			Is the Earth Hollow?
 This intriguing question has attracted the attention of free 
			thinkers, scientists and a wide assortment of crackpots back through 
			the ages.
 
 The most ancient of stories of modern mankind can be found written 
			on the clay tablets of Mesopotamia. Two, "Gilgamesh" (Table XII) and 
			"The Descent of Ishtar to the Underworld", are about adventures 
			among different kinds of creatures inside the earth. 
			1
 
 Plato wrote of enormous subterranean tunnels both broad and narrow 
			that made up the earth’s interior.
 
			  
			Dr. Edmond Halley, of comet fame, 
			believed that all heavenly bodies were hollow and in a speech before 
			the members of the Royal Society of London stated,  
				
				"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 higher mathematics. He stated that, "mathematically 
			the Earth has to be hollow". He also believed there "was a center 
			sun inside the Earth’s interior, which provided daylight to a 
			splendid subterranean civilization." 
				2 
			Next came Captain John Cleves Symmes, 
			war hero of the War of 1812.  
			  
			Once his studies led him to believe in 
			a Hollow Earth, he used 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 
			under Van Buren 1837-18411] to petition congress to finance an 
			expedition to claim the lands inside the earth for the U.S. The 
			petition, by a vote of 56-46 was tabled. 
			3
 The Hollow Earth was next theorized by William Reed in his 1906 book 
			"The Phantom of The Poles". Based on his studies of early Arctic 
			explorations and scientific evidence, he states that the Earth is 
			not solid as widely believed, but hollow with openings at both ends.
 
			  
			In the summary of his revolutionary theory, Reed states: 
				
				"The Earth is hollow. The Poles, so 
				long sought, are phantoms. There are openings at the northern 
				and southern extremities. In the interior are vast continents, 
				oceans, mountains and rivers. Vegetable and animal life are 
				evident in this New World and it is probably peopled by races 
				unknown to dwellers on the Earth’s surface". 
				4 
			Marshall B. Gardner reached the same conclusions after 20 years of 
			researched and published his finding in "A Journey to the 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 Cook nor Peary reached 
			the True North Pole since, according to the theory, it does not 
			exist. Mr. Gardner states: 
				
				"Scientific societies that considered Cook’s and Peary’s 
				claims concluded that in neither case could it be said 
				authoritatively that the explorer had reached the pole". 
				5 
			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 Rice Borrough’s 
			"Tarzan at the Earth’s Core" and scores of other authors 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 the interior 
			of our planet. Olaf Janson’s "The Smoky God", is one such story that 
			comes to mind.
 
			Another is "EDIDORPHA or The End Of The Earth" by 
			John Uri Lloyd 
			published in 1895.
 
 Ray Palmer was one of the first researchers and reporters on the UFO 
			scene during the 50s and 60s. In his ground breaking publications 
			"Flying Saucers" and Search Magazine he speculated that, because 
			UFOs have been seen in earth’s sky throughout history , they may 
			very well be from our earth, in fact, evidence seemed to indicate 
			that UFOs could very well come 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 in July of 1970, the 
			late Mr. Palmer published a photo that is still a controversy.
 
			  
			Excerpts from his Editorial in the above mentioned "Flying Saucers" 
			magazine tell it best: 
				
				"On the cover this month we reproduce the most remarkable photo ever 
			made. It was taken by the ESSA-7 satellite on November 23, 1968 the 
				North Pole photo lacking clouds in the polar 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 Asian continent, we can see the 
				ice-fields 8-foot thick ice we do not see any ice fields in a 
				large circular area directly at the geographic pole. 
				 
				  
				Instead we 
				see THE HOLE!" 6
				 
					  
					The ESSA-3 PhotographThe first photograph 
					referred to by McElwaine was taken by ESSA-3 on January 6, 
					1967:
 
					
 
					
					 
					
 
					The caption includes the words 
					"clearly showing the hole at the North Pole." If this is 
					indeed the case, then it is nothing short of remarkable, as 
					the North Pole is in complete darkness at this time of year!
 There are other extremely suspicious things about this 
					photograph. Not just the "hole", but the entire visible 
					hemisphere of the Earth is in sunlight - clearly impossible 
					unless the pole is oriented directly toward the sun. This is 
					not, of course, the case. At no time during January 1967 was 
					the entire Northern Hemisphere simultaneously bathed in 
					sunlight.
 
 Oh, and another thing. If the interior of the Earth is 
					illuminated by "a glowing ball of plasma, about 600 miles in 
					diameter", why don't we see a bright disk instead of a dark 
					hole?
 
 Answer: it's a composite photo. ESSA-3 was a polar-orbiting 
					satellite, and this image is a clearly a montage produced by 
					NASA from a number of separate half-lit images to give a 
					measure of global cloud cover.
 
