The Hollow Earth - Subterranean Civilizations – Agartha

空心地球-地下文明- Agartha

Underground civilizations link with the 'Hollow Earth Theory'. There are supposedly races that exist in subterranean cities beneath planet Earth. Very often, these dwellers of the world beneath are more technologically advanced than we on the surface. Some believe that UFOs are not from other planets, but are manufactured by strange beings in the interior of the Earth.

地下文明连接到‘空心地球理论’。据猜测族类们存在于地球行星下的地下城市里。时常这些地下世界的居民比地面人类科技先进得多。有些人相信UFO们不是来自其它行星，而是地球内部奇异生命所制造。

In the late 17th century, British astronomer Edmund Halley proposed that Earth consists of four concentric spheres and "also suggested that the interior of the Earth was populated with life and lit by a luminous atmosphere. He thought the aurora borealis, or northern lights, was caused by the escape of this gas through a thin crust at the poles."

在17世纪晚期，英国天文学家Edmund Halley提议地球由四个同心圆组成而“暗示地球内部居住有生命和靠发光的大气层照明。他认为极光或北极光由这些逃逸出来的气体通过位于极地的薄地壳引起。”

In the early 19th century, an eccentric veteran of the war of 1812 John Symmes promoted the idea of interior concentric spheres so widely that the alleged opening to the inner world was named "Symmes Hole."

在19世纪早期，1812年战争的一位行为古怪的老兵John Symmes广泛地发扬了内部同心球体的想法，声称通向内部世界的开口就叫做“Symmes洞”。

Jules Verne wrote Journey to the Center of the Earth in 1864 and Edgar Rice Burroughs (1875-1950), the creator of Martian adventures and Tarzan of the Apes, also wrote novels set in the hollow earth. Legends often ignite the imagination of fiction writers and fiction often ignites the imagination of the pseudoscientist.

儒纳·梵尔纳于1864年写了地心游记，而埃德加·赖斯Burroughs(1875-1950年)，火星冒险的创作者和Apes的泰山也写了小说提了空心地球。传说经常激发小说家的想象而小说经常激发pseudoscientist的想象。

In 1869, Cyrus Reed Teed, an herbalist and self-proclaimed alchemist, had a vision of a woman who told him that we are living on the inside of the hollow Earth. For nearly forty years, Teed promoted his idea in pamphlets and speeches. He even founded a cult called the Koreshans (Koresh is the Hebrew equivalent of Cyrus).

在1869年，赛勒斯·里德·Teed，一位草药医生和自称的炼金术士，有一个女人梦见告诉他我们是生活在空心地球内部。差不多过了50年，Teed用小册子和演讲宣称其思想。他甚至创立了一个称做Koreshans的仪式（Koresh就是希伯来人赛勒斯的相同物）。

In 1906, William Reed published The Phantom of the Poles in which he claimed that nobody had found the north or south poles because they don't exist. Instead, the poles are entrances to the hollow Earth.

在1906年，威廉·里德发表了极的幻影，在书里他声称无人能发现北极和南极，因为它们不存在。相反两极是进入空心地球的入口。

In 1913, Marshall B. Gardner privately published Journey to the Earth's Interior in which he rejected the notion of concentric spheres but swore that inside the hollow earth was a sun 600 miles in diameter. Gardner, too, claimed that there were huge holes a thousand mile wide at the poles.

在1913年，马歇尔·B·加德纳私下地发表了到地球内部的旅行，在书里他不认可同心球体的想法只是发誓空心地球内是直径600英里的太阳。加德纳也声称在两极有一千英里宽的洞。

In the 1940s, Ray Palmer, co-founder of FATE, Flying Saucers from Other Worlds, Search, The Hidden World, and many other pulp publications, teamed up with Richard Shaver to create the Shaver Mystery, a legend of a world of hollow earth people and an advanced civilization. Shaver even claimed to have dwelled with the inner Earth people.

在1940年，命运，来自其它世界的飞碟，探索，隐藏的世界与许多流行出版物的合作者雷·帕默与理查德·Shaver合作创作了Shaver 神秘，一个空心地球的人们与先进文明的传说。Shaver甚至声称与内部地球的人们居住在一起。

According to Richard Toronto, the FBI blamed Palmer and Shaver for concocting "flying saucer hysteria" in 1947, making them the true founding fathers of modern UFOlogy.

根据理查德多伦多的说法，FBI诅咒帕默和Shaver在1947年编造了“飞碟臆想”，使得他们真正成为现代飞碟学奠基之父。
