[http://onelight.com/forster/earthforster1.htm](http://onelight.com/forster/earthforster1.htm)
IS OUR EARTH REALLY HOLLOW?
Why are "Hollow Earthers" simply not getting anywhere in their sincere quest
for the fabled "Inner Earth", which is believed to exist within Earth’s
800-miles thick outer crustal shell?
Can it be because orthodox science is correct in believing that our planet
(like all the other terrestrial planets) is a solid-crusted and semi-molten
ball of rock, through to its central core? Or is it because they have no
possible way of knowing if it is actually solid, or not?
Or could it, as many have suggested, be due to some world-wide secretive
"Cover-Up" by powerful global political power groups and all the scientific
organizations which they control?
Here, acting as an alternative-science investigator, I will endeavour to
present a even-handed but critical examination of the prevailing concepts in
an effort to discover if there is any basis of real truth behind the
present-day revival of all the time-honoured "Hollow Earth" reports,myths,
legends and theories.
Read on and decide for yourself what is the real truth behind the whole
concept of a hollow inner earth, and what a political and mercenary
power-group on the surface might stand to gain or lose by the honest
revelation or admission of the existence of such a vast new territory, which
would immediately become available for all manner of exploitation and
territorial annexation by the nation who discovered it - if it were proved
to actually exist!

Kubla Khan.
In Xanadu did Kubla Khan a stately pleasure-dome decree:
Where Alph, the sacred river, ran through caverns measureless to man
Down to a sunless sea.
So twice five miles of fertile ground with walls and towers were girded
round
And there were gardens bright with sinuous rills where blossomed many an
incense-bearing tree;
And here were forests ancient as the hills, enfolding sunny spots of
greenery.
But O, that deep romantic chasm which slanted down the green hill athwart a
cedern grove!
A savage place! As holy and enchanted as e’er beneath a waning moon was
haunted
By woman wailing for her demon-lover!
And from this chasm, with ceaseless turmoil seething, as if this earth in
thick fast pants was breathing,
A mighty fountain momently was forced; amid whose swift half-intermitted
burst
Huge fragments vaulted like rebounding hail, or chaffy grain beneath the
thresher’s flail:
And ‘mid these dancing rocks at once and ever it flung up momently the
sacred river
Five miles meandering with a mazy motion through wood and dale the sacred
river ran,
Then reached the caverns measureless to man and sank in tumult to a lifeless
ocean
And ‘mid this tumult Kubla heard from afar ancestral voices prophesying war!
The shadow of the dome of pleasure floated midway on the waves;
Where was heard the mingled measure from the fountains and the caves.
It was a miracle of rare device, a sunny pleasure-dome with caves of ice!
A damsel with a dulcimer in a vision once I saw:
It was an Abyssinian maid, and on her dulcimer she played,
Singing of Mount Abora.
Could I revive within me, her symphony and song,
To such a deep delight ‘twould win me, that with music loud and long,
I would build that dome in air, that sunny dome! Those caves of ice!
And all who heard should see them there, and all should cry Beware! Beware!
His flashing teeth his floating hair! Weave a circle round him thrice,
and close your eyes with holy dread, for he on honey-dew hath fed
And drunk the milk of Paradise!
Samuel Taylor Coleridge (1772-1834)
(Editor’s Footnote. A Close and attentive perusal of the above poem will
reveal
Several astonishing parallels to the concept of an idyllic world within the
heart of
the Earth, where perrenial calm and Paradisic bliss are to be found. But the
author
also hints at the dangers and savage demonic influences one might well
encounter
should one decide to follow Kubla Khan’s dreamlike under-world pursuit of
peace
and tranquillity. GF.)
Is Our Earth Hollow?
A Hypothetical Dissertation
by Gerry Forster.