 
					The ESSA-7 Photograph
 Here is McElwaine's 
					second photograph, taken by ESSA-7 on November 23, 1968:
 
					    
					
					 
					  
					
					 
					
					The 
					photograph taken by the satellite Essa-7, with the "hole" 
					that has so alarmed the American public.It is the "hole" that would lead to the center of the earth, 
					to cities and fabulous "bases" of UFOs!
 In fact this "hole" comes from the limit of the photographic 
					coverage of the satellite,
 
					
					which, since 
					its orbit does not see to the pole ...     
					Again, the same observations 
					about lighting apply to this photograph. January 6 is as 
					close to midwinter as makes no odds, and everything within 
					the Arctic Circle should be completely hidden from view.
 It's a composite image again. Long, straight lines radiate 
					from the edge of the "hole" at around 7 o'clock and 9 
					o'clock, reaching the the Equator, and in the case of the 7 
					o'clock line, considerably further, indicating that this is 
					stuck together from several smaller images. The bright rim 
					is almost certainly and edge-of-frame artifact from the 
					camera rather than any physical effect.
 
 If there were indeed holes at the poles, why do we not see 
					them in pictures taken from the ESSA satellites in July, for 
					example?
 
			  
			In 1981 I came into possession of another group of NASA photos 
			showing earth from deep in space which, not only substantiates the 
			ESSA-7 photos, but adds weight to another feature of the hollow 
			earth theory. 
 At this point any practical person will start to ask themselves, if 
			this is all true why isn’t it common and accepted knowledge. As Ray 
			Palmer said in one of his articles:
 
				
				" A government that will not tell you what they know about UFOs 
			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 giant doughnut 
			and that holes at the poles provide an entrance into the inner 
			lands. "Not so!" shouts another group. "Entrance to the interior 
			world can be gained only by entering a cave and discovering the 
			subterranean tunnels.""  
			Most of the people who claim to have 
			visited the inner lands arrive there through old mine shafts, caves 
			and subterranean tunnels.  
			  
			Others claim to have traveled through 
			extent volcanoes. There is good solid evidence supporting all these 
			theories. Evidence also supports the possibility of other hidden 
			entrances to the inner realms in The Bermuda Triangle and other 
			strange areas around the world. 7
 One of these areas of interest in the Pacific Northwestern area of 
			the United States. It was in this area that the name "Flying 
			Saucers" was first heard.
 
				
				"On June 24, 1947, Kenneth Arnold, a 
				businessman and commercial pilot from Boise, Idaho, was flying 
				past Mount Rainier, 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 
				newsmen and news of the mysterious objects dubbed "flying 
				saucers" was spread nationwide". 8
				 
			UFOs are quite common in the area. In fact the thousands of miles of 
			untrodden land that makes up the extreme Northwestern part of 
			America hides many unexplained mysteries.  
			  
			This is the land of 
			"Bigfoot" or "Sasquatch" as the local Native 
			Americans call him.  
			  
			In connection with our research into 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 held a 
			sealed envelope in her hands. Unknown to her, that envelope 
			contained a photograph of a Sasquatch footprint {Ms Partise said] 
			"These things are coming from outer space - it’s an outer space war! 
			The first area will be Portland, Oregon. There’s a mountain with a 
			hole in it. 
				 
				  
				Someone should investigate this mountain because they’re 
			down in there already. You know those hairy things that run around, 
			the ape man? He’s not an ape. They’re underground, in contact with 
			outer space and their intentions toward mankind is total 
			destruction!.. this gorilla man - there’s a civilization of 
			thousands of them their eyes are extremely light sensitive from 
			being underground. 
				 
				  
				These tunnels I’m seeing is part of their 
			habitation. They’ve dug them. I think it may even go into 
				California" 9
				 
			Just south of the Oregon - California border the snow-capped peak of 
			mysterious Mt. Shasta keeps her secrets.  
			 
			  
			Locally there are whispers 
			of certain merchants quietly doing business, for gold, with strange 
			young looking men with piercing blue eyes wearing unusual clothing 
			and footwear, who mysteriously, upon completing their business fade 
			away into the wilderness. Are these mysterious consumers from the 
			legendary underground city of "Telos" said to exist under Mt. 
			Shasta?  
			 
			  
			Could they actually be descendants of the lost continent of 
			"Lemuria". Could the strange men seen in the small communities of 
			the area be on a "munchies run" for their underground friends? 
			 
			  
			Anything is possible in the realm of the underground.

			What Waits 
			Below?
 
			Anytime I tell someone about the Hollow Earth Theory the inevitable 
			question is ‘how can I get there?
 
			  
			Hopefully this issue of THEI will 
			help to answer this question. 
 Of course, the first thought when seeking to enter the interior of 
			our planet is to plan a trip through one of the two pole-holes which 
			are alleged to be located at the north and south poles. I disagree 
			with this idea. First, for those who would try to go over the lip 
			into the interior by land the hardships would be unbearable. I lived 
			in Alaska for six years and I found, operating in the cold without 
			proper clothing etc. to be impossible. The amount of equipment and 
			cold weather gear needed to make such a trip would be staggering.
 
 For this reason, most people who would try to gain entrance to the 
			inner lands feel that an airplane would be the answer. Those who 
			feel this is the best avenue of exploration should get in touch with 
			"The Society for a Complete Earth.". This group is currently 
			planning 
			a trip to re-create 
			
			Admiral Byrd’s alleged 1947 flight to the lands 
			beyond the pole. For more information you can contact the director 
			of the society, Danny Weiss, P.O. Box 890, Felton, CA 95018, 
			1(408)335-9329.
 
