This idea has proved incredibly durable.Įven today, there is a small cadre of Hollow Earth believers who are fighting valiantly to validate their ideas through books, websites, meetings and some extremely ambitious travel plans. In the 17th century, some of the leading scientific minds of the time came up with a new theory-that the planet is actually hollow. Modern science holds that that the Earth is an unbroken series of layers, crusts, and liquid magma surrounding a dense, hot core made primarily of iron and nickel. But most of these early beliefs were metaphorical or mythological in origin. To a number of cultures- the ancient Greeks for one-it is a dark place filled with the souls of the dead. From time immemorial, people have believed that there is another world lying just beneath the surface of our planet. ( Rainy Season in the Tropics by Frederic Edwin Church)Īh, the underworld. Giants, Germans, and paradise all await within the Hollow Earth.
