiner describes the evolution of the second root race, known as the Hyperborean Race, following the first, or Polar, Race.
Steiner begins by explaining that the Hyperborean Race emerged from an era when humans were incorporated into subtle matter known as "firemist."
The Hyperborean Race's bodily appearance can be likened to a slumbering state of consciousness, lacking intelligence, understanding, and reason.
Despite their dim consciousness, the Hyperborean beings exhibited perfectly regulated movements and life expressions.
These higher beings were more developed than the Hyperboreans and had the capacity to incorporate themselves into the firemist, facilitating communication and interconnection with humanity.
The Hyperboreans' inclinations, instincts, and passions were clothed in firemist, providing a medium through which higher beings could exert influence.
These beings created within the firemist, using their reason and intelligence, guiding the evolution of the Hyperborean Race.
As the Hyperborean Race evolved, their physical forms began to solidify, gradually adopting more defined and structured characteristics.
The people of this second race were called the Hyperboreans.
Hyperboreans: Had a dream consciousness clearer than Petri consciousness.
Mixture of Hyperboreans, Lemurians, and later Atlanteans.
From this mixture of Hyperboreans, Lemurians, and later also Atlanteans, there emerged initiates who were different from the initiates we look upon as our teachers today.
Niflheim: Misty region of the north, representing the Hyperborean root race.
Niflheim is the misty region of the north, the dawning mist-filled conditions of the Hyperborean root race, in contrast to Muspelheim.
Second Root Race: The Hyperborean Race - Also primarily etheric but began developing some physical traits.
Then Polarians and Hyperboreans briefly.
The second root race, the Hyperboreans, is more physical but still not fully material.