 However, I believe that these much-talked-about pole-holes, if they 
			exist, have been hidden from view through the use of advanced 
			technology which would prevent us from detecting their hole. It 
			could be through the use of holograms, mind blocks, a space-time 
			curve, or methods not even imagined by our limited knowledge.
 
			  
			Of 
			course, I could be wrong. At any rate, the north and south pole are 
			probably the best protected areas of the world. Another "plane down" 
			is a realistic scenario for any "unauthorized " travel in these 
			controlled areas. 
 The best route to the interior of our earth is to be invited. Of 
			course there’s being invited and there’s BEING INVITED! There are 
			many documented cases of people being taken into areas of the 
			interior of our planet, unfortunately, most are taken against their 
			will. One such person was Kaye Kizziar who was abducted from her 
			home and taken to "magnificent caverns beneath Fish Creek" in 
			Arizona’s Superstition Mountains. (See accompanying newspaper 
			clipping in Volume III #5).
 
 Another person who was kidnapped and taken by a "UFO" into the inner 
			world was Katharina Wilson. Her experiences are accepted as one of 
			the best documented abduction cases and can be read about in her 
			excellent book The Alien Jigsaw (1993).
 
 In his "must read" book Alien Update (1995), British UFO Researcher 
			Extraordinaire Timothy Good reports on UFO phenomena from around the 
			world. On page 27, "They Took Me To Their Base" he tells of an 
			interview with Carlos Manuel Mencado in Puerto Rico.
 
			  
			Mr. Mencado was 
			abducted by the Aliens commonly called the little grays who escorted 
			him aboard a "flying saucer".  
			 Then:
 
				
				"The craft shot up, and I believed we would go far away, but 
			instead, it seemed to veer to the left and descended toward the 
			Sierra Benmeja. I was afraid we would crash, but a hole appeared in 
			a depression to the side of El Cayul mountain and the craft went all 
			the way down it through a tunnel and came out in a big place that 
			seemed to be like a long, large cavern".  
			Those of us who are patient can wait till we’re invited (hopefully 
			not abducted). However, I know there are those people out there who 
			can’t wait.  
			 They are action people! For them, probably the best way to get to 
			the inner earth is through one of the thousands of natural cavern 
			entrances. With a lot of research and cave searching, plus a little 
			luck, you just might find a "backdoor" into the subterranean lands.
 
 Probably the best written account of a trip through the subterranean 
			lands into the inner kingdom was reported in the 1895 book "Etidorpha".
 
 Secret Societies, conspiracy, a strange alien guide, suppressed 
			earth sciences - it’s hard to believe that this book is a hundred 
			years old! Yet, is it fact or fiction?
 
 A few years ago long time inner earth researcher Bruce Walton made 
			some startling discoveries. With his kind permission I am happy to 
			re-print his complete and important research report, "Is William 
			Morgan The Man" in this issue of THEI.
 
 After making the decision to seek out an entrance to the inner 
			realms through one of the many cavern entrances it might be a good 
			idea to go to one of the commercial caves around the country to get 
			an idea what it will be like underground. These "open to the public" 
			caves can be found in almost any state including, believe it or not, 
			Florida. With a little research, and a weekend get-a-way, I’m sure 
			you can locate one near you. The newspaper clipping, "Caves Not Far 
			From Interstates", included with this issue should help you start 
			your search.
 
 While many of these well known caves contain connecting passages to 
			the inner lands, unless you "know someone", it’s doubtful that you 
			could use them.
 
			 However, by studying and understanding the known caves, you just 
			might find the clue you need to find your own entrance. One man who 
			may well have found a entrance to the lands inside the earth was 
			Jack Mitchell, discoverer of Mitchell’s Caverns, now a California 
			State Park.
 
			 Mitchell’s Caverns is located 18 miles north of the small town of 
			Essex which is 28 miles west of Needles California and 111 miles 
			East of Barstow California on Route 66. The report, "The Cave Of The 
			Winding Stairs", was filed by Hollow Earth researcher Ollie Mork.
 
 One of the best know areas where entrances to one of the inner 
			realms is unarguably located somewhere in the vicinity of Mt. Shasta 
			in northern California. Long know as the location of the 
			subterranean city of Telos, Mt. Shasta is the best bet for serious 
			searchers. Recently Michael Theroux director of Borderland Sciences 
			and writer Michael P. Elsey conducted an expedition to the famous 
			mountain in search of some answers.
 
			  
			 Their findings were published in 
			Volume L1, Number 4 of BORDERLANDS which was issued during the 
			fourth quarter of 1995.  
			  
			 With Mr. Theroux’s permission I am proud to 
			reprint their report on the 1995 Mt. Shasta Expedition in Volume 3 
			#5 of The Hollow Earth Insider. 
 
