The Hollow Earth Theory suggests that the Earth is hollow, with a habitable interior containing vegetation, oxygen, and a sun-like object that provides heat and light. This idea has been around since ancient times, appearing in various mythologies and folklore, such as Greek mythology, Christian hell, and Tibetan Buddhism.
In the 17th century, British astronomer Edmond Halley proposed a scientific theory of the Hollow Earth, suggesting that the Earth's interior was made up of spherical shells that rotated in different directions, with atmospheres that could harbor life. This idea gained popularity in the 19th century, with writers like Jules Verne and Eduardo Duran publishing books that used the theory as a basis for their stories.
The theory also gained attention in the 20th century, with Adolf Hitler allegedly believing in it and sending expeditions to find secret entrances to the Hollow Earth. An American aviator and Navy admiral, Richard, also reportedly discovered a secret civilization in the North Pole in 1947, which was said to be concerned about nuclear weapons and human rights.
The Hollow Earth Theory is still present in various mythological and spiritual beliefs, such as the concept of Shambala in Tibetan Buddhism, which is a mystical city with a hidden entrance that is connected to the Kingdom of Agarta.
