Is the Earth Hollow?

This intriguing question has attracted the attention of freethinkers, scientists and a wide assortment of crackpots backthrough the ages.

The most ancient of stories of modern mankind can be foundwritten on the clay tablets of Mesopotamia. Two, "Gilgamesh"(Table XII) and "The Descent of Ishtar to the Underworld", areabout adventures among different kinds of creatures inside theearth.

Plato wrote of enormous subterranean tunnels both broad andnarrow that made up the earth's interior. Dr. Edmond Halley, ofcomet fame, believed that all heavenly bodies were hollow andin a speech before the members of the Royal Society of Londonstated, "Beneath the crust of the Earth, which is 500 feet thick,is a hollow void". Then there was Leonard Euler (1707-1783),noted mathematician and one of the founders of highermathematics. He stated that, "mathematically the Earth has to

be hollow". He also believed there "was a center sun inside theEarth's interior, which provided daylight to a splendidsubterranean civilization."

Next came Captain John Cleves Symmes, war hero of the War of1812. Once his studies led him to believe in a Hollow Earth, heused his knowledge to convince James McBride, a Miami Ohio

millionaire. Mr. McBride used his political connections to Rep.Richard M. Johnson (D) of Kentucky [later vice-president underVan Buren 1837-18411] to petition congress to finance anexpedition to claim the lands inside the earth for the U.S. The

petition, by a vote of 56-46 was tabled.

The Hollow Earth was next theorized by William Reed in his1906 book "The Phantom of The Poles". Based on his studies ofearly Arctic explorations and scientific evidence, he states thatthe Earth is not solid as widely believed, but hollow withopenings at both ends. In the summary of his revolutionarytheory, Reed states;

"The Earth is hollow. The Poles, so long sought, are phantoms.

There are openings at the northern and southern extremities. Inthe interior are vast continents, oceans, mountains and rivers.Vegetable and animal life are evident in this New World and it isprobably peopled by races unknown to dwellers on the Earth'ssurface".

Marshall B. Gardner reached the same conclusions after 20years of researched and published his finding in "A Journey tothe Earth's Interior, or, Have the Poles Really Been Discovered"in 1913, revised 1920. He was unaware of Reed or his theory at

the time. Mr. Gardner puts forth the argument that neither Cooknor Peary reached the True North Pole since, according to thetheory, it does not exist. Mr. Gardner states;

"Scientific societies that considered Cook's and Peary's claimsconcluded that in neither case could it be said authoritativelythat the explorer had reached the pole".

This controversy still exists today.Science fiction writers have had a field day with the theory.

Jules Verne's "Journey to the Center of the Earth, Edgar RiceBorrough's "Tarzan at the Earth's Core" and scores of otherauthors have let their talents run wild in the Inner World. Grade-B film makers know a good theme when they find one also.

Then there are those people who claim to have visited theinterior of our planet. Olaf Janson's "The Smoky God", is onesuch story that comes to mind. Another is "EDIDORPHA or TheEnd Of The Earth" by John Uri Lloyd published in 1895.

Ray Palmer was one of the first researchers and reporters onthe UFO scene during the 50s and 60s. In his ground breakingpublications "Flying Saucers" and Search Magazine hespeculated that, because UFOs have been seen in earth's skythroughout history , they may very well be from our earth, infact, evidence seemed to indicate that UFOs could very wellcome from a subterranean world inside our earth.

Then on the cover of "Flying Saucers" magazine issue #69 -

June 1970 and in issue #92 of "Search Magazine" published inJuly of 1970, the late Mr. Palmer published a photo that is still acontroversy. Excerpts from his Editorial in the above mentioned"Flying Saucers" magazine tell it best;

"On the cover this month we reproduce the most remarkablephoto ever made. It was taken by the ESSA-7 satellite onNovember 23, 1968 the North Pole photo lacking clouds in thepolar area, therefore reveals the surface of the planet.Although, surrounding the polar area, and north of such areas

as the North American continent and Greenland and the Asiancontinent, we can see the ice-fields 8-foot thick ice we do notsee any ice fields in a large circular area directly at thegeographic pole. Instead we see THE HOLE!"

In 1981 I came into possession of another group of NASA photosshowing earth from deep in space which, not only substantiatesthe ESSA-7 photos, but adds weight to another feature of thehollow earth theory.

At this point any practical person will start to ask themselves, ifthis is all true why isn't it common and accepted knowledge. AsRay Palmer said in one of his articles;

" A government that will not tell you what they know aboutUFOs would certainly keep the origin of then a secret".

Then there are those researchers who say some of us spend

entirely too much time looking at the poles.

"Certain researchers swear the earth is shaped like a giantdoughnut and that holes at the poles provide an entrance into

the inner lands. "Not so!" shouts another group. "Entrance tothe interior world can be gained only by entering a cave anddiscovering the subterranean tunnels.""

Most of the people who claim to have visited the inner landsarrive there through old mine shafts, caves and subterraneantunnels. Others claim to have traveled through extentvolcanoes. There is good solid evidence supporting all thesetheories. Evidence also supports the possibility of other hiddenentrances to the inner realms in The Bermuda Triangle and

other strange areas around the world.

One of these areas of interest in the Pacific Northwestern areaof the United States. It was in this area that the name "FlyingSaucers" was first heard.

"On June 24, 1947, Kenneth Arnold, a businessman andcommercial pilot from Boise, Idaho, was flying past MountRainier, in Mount Rainier National Park, State of Washington,when he sighted a strange formation of nine luminous saucer-

shaped objects. He related this unusual experience to newsmenand news of the mysterious objects dubbed "flying saucers" wasspread nationwide".

UFOs are quite common in the area. In fact the thousands ofmiles of untrodden land that makes up the extremeNorthwestern part of America hides many unexplainedmysteries. This is the land of "Bigfoot" or "Sasquatch" as thelocal Native Americans call him. In connection with our researchinto different possibilities we offer the following interesting story

which was reported in the January 1975 issue of "Saga" by B.Ann Slate;

"In April 1974, Psychic Joyce Partise of Southern California helda sealed envelope in her hands. Unknown to her, that envelopecontained a photograph of a Sasquatch footprint {Ms Partisesaid] "These things are coming from outer space - it's an outer

space war! The first area will be Portland, Oregon. There's amountain with a hole in it. Someone should investigate thismountain because they're down in there already. You knowthose hairy things that run around, the ape man? He's not an

ape. They're underground, in contact with outer space and theirintentions toward mankind is total destruction!.. this gorilla man- there's a civilization of thousands of them their eyes areextremely light sensitive from being underground. Thesetunnels I'm seeing is part of their habitation. They've dug them.I think it may even go into California"

Just south of the Oregon - California border the snow-cappedpeak of mysterious Mt. Shasta keeps her secrets. Locally thereare whispers of certain merchants quietly doing business, for

gold, with strange young looking men with piercing blue eyeswearing unusual clothing and footwear, who mysteriously, uponcompleting their business fade away into the wilderness. Arethese mysterious consumers from the legendary undergroundcity of "Telos" said to exist under Mt. Shasta? Could theyactually be descendants of the lost continent of "Lemuria".Could the strange men seen in the small communities of thearea be on a "munchies run" for their underground friends?Anything is possible in the realm of the underground.