			  
			
			The Down Side
 
			Of course if you do decide to venture along a long, lonely, dark 
			path leading to uncharted subterranean kingdoms it will not be a 
			stroll in the park.  
			 There are many dangers underground. If one of your party should fall 
			and, say, break a leg, - there are no doctors handy. Many times just 
			moving forward will seem to be impossible. I highly recommend to 
			anyone planning such an adventure to make it a point to read 
			Subterranean Climbers (1951) by Pierre Chevalier. (Subterranean 
			Climbers is available from: Cave Books, 756 Harvard Av., St. Louis 
			MO 63130). Written from the famous mountain climber and 
			speleologist.
 
			  
			Pierre Chevalier’s on site journal. It tells of his 
			groups twelve years spent exploring the Trou du Glaz cave system in 
			France. Not only does this book walk you through many of the 
			problems these brave men met, but it also tells you what equipment 
			you’ll need for all kinds of situations. These gentlemen invented 
			many of the caving solutions and special equipment used by 
			professional cavers worldwide. 
 There is one major problem that you will have right from the start...
 
			
			Unknown by most people as of November 18, 1988 both the Senate and 
			House of Representatives passed Public Law 100-691 commonly referred 
			to as the "Federal Cave Resources Protection Act of 1988".
 
			  
			
			According 
			to a copy of this law supplied by Hollow Earth researcher Tal LeVesque , the government has decided that caves located on "Federal 
			Lands" are a natural resource and must be protected from you and I, 
			America’s citizens. 
 The laws defines a cave as,
 
				
				"any naturally occurring void, cavity, 
			recess, or system of interconnecting passages which occurs beneath 
			the surface of the earth or within a cliff or ledge (including any vug, mine, tunnel, aqueduct, or other manmade excavation) and which 
			is large enough to permit an individual to enter, whether or not the 
			entrance is naturally formed or manmade. Such term shall include any 
			natural pit, sinkhole, or other feature which is an extension of the 
			entrance".  
			
			This translates into - any hole in the ground, natural or 
			manmade. 
 Another interesting provision, under Section 5, "Confidentiality Of 
			Information Concerning Nature and Location of Significant Caves" 
			states:
 
				
				"Information concerning the specific location of any significant 
			cave may not be made available to the public under section 552 of 
			title, United States Code"  
			The law states further:  
				
				"Any person who, without prior authorization 
			from the Secretary knowingly destroys, disturbs, defaces, mars, 
			alters, removes or harms any significant cave or alters the free 
			movement of any animal or plant life into or out of cave(s) located 
			on Federal Land shall be punished".  
			The use of the word "disturbs" disturbs me. Is leaving foot prints a 
			disturbance? What about yanking one of those slimy reptilians out of 
			their lair? Does that constitute "altering the free movement of any 
			animal" or do reptiles count? 
 Which brings us to the most important danger of all. Be aware that 
			all creatures which inhabit the inner lands are not neighborly 
			towards humans. 
			Enter the subterranean realms at your own risk. And please do it 
			cautiously.
 
			  
			 I also strongly suggest that before making any serious 
			attempts at locating and entering a passageway into the subterranean 
			depths you read the conclusion of John Rhodes report "The 
			Human-Reptilian Connection".

 The Hollow 
			Earth Insider Statement of Purpose
 
 The Hollow Earth Insider Research Report was not started for the 
			purpose of presenting the evidence thereby proving the theory.
 
			  
			The 
			major problem with trying to understand the Hollow Earth Theory is 
			the material available up until now has been rehashed and watered 
			down. It seems that every twenty years or so a new "Hollow Earth 
			Researcher", using the works of Ray Palmer and Raymond Bernard of 
			the 50s and 60s, tries to "prove" that the earth is hollow. This is 
			the 90s! 
			 
			  
			If this is a real possibility then a close look at our 
			knowledge of today should at least bring forth new evidence; either 
			in support of the theory or in positive proof that the whole idea is 
			ridiculous. 
 To start with, if you are really interested in examining the theory 
			you should start with the following books.
 
 "A Journey to the Earth’s Interior" (1920) by 
			Marshall B. Gardner 
			and "The Phantom of the Poles" (1906) by 
			William Reed. Both of these 
			books have been in print since first published and can be found in 
			inexpensive paperback issues. Most large bookstores can locate a 
			copy for you.
 
 Gardner’s book concentrates on the scientific evidence more than the 
			arctic explorers observations, and I recommend that you read it 
			first. However, Reed’s book is just as important as it covers the 
			all important arctic/Antarctic aspects of the theory beautifully. I 
			cannot stress the importance of reading these books if you really 
			want to understand the full significance of the Hollow Earth Theory.
 
 The Hollow Earth Insider Research Report’s purpose is to take the 
			study of the theory into the twenty-first century and to keep the 
			questions alive until they are answered one way or the other.
 
			  
			As an 
			inter-action Research Report THEI has grown into a worldwide network 
			of serious researchers and subscribers. We exchange information on 
			all phases of our investigation searching for clues possibly 
			connecting all "earthly" mysteries to the theory; examine who is 
			behind the conspiracy; and explore the reasons these true facts are 
			being hidden from the peoples of the world. 
			 
			  
			Join us as we leave no 
			rock unturned exploring all possibilities!

