Underground civilizations link with the 'Hollow Earth
Theory'. There are supposedly races that exist in
subterranean cities beneath planet Earth. Very often, these
dwellers of the world beneath are more technologically
advanced than we on the surface. Some believe that UFOs are
not from other planets, but are manufactured by strange
beings in the interior of the Earth.
In the late 17th century, British astronomer Edmund Halley
proposed that Earth consists of four concentric spheres and
"also suggested that the interior of the Earth was populated
with life and lit by a luminous atmosphere. He thought the
aurora borealis, or northern lights, was caused by the escape
of this gas through a thin crust at the poles."
In the early 19th century, an eccentric veteran of the war of
1812 John Symmes promoted the idea of interior concentric
spheres so widely that the alleged opening to the inner world
was named "Symmes Hole."
Jules Verne wrote Journey to the Center of the Earth in 1864
and Edgar Rice Burroughs (1875-1950), the creator of Martian
adventures and Tarzan of the Apes, also wrote novels set in
the hollow earth. Legends often ignite the imagination of
fiction writers and fiction often ignites the imagination of
the pseudoscientist.
In
1869, Cyrus Reed Teed, an herbalist and self-proclaimed
alchemist, had a vision of a woman who told him that we are
living on the inside of the hollow Earth. For nearly forty
years, Teed promoted his idea in pamphlets and speeches. He
even founded a cult called the Koreshans (Koresh is the
Hebrew equivalent of Cyrus).
In 1906, William Reed published The Phantom of the Poles in
which he claimed that nobody had found the north or south
poles because they don't exist. Instead, the poles are
entrances to the hollow Earth.
In
1913, Marshall B. Gardner privately published Journey to the
Earth's Interior in which he rejected the notion of
concentric spheres but swore that inside the hollow earth was
a sun 600 miles in diameter. Gardner, too, claimed that there
were huge holes a thousand mile wide at the poles.
In the 1940s, Ray Palmer, co-founder of FATE, Flying Saucers
from Other Worlds, Search, The Hidden World, and many other
pulp publications, teamed up with Richard Shaver to create
the Shaver Mystery, a legend of a world of hollow earth
people and an advanced civilization. Shaver even claimed to
have dwelled with the inner Earth people.
According
to Richard Toronto, the FBI blamed Palmer and Shaver for
concocting "flying saucer hysteria" in 1947, making them the
true founding fathers of modern UFOlogy.
ADMIRAL
BYRD
In 1964, Raymond W. Bernard, an esotericist and leader of the
Rosicrucians published The Hollow Earth - The Greatest
Geographical Discovery in History Made by Admiral Richard E.
Byrd in the Mysterious Land Beyond the Poles - The True
Origin of the Flying Saucers.
Admiral
Richard E. Byrd of the United States Navy flew to the North
Pole in 1926 and over the South Pole in 1929.
In his diary, he tells of entering the hollow interior of the
earth, along with others and traveling 17 miles over
mountains, lakes, rivers, green vegetation, and animal life.
He tells of seeing tremendous animals --resembling the
mammoths of antiquity moving --through the brush. He
eventually found cities and a thriving civilization. The
external temperature was 74 degress F.
His airplane was greeted by flying machines of a type he had
never seen before. They escorted him to a safe landing area
where he was graciously greeted by emissaries from Agartha.
After resting, he and his crew, were taken to meet the king
and queen of Agartha. They told him that he had been allowed
to enter Agartha because of his high moral and ethical
character. They went on to say that they worried about the
safety of planet due to he bombs and other testing done above
the surface by goverments. After the visit Byrd and his crew
were guided back to the surface of the planet.
In January of 1956 Admiral Byrd led an expedition to the
South Pole. On that expedition he and his crew penetrated
down 2,300 miles into the center of the earth. Admiral Byrd
stated that the North and South Poles are only two of many
openings into the center of the Earth. He wrote about seeing
a sun below the Earth.
- The Hollow Earth - Dr. Raymond Bernard tells stories about
people who have entered the inner earth and what has happened
to them. It mentions a photograph published in 1960 in the
Globe and Mail in Toronto, Canada which shows a beautiful
valley with lush hills. An aviator claimed that he had taken
the picture while flying into the North Pole.
Bernard
also authored Flying Saucers from the Earth's Interior. His
real name was Walter Seigmeister. In his Letters from
Nowhere, Bernard claims to have been in contact with great
mystics in secret ashrams and with Grand Lamas in Tibet. He
was, in short, another Gurdjieff. Dr. Bernard "died of
pneumonia on September 10, 1965, while searching the tunnel
openings to the interior of the Earth, in South America."