Since so much has been written and discussed on this allegedly
"Far-Out"topic, I feel it is worth examining the concept of a Hollow Earth a
little further, if for no other reason than to satisfy the curiosity of any
readers who may find this idea of interest. That it is an interesting
concept, cannot be denied, even though it may well be scoffed and sneered at
by my more learned scientific thinkers and scholars. However, since these
same people also deride the concept of God and Jesus Christ, I am not
terribly concerned about making their lips curl a tad more. Obviously those
extremely profound words of Shakespeare, uttered by his Danish Prince,
Hamlet: "There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio, than are dreamt
of in your philosophy" carry no particular meaning for the "omniscient
sages" such scholars imagine themselves to be!
Hyperborea And Ultima Thule.
Before we actually look into the actual Hollow Earth theory itself, I think
we should perhaps first consider the ancient and subsequent North Polar
mythos that led to the Hollow Earth theory being propounded. We will need to
begin by studying some of the legendary lands which have been perpetuated in
the folk-history of the Scandinavian and Germanic peoples, even though these
legends owe some of their origins to the ancient Greeks and the Aryans of
Central Asia. Two major mystic and magical lands spring to mind here;
Hyperborea and Ultima Thule - which both feature greatly in Nordic
mythology, besides having, from all accounts, actually existed somewhere
within the Arctic regions of the world in ancient times. However, before we
go in search of concrete evidence, let’s examine some of the legendary
background for both of these places - which might well, in fact, have been
one and the same!
Hyperborea.
the first mention we find of the Hyperboreans, is in the mythos of ancient
Greece, before the time of Homer. However, Herodotus mentions them as being
part of the legendary Theban epic, as being in some way connected with the
cult of Apollo, the sun-god, and that their homeland was in a paradise-like
country "beyond the North Wind", which indicates a region that may now lie
within the Arctic Circle, or certainly in the North Atlantic! The
Hyperborians according to this same source, were alleged to live for a
thousand years, but they had a tradition that any who tired of such a long
life could end it in a ritual suicide ceremony, whereby the person involved
was decked with floral garlands and allowed to jump off a high pinnacle into
the sea!
Other legends seem to indicate that it was "that happy land lying to the
west, towards the setting sun". The anciently-famed Garden of the
Hesperides, where trees bore golden fruit. The Elysian Fields, or even the
Happy Isles! Generally, it is believed to have been a veritable paradise on
earth, and may perhaps have been an island lying somewhere between the
Azores and Iceland, which, like Atlantis, sank beneath the waves after some
great catastrophe. There are some scholars who directly connect the two, and
claim that Hyperborea was, in fact, the lost continent of Atlantis!
My own view, after scanning some of the mythology surrounding Hyperborea and
Thule, is that it’s possible that they could have been the same place! It
really all depends upon how far back the original legends go. If they are
traceable to the time of the establishment of the Egyptian nation (since
they figure in the Theban epic), then it is possible that they go far back
in time to the period prior to the last polar shift. In which case, much of
the land which now lies within the Arctic Circle was then a warm to
temperate country, richly carpeted with grasslands and forests and all of
Nature’s bounty, both vegetable and animal.
It’s even possible that we need look no farther than the British Isles, sinc
e these would have been well to the "far north-west" of both Egypt and
Greece! (We have to avoid the pitfall of allowing a north European concept
of the "north-west" to cloud our geographic thinking!) However, at that
distant point in time, both Britain and Ireland would have been the most
north-westerly part of the European land-mass, since the English Channel and
the North Sea were both dry land then. There seems to be a distinct hint in
the legends that both Hyperborea and Ultima Thule were always islands, so
perhaps this would tend to rule out Britain and Ireland, since they were
once part of the continent of Europe.
My first conclusion, then, is that both were actually the same place, with
Greenland as Ultima Thule and Iceland as Thule. Ultima Thule and Thule seem
to be separated in mythology into two distinct islands, and, since "Ultima"
Thule implies the furthest away, then Thule must have been closer to Europe
than it. The obvious candidate for Thule then, must be Iceland. According to
Pytheas, a famous Greek navigator of the 4th century BC, Thule was a six-day
voyage north of Britain, though whether by sail or by oar-power isn’t
stated, but it seems to set the location of Thule as modern Iceland. Common
sense suggests that Ultima Thule had to be Greenland. However, what if both
were once united as one largely-submerged land-mass - the continent of
Hyperborea?