			Hollow Moon?
 ...or From Where The Bells Toll
 
 Another piece of evidence pointing towards the theory that all 
			heavenly bodies are hollow is that, as you would expect with a 
			hollow sphere, both the Earth and our moon are known to "ring like a 
			bell" when hit with a shock wave.
 
 In "Moongate: Suppressed findings of The US Space Program" (1982), 
			Nuclear Engineer and researcher/writer William L. Brian II presents 
			evidence proving that the moon, as any hollow sphere would, "rings" 
			when hit by asteroids or heavy space junk. And that’s not all. 
			According to Dr. Brian,
 
				
				"the evidence provided by Apollo seismic 
			experiments also points to the conclusion that the moon is hollow 
			and relatively rigid." (1) 
			He also reports: 
			 
				
				"It is not commonly known that the Earth displays the same bell-like 
			ringing or reverberations as the moon. Since the Earth is 81.56 
			times more massive than the moon, it takes a much larger explosion 
			or shock wave to generate this effect." 
			Joseph Goodavage referenced such occurrences in his book, 
			"Astrology: The Space Age Science". He mentioned that the ringing 
			effect was recorded during the May 22, 1960 Chilean earthquake. 
			 
			  
			This 
			was supposedly the most violent earthquake that had been recorded 
			since the establishment of official world records in 1881. Goodavage 
			provided a description of the effect which was given at the 1961 
			World Earthquake Conference, held at Helsinki, Finland.
			 
			 The description stated that the shock was so severe that the "entire 
			planet rang like a bell". The ringing continued for a considerable 
			length of time in a regular series of slow impulses which were 
			recorded at various independent seismic stations. Goodavage also 
			noted that the planet rang again as a result of the Anchorage, 
			Alaska earthquake of March 27, 1964.
 
			  
			 It seems hard to believe that 
			scientists were so appalled in finding that the moon rang like a 
			bell. After all, the Earth displays the same characteristic". 
			(2)
 Proof that the "ringing" of the moon is common knowledge in the 
			scientific and NASA communities is presented in communications 
			between Mission Control and the men aboard the Apollo 17 moon 
			mission on December 29, 1972.
 
				
				"LUNAR MODULE PILOT (LMP): Was there any indication on the 
			seismometers on the impact about the time I saw a light flash on the 
			surface?  
				CAPCOM: Stand by. We’ll check on that.
				LMP: A UFO perhaps, don’t worry about it. It could have been one of 
			the other flashes of light
 CAPCOM: Jack, just some words from the back room for you. There may 
			have been an impact at the time you called, but . So it would mask 
			any other impact." (3)
 
			Research/Writer Don Wilson presents other well-documented evidence 
			supporting the Hollow Moon Theory. 
			 
				
				"The moon has only 60% of the density of Earth. The improbable fact 
			that an equal amount of earth material seemed to weigh almost twice 
			as much as moon matter mystified everyone. Why the difference? The 
			actual answer, some scientists felt, pointed to the possibility that 
			part or all of the moon’s interior was hollow!" 
				(4)  
			Then there’s a report in the July 1962 issue of Astronautics by Dr. 
			Gordon McDonald, a leading scientist at the Nation Aeronautics and 
			Space Administration in which he states that, 
				
				"according to an 
			analysis of the moon’s motion, it appears that the moon is hollow: 
			if the astronomical data are reduced, it is found that the data 
			require that the interior of the moon is less dense than the outer 
			parts. Indeed, it would seem that the moon is more like a hollow 
			than a homogeneous sphere.’" (5)
				 
			In 1959 eminent scientist Professor Iosif Shklovsky put forth his 
			findings in relation to 
			
			the "moons" circling Mars.
			 
				
				"After carefully weighing up the 
				evidence he concludes that they are both hollow" 
				(6) 
			While some "orthodox" scientists will quietly admit that some 
			earthly bodies are probably hollow, they steadfastly refuse to 
			accept the fact that ALL planets and moons are NATURALLY hollow and 
			hurry to add they must be "artificial" satellites. 
 For instance:
 
				
				"The moon seems to be a comparatively light world in contrast with 
			the planet Earth. The fact that the moon is only about 60% as dense 
			as our planet has led scientists to two theories: that the moon is 
			without an iron core, and/or, that it is partially hollow. 
				 
				"Data and computations – among them, Dr. McDonald’s motion studies, 
			– point to the conclusion that our moon is internally hollow to a 
			great extent. Since most scientists claim there is no natural 
				explanation for such peculiar phenomenon (because satellite 
				worlds are not naturally hollow), the inevitable conclusion 
				indicates that the moon is artificially hollow." 
				(7)
 
			Once again, the "establishment" scientists are trying to "fit" the 
			facts to their "sacred cow" theory. In no way will they "buck" the 
			system and admit the obvious.  
			  
			The facts, once again, support the 
			theory laid out by Gardner and Reed all heavenly bodies are hollow.

			A Look at 
			The Polar "Mystery"
 
 If our world is solid as we are told common since tells us that the 
			"magnetic" Poles would be where they belong – at the same spot as 
			the "geographical" poles.
 