Bernard seems to have accepted every legend ever associated
with the hollow Earth idea, including the notions that the
Eskimos originated within the Earth and an advanced
civilization dwells within even now, revving up their UFOs
for occasional forays into thin air. Bernard even accepts
without question Shaver's claim that he learned the secret of
relativity before Einstein from the Hollow Earth people.
Admiral
Byrd actually referred to Antarctica as "The Land of
Everlasting Mystery". He once wrote: "I'd like to see that
land beyond the (North) Pole. That area beyond the Pole is
the Center of the Great Unknown."
NAZI
LINK
The belief in a hollow Earth had some adherents in Nazi
Germany. There is even a legend which says that Hitler and
his chief advisers escaped the last days of the Third Reich
by going through the opening at the South Pole.
Some of Hitler's top advisors - perhaps even Hitler himself -
believed that the Earth was hollow; and there was at least
one expedition by the Nazi military to exploit that belief
for strategic advantage during the war.
As with all such stories, it's often difficult to sort out
facts, exaggerations, and outright fabrications. But it's
anintriguing tale, and one that requires a little background.
The "inverted Earth" theory, claims that we - our
civilization - actually exists on the inside of the globe. We
are held fast to the ground not by gravity, but by
centrifugal force as the Earth rotates. The stars, so goes
the theory, are twinkling chunks of ice suspended high in the
air, and the illusion of day and night is caused by a
rotating central sun that is half brilliant, half dark. Cyrus
Teed, an alchemist from Utica, N.Y., was one of the first
people to popularize this idea. So obsessed was he with the
idea that he founded a religion based on it, changed his name
to Koresh, and established a commune for Koreshanity in
Chicago in 1888. In Germany, independently of the Koreshans,
another group also was founded that adhered to the inverted
Earth idea, and it was this concept that was accepted by some
segments of the Nazi hierarchy.
The scenario told at the beginning of this article accepts
one hollow Earth theory, while the facts seem to show that
some Nazis actually believed in the other.
Hitler's Nazis were convinced that they were destined to rule
the world, and they came to this warped conclusion through
the acceptance of many occult beliefs and practices,
including astrology, the prophecies of Nostradamus, and the
hollow/inverted Earth theory.
Because they suspected that our surface is on the interior of
a concave Earth, Hitler sent an expedition, including Dr.
Heinz Fischer and powerful telescopic cameras, to the Baltic
island of Rugen to spy on the British fleet. Fischer did so
not by aiming his cameras across the waters, but by pointing
them up to peer across the atmosphere to the Atlantic Ocean.
The expedition was a failure, of course. Fischer's cameras
saw nothing but sky, and the British fleet remained safe.
There's the legend... that Hitler and many of his Nazi
minions escaped Germany in the closing days of World War II
and fled to Antarctica where at the South Pole they had
discovered an entrance to the Earth's interior. According to
the Hollow Earth Research Society in Ontario, Canada, they
are still there. After the war, the organization claims, the
Allies discovered that more than 2,000 scientists from
Germany and Italy had vanished, along with almost a million
people, to the land beyond the South Pole. This story gets
more complicated with Nazi-designed UFOs, Nazi collaboration
with the people who live in the center of the Earth, and the
explanation for "Aryan-looking" UFO pilots.
AGARTHA
There
is allegedly a civilization of people living in the center of
the Earth in a place called Agartha.
Agartha is one of the most common names cited for the society
of underground dwellers Agharta, its capital city,
Shambalah.
The source for this information is The Smoky God the
biography of a Norwegian sailor named Olaf Jansen. Agartha
- Secrets of the Subterranean Cities by Willis Emerson,
explains how Jansen's sloop sailed through an entrance to
the Earth's interior at the North Pole. For two years he
lived with the inhabitants of the Agharta network of
colonies who, Emerson writes, were a full 12 feet tall and
whose world was lit by a "smoky" central sun. Shamballa
the Lesser, one of the colonies, was also the seat of
government for the network. While Shamballa the Lesser is
an inner continent, its satellite colonies are smaller
enclosed ecosystems located just beneath the Earth' s
crust or discreetly within mountains."
