Hollow Earth
Posted on Wednesday 15 December 2004
It has long been known that the Earth is hollow and that there are, in fact, enormous openings at each of the poles.
Gerard Mercator made a chart of the Northern region
(published after his death in 1595) which he based on the writings of
one Jacobus Cnoyen of the Hague who, in turn, based his knowledge on a
lost book known as the Inventio Fortunatae. In a letter to John Dee, Mercator quotes from Cnoyen about the North Pole:
In the midst of the four countries is a Whirlpool into which there empty these four Indrawing Seas which divide the North. And the water rushes round and descends into the earth just as if one were pouring it through a filter funnel. It is 4 degrees wide on every side of the Pole, that is to say eight degrees altogether.According to Cnoyen, King Arthur sent an expeditionary force of 4,000 men to explore this region but their ships were irresistibly drawn by the current and sucked into the hole. All on board were thought to have perished.
In more scientific times, the nature of these holes have become better known. Rather than mere vortices that destroy, they are now considered to be gateways into another world that exists on the inside of a hollow globe. This world, which is illuminated by an inner sun (the nuclear core that lies at the centre of our planet) has oceans and continents just like the outer surface. Furthermore, according to the writings of Olaf Jansen, a Norwegian fisherman who recounted in his voyage there in the 1829, the port of the main continent is called Jehu and the capital of this country is called Eden.
For those eager to explore this scarcely known inner world, an expedition of discovery is currently being organised with a planned departure date of the 26th of June 2006.
Incidentally, in a spate of robberies that have plagued museums worldwide, the crystal ball employed by John Dee, royal astrologer to Queen Elizabeth has been stolen.
