Hollow Earth: The Long and Curious History of Imagining Strange Lands, Fantastical Creatures, Advanced Civilizations



Beliefs in mysterious underworlds are as old as humanity. But the idea that the earth has a hollow interior was first proposed as a scientific theory in 1691 by Sir Edmond Halley (of comet fame), who suggested that there might be life down there as well. Hollow Earth traces the surprising, marvelous, and just plain weird permutations his ideas have taken over the centuries. From science fiction to utopian societies and even religions, Hollow Earth travels through centuries and cultures, exploring how each era's relationship to the idea of a hollow earth mirrored its hopes, fears, and values. Illustrated with everything from seventeenth-century maps to 1950s pulp art to movie posters and more, Hollow Earth is for anyone interested in the history of strange ideas that just won't go away.

Hollow Earth is facinating. This has been discussed in Buddisism and called it Agarhta, thousands of years ago.

Its possibilities have been interlectually laid bare.

lol, I have to agree with you. But far be it from me to tell someone else that they shouldn't believe something. I don't know everything so I share a wide variety of things; even things I might not believe in myself. :)

I do like to look at different things that I might not believe myself because it gives me a bit of an education on what other people think and believe.

Thanks for the reup Nancy! Max Reps to you.