The Arctic Homeland: Hyperborea.
To discover more about the mythos surrounding Hyperborea, we must look
briefly at the works of various older authorities on such somewhat esoteric
mysteries. Jean-Sylvain Bailly, 1736-1793), who was an astronomer and a
mystic, comments that: It is a very remarkable thing that enlightenment
appears to have come from the North, against the common prejudice that the
earth was enlightened, as it was populated, from the South..." He then goes
on to point out that, according to all the legends and ancient wisdom, "as
humanity began to reconstitute itself after the Noahic Deluge, the purest
stream of civilization descended from Northern Asia into India, which to
this day carries evidence of having the most ancient astronomical system on
earth". He continues on to point out that, in most of the ancient
mythologies of the world, there appears to be a race-memory of a racial
origin in the far North and a gradual migration southward.
Another great scientific mind of the same era, the Comte de Buffon, located
the first civilizations in northern and central Asia, east of the Caspian
Sea, but he seemed to generally agree with Bailly about a northern origin
for mankind, rather than a Middle Eastern or Southern one. Rev. Dr. W.F.
Warren, who was president of Boston University and belonged to several
learned societies, revived the polar origin theory for mankind in a book
published in 1885: "Paradise Found", of which the thesis was "That the
cradle of the human race...was situated at the North Pole, in a country
submerged at the time of the Deluge."
His theory compared very well with all the relevant sciences and comparative
mythology - especially that of Germany. Warren was a Christian and an avowed
anti-Darwinist, and he utterly rejected the concept of man having evolved
from the ape, through a period of primitive savagery. He believed that the
earliest men were the noblest and the longest-lived, "and it was only after
the Deluge, that humanity began to take on the feeble lineaments of
ourselves." At least, in his work he reveals some amazing insight into what
could have caused the Deluge, through God’s Hand, by pointing out that,
after the survivors of the polar flood settled in their north Asian exile,
"they found the skies tilted in respect to the way they had known them: the
North Star was no longer overhead", and he mentions that "they perfectly
understood why this was so"...."but their rude descendants, unfavoured with
the treasures of antediluvian science, and born only to a savage, nomadic
life.... might easily have forgotten the explanation" - which was that,
"instead of the human horizon, it was the earth that had shifted"! * Here,
at last, we get the first oblique mention of a polar shift! (*Accents are
mine. GF)
Support from India.
Bal Gangadhar Tilak (1856-1920), a renowned pioneer protagonist of Indian
Independence at the turn of the century, was also a scholar in astronomy and
Vedic antiquities, who among other feats, was able to place the oldest
Indian Vedic civilization at around 4500 BC. Tilak was jailed by the British
for his anti-British writings for several years, and this time he put to
good use in studying the Veda scripts, in relation to known astronomical and
geological events. He published his findings in a work: "The Arctic Home of
The Vedas", in 1903. In this he stated that, according to his readings of
the Vedas, the original Arctic home of humanity was destroyed around
10,000 - 8,000 BC by the last Ice Age, and that from 8,000 - 3000 BC, was
the "Age of Wandering", before they Vedic people finally settled in India
between 5,000 - 3000 BC. By then, he went on to add, they had already begun
to forget their Arctic origins, and their traditions had begun to go
downhill.
As we have seen in earlier accounts, his timing of this cataclysm fits in
very closely with what we know of the destruction of Atlantis and Mu, so we
can attribute it to the same cause - a sudden polar shift, resulting in both
tidal waves and tectonic upheavals followed by a very rapid relocation of
the polar ice-caps: the so-called "Ice Age". So, we have the destruction of
Mu, dated very approximately at 12,000 years ago, that of Atlantis around
10,000 years ago, and, according to best estimates, the destruction of
Hyperborea also at around the same time-frame of 10,000 years ago. Could
this then, be also the time of the Biblical "Flood" too? As far as I’m able
to determine by reading sundry authorities, this would seem to be the case.
So it’s up to my readers to resolve for themselves whether this is a pure
coincidental matter, or whether God chose to bring about the cleansing of an
evil and disobedient world by means of a purely natural catastrophic event -
which would seem to be a logical thing to do if One were the Supreme
Intellect, who created the entire Universe along purely logical lines!
