Chapter 14 -- Hollow Earth Geophysics
To the right is Gardnet's 1914 patent for a hinged
model of our hollow earth.
Upon the outer surface of the globe are the usual
geographical illustrations or maps indicating the
continents of the world. Upon the inner surface of
the globe are also arranged geographical
indications indicating illustrating continents which
according to the theory of the inventor exist on the
inner surface of the globe.
We've added the blue to make apparent the oceans
and rivers.
As the patent is for a device -- not an idea -- its
issuance was legally valid, but as the patent has
since expired, we are free today to saw a globe in half
and sktech the interior with what ever geography we
favor.
The polar-hole arguments of Gardner and Reed are the same as Symmes'. Reed suggested that
the flattening of the poles proves that there must be an opening, as this would detract from the
roundness. As for how the central sun came to be, Gardner cited the Ring Nebula in the
constellation Lyra which looks like shells of gas surrounding a star.
Both Reed and Gardner believed the earth's
interior to be inhabited. Gardner believed it was
the original home of both the Eskimos and all
the East Asians, even suggesting that the "up
and outward position" of Oriental eyes may be
A modification of the ordinary eye position
induced by the fact that in the interior the sun
is always in the zenith.
Raymond W. Bernard, a Rosicrucian, dedicated The Hollow Earth (1964) to Admiral Richard
Byrd.
