The notion that the Earth is hollow or contains a vast subterranean space is not something you hear about much in the modern era. Everything we think we know about the way things work seems to speak against the notion of the Hollow Earth Hypothesis. Still, this idea has inspired much fiction and my understanding is that to this day people still plan expeditions to the Hollow Earth.
Folklore and mythology from all over the world speaks of realms below the earth containing creatures and beings that seem rather strange to us modern secular surface-dwellers. It is not known by many that there are vast cave and tunnel systems running underneath large areas of the planet. Some of these are man-made tunnels and others are natural caves. These systems are huge and, to my knowledge, mostly unexplored.
It is thought by some that the poles of the Earth are actually lipped holes that lead to the hollow interior of our planet. Strange phenomena reported by early polar explorers are cited in support of this idea as well as some modern physical anomalies. Some feel that the interior of the Earth is a more likely place for UFOs to come from than outer space. The Hollow Earth also provides an explanation for why some cryptids are only occasionally sighted and cannot be found. If Big Foot is returning to an underground habitat then it makes perfect sense that no amount of surface exploration would lead to its discovery. There is also an apparent link between faults in the Earth's crust and mysterious creatures and strange lights.
I am no stranger to the rumors of extraterrestrial underground bases and it seems that this could tie into the idea of the Hollow Earth as well. The idea that a reptilian race of advanced creatures lives beneath the surface of the planet is a staple of UFO/alien folklore and some have even claimed to have made contact with these creatures, usually seen as malevolent entities. Whether these reptilians are extraterrestrials taking up residence or an older race native to Earth is not something that anyone seems to be able to say for sure. I find the entire idea of the Hollow Earth to be fascinating and I'm apparently not alone.
As to whether the Earth is actually hollow or not... That's not something I can say. The scientific establishment says that it's not possible; we know the structure of the Earth and how it was formed. Yet still the idea of a Hollow Earth continues to survive to the present. I can see why given the revelation that real-time weather satellite data above the 60th parallel is not available to the public, or so I'm told. If you would like to read more about the Hollow Earth then please see the links below. If you have any further information regarding the Hollow Earth then please leave a comment.
Wikipedia on the Hollow Earth.
Lots of articles on the Hollow Earth from paranormal.about.com.
Real-time weather satellite data above the 60th parallel is not available to the public, huh? Is there a stated reason why? Where did you discover this information?
ReplyDeleteThe information about the real-time data not being available to the public comes from Brooks Agnew in his 10/25/10 Coast to Coast AM appearance.

If that's true, I can tell you that the reason is pretty basic: NO ONE GOES THERE. That's the Arctic Circle, and given how tough it is to stick a satellite at polar orbit, they're not going to waste any they /do/ manage to stick up there. The public has no interest in that, it's not commercially viable to stick a public satellite up there... The weather is watched because of the few travelers who might get stuck in it, but said weather is also very dangerous and unpredictable to begin with, just like it is in Antarctica. Keeping a watch on it is crucial, but still only helps those people so much and no more. Most likely, any satellites up there are military, and the weather of an ice-filled small ocean is the least of anyone's long-term military concerns.
ReplyDeleteI would ask brooks agnew where he found this carp. Seriously, go to google earth, and you'll get weather for wherever you need. You'll be able to see the storms roll in.
ReplyDeleteOr try wunderground.com for anchorage, Alaska. They'll give you satellite images if you know where to look.
It sounds like someone is full of shite.
And really? While these stories are interesting, what does a Chaos Magician get out of it?
A Chaos Magician gets whatever they get from it. This blog doesn't cater specifically to Chaos Magicians.