			  
			However, as we know that is not the case.
			 
				
				"The Magnetic Poles are not fixed spots, but are constantly 
			traveling onwards, executing an unknown path and apparently 
			completing a circle in a period of many hundreds of years. In 
			addition to this onward movement of a few miles a year, there is a 
			lesser daily oscillation". (1)
				 
			What do Gardner and Reed, the presenters of The Hollow Earth Theory 
			have to say on this subject? 
				
				"In gravitational pull it is not the geometrical position that 
			counts. Center, in the geometrical sense of the word, does not 
				apply. It is the mass that attracts. And if the great mass of 
				the earth is in its thick shell, it is the mass of that shell 
				that will attract, and not a mere geometrical point which is not 
				in the shell but 2900 miles away from it, as that is the 
				approximate distance between the center sun and the inner 
				surface of the earth.    
				As a matter of fact it is the equal 
				distribution of the force of gravity all through the shell. When 
				we are on the outside of the shell it is the mass of the shell 
				that attracts us to the surface. When we go over to the inside 
				of the shell the same force will still keep our feet solidly 
				planted on the inner side". (2) 
			So, according to Gardner, it’s not some action deep within our Earth 
			which causes gravity and the Earth’s magnetism but the rotation of 
			the mass which makes up the crust.  
			  
			To understand where a "magnetic" 
			pole would be if the world were made-up as envisioned by the two 
			fathers of the Hollow Earth Theory we turn to William Reed: 
				
				" if the center of the walls of the earth is the center of gravity, 
			then the greatest attraction would be at the poles.[the place where 
			the magnetic pull would be the strongest] "must have been about 
			halfway around the curve, entering the introit of the earth and, if 
			so, was in perfect accordance with the laws of the universe that the 
			center of gravity is strongest at this point". 
				(3) 
			Gardner agrees with Reed. The magnetic poles would actually form a 
			circle around the pole-hole. Not a "moving" pole as in the accepted 
			theory, but a permanent "ring" around the alleged entrance into the 
			inner lands. 
 
			  
			  
			One Pole-Two Poles-Three Poles-More?On July 19, 1947 a group of scientists left Ottawa Canada aboard a 
			plane with the mission of finding the exact position of the North 
			Magnetic Pole.
 
			 Included in the tons of equipment they loaded aboard was "a new 
			instrument that is expected to be helpful in taking magnetic 
			soundings and establishing the northern magnetic field" 
			(4)
 
 On August 17, 1947 The New York Times reported:
 
				
				  
				Polar Shift ConfirmedCanadian Scientists Report a Movement 200 Miles North
 Ottawa, Aug. 16, 1947
 
				  
				The North Magnetic Pole seems to have moved 
			200 miles north since the year 1909 according to the first findings 
			of four scientists of the Canadian Department of Mines and 
			Resources, who left here by air July 19 in quest of the poles 
			present position." (5) 
			This seems to fit the accepted theory OK. No surprises here.  
			 
			  
			But 
			then the United States Air Force tried to slide one by us. on 
			Monday, October 20, 1947 the following front page story was carried 
			by The New York Times: 
			 
				
				All Arctic Is Open To The Air Force; 2 New
			Poles Found 
				Tests show 3 Magnetic Poles Instead of 1, With Center on Prince 
			Wales Island by Anthony Leviero
 
 Washington, Oct. 19, 1947 – ". The Air Force disclosed that it had 
			discovered two new magnetic poles, in addition to correcting the 
			position of the one recognized by science the three poles constitute 
			an elliptical magnetic field" (6)
 
			Upon finding this article in the Jacksonville Florida Public Library 
			microfilm files I had to rush to a dictionary.  
			  
			Just as I suspected, 
			Webster’s Seventh defined elliptical as being a "deviation of an 
			ellipse or a spheroid from the form of a circle or a sphere. Ellipse 
			is defined as "an oval". Of course, this is never talked about.  
			  
			As 
			could be expected the article goes on to state, 
				
				"the exact location in 
			latitude and longitude of these important discoveries in terrestrial 
			magnetism were withheld for security reasons, a spokesman said" 
				 
			Under the rug! 
 However a little bit more of what was found out did slip through the 
			net. In a scientific editorial in The New York Times published on 
			October 21, 1947 we learn:
 
				
				Magnetic Trinity
 " This military study of the polar regions has unexpectedly supplied 
			us with new information on terrestrial magnetism. Observers of the 
			Royal Air Force found that the North Magnetic Poles lies 300 miles 
			north-northwest of its charted position.
 
				  
				These findings have not 
			only been confirmed by American Army pilots but have been 
			supplemented with the information there are three magnetic poles in 
			the area 450 miles long by nearly 200 miles wide." 
				(7) 
			  
			  
			The Poles ExplainedIs it just a coincidence that these documented findings fits exactly 
			the description of what the founders of the Hollow Earth Theory said 
			would be found? As with most of the earthly mysteries, the 
			"mysteries" of the poles are easily understood when looked at using 
			the concept of a hollow globe.
 