The
many cataclysms and wars taking place on the surface drove
these people underground, according to Secrets: Consider the
lengthy Atlantean-Lemurian war and the power of thermonuclear
weaponry that eventually sank and destroyed these two highly
advanced civilizations. The Sahara, the Gobi, the Australian
Outback and the deserts of the U.S. are but a few examples of
the devastation that resulted. The sub-cities were created as
refuges for the people and as safe havens for sacred records,
teachings and technologies that were cherished by these
ancient cultures.

BUDDHIST
THEORY
It
is believed to be a race of supermen and superwomen who
occasionally come to the surface to oversee the development
of the human race. It is also believed that this subterranean
world has millions of inhabitants and many cities, its
capital being Shambala.
Ancient philosophy states that Agartha was first colonized
thousands of years ago when a holy man lead a tribe to the
underground. The people have scientific knowledge and
expertice far beyond that of the people who live on the
surface of the planet.
INDIA
The
Ramayana one of the most famous texts of India, tells the
story of the great avatar, Rama. It describes Rama as "an
emissary from Agartha" who arrived on an
air vehicle.
In India there is an ancient belief, still held by some, in a
subterranean race of serpent people who dwell in the cities
Patala and Bhogavati. According to the legend, they wage war
on the kingdom of Agharta. "The Nagas," according to "The
Deep Dwellers," "are described as a very advanced race or
species, with a highly-developed technology. They also harbor
a disdain for human beings, whom they are said to abduct,
torture, interbreed with and even to eat."
The Entrances. While the entrance to Bhogavati is somewhere
in the Himalayas, believers assert that Patala can be entered
through the Well of Sheshna in Benares, India. Says William
Michael Mott in "The Deep Dwellers": "According to
herpetologist and author Sherman A. Minton, as stated in his
book Venomous Reptiles, this entrance is very real, with
forty steps which descend into a circular depression, to
terminate at a closed stone door which is covered in
bas-relief cobras.
In Tibet, there is a major mystical shrine also called
'Patala,' which is said by the people there to sit atop an
ancient cavern and tunnel system, which reaches throughout
the Asian continent and possibly beyond. The Nagas also have
an affinity with water, and the entrances to their
underground palaces are often said to be hidden at the bottom
of wells, deep lakes and rivers."
The Old Ones - The Beings. In an article entitled "The Hollow
Earth: Myth or Reality" for Atlantis Rising, Brad Steiger
writes of the legends of "the Old Ones," an ancient race that
populated the surface world millions of years ago and then
moved underground. "The Old Ones, an immensely intelligent
and scientifically advanced race," Steiger writes, "have
chosen to structure their own environment under the surface
of the planet and manufacture all their necessities.
The Old Ones are hominid, extremely long-lived, and pre-date
Homo sapiens by more than a million years. The Old Ones
generally remain aloof from the surface peoples, but from
time to time, they have been known to offer constructive
criticism; and it has been said, they often kidnap human
children to tutor and rear as their own."
The Elder Race - The Beings. One of the most controversial
tales of inner Earth dwellers is the so-called "Shaver
Mystery." In 1945, Amazing Stories magazine under the
editorship of Ray Palmer ran a story told by Richard Shaver,
who claimed he had recently been the guest of what remained
of an underground civilization. Although few really believed
the story, any many suspect that Shaver may actually have
been psychotic, Shaver always averred that his story was
true.
He contended that the Elder Race, or Titans, came to this
planet from another solar system in our prehistoric past.
After a while of living on the surface, they realized our sun
was causing them to age prematurely, so they escaped
underground, building huge subterranean complexes in which to
live. Eventually, they decided to seek a new home on a new
planet, evacuating the Earth and leaving behind their
underground cities populated by mutated beings: the evil Dero
- detrimental robots - and the good Tero - integrated robots.
It was these beings that Shaver claimed to have met.
The Entrance. Despite the enormous popularity of the Shaver
Mystery in Amazing Stories - Palmer milked it for all it was
worth, and then some - the location of the entrance to this
underground world was never divulged.
Quetzalcoatl
is linked to the gods of Mesoamerica.
Legend has it that he vanished on a flying saucer for eight
days when he visited the inner worlds beneath the
sea.

To
many practical researchers, the “hollow earth” theory is a
misleading title.. The earth is not hollow per se,
much like many interpreters have mistakenly thought - but the
earth does indeed have thousands of miles of underground
cavern systems, some estimated to be the size of continents,
complete with interior bodys of water, some roughly the size
of smaller surface oceans like the Mediterranean, with
diverse and populated ecosystems equally as teeming as what
we have on the surface. What life could have adapted
here over many aeons is hard to speculate. But if
ancient myths are any clue........