Land of The Midnight Sun.
Ancient Indian texts seem to point most clearly to the fact that the Arctic
region was the "realm of the ancient gods" since they specifically mention
that it is where the sun rises and sets only once a year - which
demonstrates that the writers had a clear knowledge of the astronomical and
seasonal situation at the North Pole. Of course, they were quite right,
since the sun only appears above the horizon for six months of the year, and
is below it for the remaining six months! The question here is how did those
ancient Indians know this?
The obvious answer is because it was recorded in the Vedic Hymns, which
speak of "The Dawn of Many Days" and "The Thirty Dawn Sisters Circling Like
A Wheel". When applied to the Pole, these terms make good sense, since the
sun takes exactly a month to actually appear above the horizon after the
four-month night. I say four-month rather than six here, because the sun
also takes a further month each year, to set. So there’s a polar twilight of
one month, followed by a night of four months. then a dawn of one month,
followed by a day of four months! The Vedas are correct in every detail,
even though written thousands of years ago! Obviously, these ancient
forebears of the Indian people, the Aryans, knew this from first-hand
experience!
The oldest Vedic year had only two divisions, which were called devas and
pitras; names which correlated with the "Day of The Gods" and the "Night of
The Gods". This, curiously enough, is very reminiscent of another dramatic
piece of Germanic Aryan mythology - "Gottdammerung" - "The Twilight of The
Gods" - which is a strangely apt connection with the Vedic-Aryan Polar Year!
The Advent of The Big Freeze.
We learn from the Zoroastrian scholar, H. S. Spencer’s "Aryan Ecliptic
Cycle"(1965) that the "Aryan ecliptic cycle" ran from approximately 25,500
BC to 300 BC - from their residence in the polar homeland during the
"Interglacial Age" (or "Inter Pole-Shifts Age", depending on one’s
persuasion), to their being compelled to leave it because of the presence
firstly, of giant reptiles (dinosaurs!), and then the advent of intense cold
and snow! ( It is important to bear in mind that the same effect would be
taking place at the South Pole, also.) The Big Freeze occurred about 10,000
BC - and was just one of several natural cataclysms of that period which
destroyed Atlantis, Lemuria (Mu), and the Gobi Sea (now the Gobi Desert).
From the Pole, the Aryans had to fight their way against the forces of
nature, as well as those of the indigenous Asian tribes, including a term of
enslavement by the Turanians (Turks).
Religious Influences of the Aryans.
However, by 8,500 BC they ruled their own empire in Bactria, where they
continued to worship their god, Mazda, whom they had apparently held as
their chief deity among several, for at least 19,000 years BC. It was
Zoroaster (better known as Zarathustra) who introduced Mazdan monotheism
around 7100 BC. The Persian Aryans stayed true to their faith, but the
Indian branch joined in the local polytheism, only changing to Hinduism when
they believed Zarathustra had been reincarnated as Krishna around 4000 BC.
It is also interesting to note that (according to Spencer), the European
Aryans accepted this very same reincarnated spirit as Jesus Christ! The
religious influence of these Aryans was to have a great impact upon all the
surrounding religions in promoting the supremacy of a male concept of God
over the female, which had hitherto dominated Egypt, Babylon, Sumeria, and
the Semites, who had all previously worshipped predominantly female gods.
Atlantis and Thule.
As has been gleaned from Plato’s "Discourses", Atlantis was thought to have
arisen in the middle of the Atlantic, opposite the Pillars of Hercules - The
Straights of Gibraltar. And so it was always believed for centuries, until
this was challenged in the 18th century by Olaf Rudbeck, who claimed the
lost kingdom as having been his native land of Sweden. This started a new
trend of thought among the scholars, and Bailly, whom we met earlier, became
convinced that Atlantis had been much further north than had hitherto been
supposed, and suggested either Spitzbergen, Greenland or Nova Zemlya as
possible sites. He rationalised that because the rotary movement of the
planet close to the poles was so much less, the atmosphere might well have
been less agitated, thus making it in reality a place of eternal spring.