			 The poles do not from spot to spot and there are not three separate 
			poles. This is a classic example of the results of the establishment 
			scientists trying to "fit" the know facts to their "sacred cow" of a 
			theory.
 
			  
			 The actual explanation is simple. As different explorers 
			start over the edge of the lip into the interior lands they think 
			they have "discover" that the pole has moved or that they have 
			"found" a new magnetic pole. It’s also possible that they 
			are taking readings from different areas of the circle which 
			surrounds the pole-hole exactly where Reed and Gardner said the 
			magnetic field is located. 
			  
			 In the words of the author of the Oct.21, 
			1947 New York Times scientific editorial quoted above:
			 
				
				"We begin to understand why 
				explorers have reported that the Magnetic North Pole is elusive 
				and that it shifts its position. But is it shifting? If the 
				three magnetic poles remain fixed, if other poles are found, 
				which is not improbable, we shall have to think of an 
				ellipse-shaped magnetic region. (8) 
			Another scientific fact which supports the Hollow Earth Theory, yet 
			totally ignored by the "experts".

 Erich von Daniken in his 1973 photo-journal In Search of Ancient 
			Gods included two color photos of the inside of two subterranean 
			corridor on pages 79-80 along with this observation:
 
				
				"Did 
			extra-terrestrial beings give our early ancestors sophisticated 
			tools? When you walk through the caves in Ecuador and other South 
			American countries, you can’t help asking the question.  
				  
				The caves 
			were certainly not the work of nature, which does not produce 
			right-angled curves, polished surface areas, extremely accurate 
			grooves and straight corridors. These gigantic caves on this and the 
			following page must have been cut out of the solid rock by tools 
			that are quite unknown to us." 
			 Across the Yucatan Peninsula, throughout Belize and Guatemala; as 
			far south as Northern Honduras, and as far north as the Chiapas of 
			Mexico. 
			  
			 This was the land sf the Olmec and Maya. Here, just as in 
			South America, we find mysterious abandoned stone cities and stories 
			of strange underground chambers and tunnels.
 Fifty miles north of Mexico City in the province of Hidalgo is the 
			town of Tula. Writing in Lost Cities of North and Central America 
			(1992) David Hatcher Childress tells of the French 
			explorer-historian Claude Joseph Desire Charney who, with the help 
			of the locals, cleared the jungle away from some overgrown mounds 
			near the town.
 
 Mr Childress wrote:
 
				
				"Charney soon came across huge basalt blocks 
			more than seven feet long that appeared to him to be giant feet of 
			statues. Indeed, they were, the incredible Atlanteans, as they are 
			known today, huge figures designed as columns to hold up a gigantic 
			temple. ( page 254) 
			 He then tells of his own observations:  
				
				"Peter and I walked around 
			the site, and were most impressed by the gigantic Atlantean figures 
			that had been erected on top of one of the pyramids. They were 
			indeed huge, more than 30 feet high in four sections with stone 
			plugs neatly fitting into corresponding contacts. Each holds a 
			strange weapon on his side. 
				 
				  
				
				
				Zecharia Sitchin in  
						
						The Lost Realms claims that these devices are plasma guns, used for melting rock in 
			the mining operations that were the main reason for the construction 
			of many of the early cities in North and South America." 
				 
			 A closer look at The Lost Realms is called for.  
			  
			 On page 105 Mr 
			Sitchin tells us:  
				
				"Experts in earthworks, masters of stonework, 
			diggers of trenches, channelers of water, users of mirrors-- what, 
			thus endowed, were the Olmecs doing in Mesoamerica?  
				  
				Stelae show them 
			emerging from "Alters that represent entrances into the depths of 
			the earth (fig 58), or inside caves holding a puzzling array of 
			tools, as on the stela from La Venta (top illustration) in which it 
			is possible to discern the enigmatic mirrors being attached to the 
			tool holders helmets.
 All in all, the capabilities, the scenes, the tools appear to us to 
			lead to one conclusion; the Olmecs were miners, come to the new 
			world to extract some precious metals-- probably gold, perhaps other 
			rare minerals too."
 
 (While I agree with Mr. Sitchin, the Olmecs were probably miners, I 
			also believe that they had something to do with the worldwide system 
			of tunnels. There was more to this than just mining. - DGC)
 
			 Mr Sitchin continues;  
				
				"The legends of Votan, which speak of 
			tunneling through mountains, support this conclusion. So does the 
			fact that among the Olden Gods whose worship was adopted from the 
			Olmecs by the Nahautl people were the god Tepeyolloti, meaning, 'Heart of the Mountain.'
				   
				He was a bearded God of caves; his temple 
			had to be made of stone, preferably built inside a mountain. His 
			glyph-symbol was a pierced mountain; he was depicted holding as his 
			tool a flamethrower - just as we had seen at Tula! " 
			 Our suggestion 
			that the flame thrower seen there (both held by
			the Atlanteans and depicted on a column) was probably used to cut 
			through stone, not just carving on stone, is manifestly supported by 
			a stone relief known as Daiza No. 40 after the site in Mexico’s 
			Oaxaca Valley where it was discovered.  
			  
