Hollow Earth

The Hollow Earth hypothesis proposes that the planet Earth either is entirely hollow or otherwise contains a substantial interior space. The scientific community has dismissed the notion since at least the late 18th century. The concept of a hollow Earth recurs many times in folklore and as the premise for subterranean fiction, a subgenre of adventure fiction. It is also featured in some present-day pseudoscientific and conspiracy theories.

Hypotheses

In ancient times, the concept of a subterranean land inside the earth appeared in mythology, folklore and legends. The idea of subterranean realms seemed arguable, and became intertwined with the concept of "places" of origin or afterlife, such as the Greek underworld, the Nordic Svartálfaheimr, the Christian Hell, and the Jewish Sheol (with details describing inner Earth in Kabalistic literature, such as the Zohar and Hesed L'Avraham). The idea of a subterranean realm is also mentioned in Tibetan Buddhism belief. According to one story, there is an ancient city called Shamballa which is located inside the earth.

    Hollow Earth

    by: Kovenant

    Dead center in the middle of nowhere
    Coma existence surrounded by the living dead
    There is no hope, there is no tomorrow
    You took our world and you bled it dry
    These are the last days of planet earth
    (And) we will be there when they realize the truth
    We're spinning around on our way to hell
    We can never get off this carousel
    These are the last days of planet earth
    Victims of a defective genepool
    Soulless existence forever in pointless directions
    Out of tune with true evolution
    There are no answers, there is no solution
    These are the last days of planet earth
    (And) we will be there when they realize the truth
    We're spinning around on our way to hell
    We can never get off this carousel
    These are the last days of planet earth
    "The heart of a mystery is seen through imagination
    But obscured by our inability to control chaos "
    We're spinning around on our way to hell
    We can never get off this carousel
    These are the last days of planet earth
    We're spinning around on our way to hell
    We can never get off this carousel