Through this idea, he identified his Altlanteans as actually being the
legendary Hyperboreans, living in their golden "Garden of the Hesperides"
close to the North Pole!
A Place of Perpetual Spring near The Pole?
Despite the original report by the Greek, Pytheas, around 300 BC, that he
had reached a sea of ice just one day north of Thule - which he evidently
thought was, in fact, Iceland - he was disbelieved, and the myth still
persisted that a warm polar sea existed around the Pole, with a very clement
and temperate land environment surrounding it. Even Columbus believed it,
and he sailed 300 miles north beyond Iceland before reaching ice-bound
waters. Most of his critics discredited this feat, as they firmly believed
the northern Atlantic to be quite impassable. (However, it was Columbus’
feat which caused later explorers to search those northerly Arctic oceans
for the legendary North West Passage into the Pacific!) However, I am
digressing!.
Atlantean Nazis?
It was the Roman historian, Tacitus, who started the Germanic people
believing that they were the descendants of these Atlantean-Hyperborean
Aryans from the North Pole. He had already remarked that he could hardly
believe that people would choose to live in such a rigorous climate as that
of Germany, let alone anywhere further north, but it was he who later agreed
with those who believed the Germans to be a pure race, who had never
intermarried with any other, and that this was shown by their distinct
familial likeness, both physically and in character, even though they were a
numerous race.
They all had stern blue eyes, fair ruddy hair and large physiques. It was
this Nordic Aryan, tall, blond image - projected by Tacitus - that was later
to become the racial ideal of the Hitlerian Nazis - despite Hitler himself
and many of his Nazi colleagues, being short and dark-haired and typically
Southern European in general appearance!
This led to the concept of a Nazi Thule, the three godfathers of which were
Von List, Von Liebenfels, and Von Sebottendorff. All three were pretenders
to grandeur and had added the nobly-suggestive "Von" to their plain family
names. This in itself was a classical symptom of master-race delusion, as
they all firmly believed themselves to be of this chosen aristocratic Aryan
race. I could pursue this Nazi-Aryan association and their Thule Society at
great length, but, whilst it is of great significance in terms of racial
distinction and discrimination - as witnessed by their subsequent
anti-Semitism - it has relatively little to do with the actual racial
origins of mankind as a whole or of the Polar entrance to the Hollow Earth!
The Nazi attempt at world domination is now relegated to the political
history of the world, which is not the province of this work. Readers
wishing to learn more of the Nazi-Thule mythos should read Joscelyn Godwin’s
absorbing book: "Arktos - The Polar Myth".
However, it’s in that same book, that Godwin does unearth many interesting
points regarding the Boreal Race, whether Altlanteans or whatever. He says
that two major and distinct streams issued forth from these people during
their migrations, one from north to south, and the other at a later time
from west to east. The Hyperboreans took with them the same spirit,
bloodline and system of communication, symbolic, written or spoken, first to
North America, and then to the Northern Eurasia. Tens of thousands of years
later, a second wave of Hyperborean migrants appear "to have thrust as far
south as Central America, and to have settled principally in a vanished land
situated in the Atlantic region, founding there a centre in the image of the
polar one*". (*The emphasis is mine). "In this regard," he continues,
quoting Evola, "one should properly speak of a "Nordic-Atlantic" race and
civilization".
Decline and Fall.
"In Evola’s view", says Godwin, "the latter, Atlantean stream, became
polluted with telluric (earthy) and demonic elements from the even more
ancient Lemurians, (the Muvians) whose distant descendants survive in the
dark races. From this blending came the cults of the Mother and of the
Earth, which would forever remain in opposition to the original cult of the
Sun, preserving the purer Nordic stream." We have already seen how the
Atlanteans were far more concerned with aggression and sorcery than those
nations they tried to dominate, so they do not really deserve to be compared
with the still-pure Nordic Aryans. However, as history shows, even the most
pure and racially-clean nations eventually succumb to their own glory and go
into moral decline. As, much later on, would the Egyptians, the Greeks and
the Romans do also.