			 It clearly depicts a person 
			inside a confined area, using the flame thrower against a wall in 
			front of him. 
 The travels of Votan sometimes called Pacal Yotan or just 
			
			Lord Pacal 
			by the Maya was covered in Irene Nicholson’s book Mexican and 
			Central American Mythology (1967).
 
			  
			 Ms. Nicholson tells us:  
				
				From 
			some unknown origin he was ordered by the gods to go to America to 
			found a culture. So he departed from his home, called Valum Chivim 
			and unidentified, and by the way of the ’dwelling of the thirteen 
			snakes’ he arrived at Valum Votan. (Snakes are known to live in the 
			underworld. -DGC) 
			 The story continues: 
				
				"From there he travelled up the Usumacinta 
			river and founded Palenque. Afterward he made several visits to his 
			native home, on one of which he came upon a tower which was 
			originally planned to reach the heavens but which was destroyed 
			because of a ’confusion of tongues’ among its architects. Votan was, 
			however allowed to use a subterranean passage in order to reach ’the 
			rock of heaven’." 
			 The December 1975 issue of National Geographic’s cover story "The 
			Maya, Children of Time" by Howard LaFay tells of his visit to the 
			ruins of Palenque in Mexico’s state of Chipas.  
			  
			 He explains how, 
				
				"in 
			1949, Dr. Alberto Ruz Lhuiler - then in charge of the excavations at 
			Palenque" discovered the "most elaborate pyramid tomb in the New 
			World." 
			 He then tells us of his trip into Pacal’s tomb.  
				
				"... I descended the 
			stairway found by Ruz. The limestone passage glistened moistly. You 
			go down, steeply and deeply, through a series of brilliantly 
			engineered corbeled vaults. The awesome passage drops away before 
			you like the nave of a cathedral plunging into the depths. 
				 
				  
				"What 
			impresses you when you enter the tomb of mighty Pacal? The silence. 
			The void that comes with time, too dies. For 1,300 years Pacal had 
			reposed here in absolute silence, in total darkness." 
				 
				
				(page 761) 
			 
			
			David Hatcher Childress tells of his trip into Pacal’s tomb in Lost 
			Cities of North & Central America.  
			  
			 He describes the lid of the 
			sarcophagus, which is our main concern. 
			  
				
				
				 
				  
				  
				"The monolithic sarcophagus is 5 
				feet 5 inches high, 6 feet 10 inches wide and 9 feet 9 inches 
				long. The massive, 5 ton cover slab is 12 and one half feet long 
				by 7 feet inches wide and 8 inches thick..."    
				"The sarcophagus lid has attracted a 
				great deal of attention because of its fascinating detail of a 
				rather odd scene. A man apparently Lord Pacal, is in a seated 
				position, and has an intricate, decorated scene around him."   
				"Erich von Daniken popularized the 
				nation in the late 1960s that this sarcophagus lid showed the 
				portrait of an ancient astronaut taking off or landing in his 
				spaceship, a stylized rocket. Von Daniken is worth quoting, 
					
					"Although the tombstone forms a 
					frame in the middle of which a being is sitting and leaning 
					forwards (like an astronaut in his command module.) This 
					strange being wears a helmet from which twin tubes run 
					backwards. In front of his nose is an oxygen apparatus. The 
					figure is manipulating some kind of controls with both 
					hands.  
					  
					The fingers of the upper hand are arranged as if the 
					being was making a delicate adjustment to a knob in front of 
					him. We can see four fingers of the lower hand which has its 
					back to us. The little finger is crooked. Doesn’t it look as 
					if the being was working a control such as the hand-throttle 
					of a motorbike?  
					  
					The heel of the left foot rests on a pedal 
					with several steps."  
					
					(pages 197-l98)  
			However, for reasons that make a lot of 
			sense, Childress explains in his well researched book, Von Daniken’s 
			explanation is highly unlikely. He then goes on to say:  
				
				"A more 
			credible, and in fact, as interesting an explanation for the 
			sarcophagus lid of Lord Pacal is that the engraved relief represents 
			a division of the universe in three layers; the Upper World, the 
			Middle World, and the Underworld."  
				
				( page 199) 
			Howard LaFay in the December Issue of National Geographic’s, "The 
			Maya, Children of Time" gave another interpretation: 
				
				"Frozen in a 
			perpetual fall, Pacal, the great ruler of Palenque, drops at the 
			instant of death into the jaws sf an underworld monster, just as the 
			sun sinks each day in the west. This interpretation holds that, 
			again, like the sun, he will ascend into the heavens, thus 
			fulfilling a cosmic cycle."  
				
				(page 760) 
			What do Maya legends say about the relief? It is a vessel returning 
			Lord Pacal (Pacal Votan to the underworld.) I believe the Maya, the 
			descendents of Lord Pacal, told us in their legends exactly what the 
			scene represents.
 Once again our research proves that the real answer backs up our 
			theory.
 
 I submit that Lord Pacal is shown sitting in a tunnel car used to 
			travel the 800 miles of subterranean passages (the ’dwelling of the 
			thirteen snakes’) to the land of the underworld and his home, Valum 
			Chivim.
