- [Narrator] Humans are a funny species.
We investigate the depths of space and spend trillions
searching for habitable places off world,
along with trying to find ways to get there.
Yet, while it may seem like we have a good understanding
of our own planet, when you really think about it,
we've only just scratched the surface,
pun fully intended.
Though the ocean makes up 70% of the earth,
scientists say that over 80% of it is unmapped
and unexplored.
And the crazy thing is
that's not even what we're talking about today.
No, today we want to go so much deeper.
Today we're going to explore the mysteries and conspiracies
involving what's inside the earth itself.
And before we jump in you might have heard recently
that we're about to launch
the new conspiracy theory of everything.
However, censorship on the internet is a real thing today
and a big problem.
So we're doing our due diligence
and have put together a free library of content
on our website where we can share stuff with you
without fear of it being censored.

Okay, hollow earth let's do this.
(playful music)
Of the 4,000 miles of depth,
we've only ever dug eight miles down.
That's (smacks face) insane!
It's like living in a mansion with 500 rooms
and only ever going in one of them.
Is it possible that our earth has massive inside caves
or even worlds underneath that remain hidden
from us surface dwellers?
Seriously, what's up with so many ancient myths
talking about this exact same thing?
Now scientists have been talking about hollow earth
for at least 400 years now.
One of the oldest hollow earth hypothesis
comes from a man named Edmond Halley,
the one who discovered Halley's comet,
who proposed that the earth would have a solid core
and two more inner spheres with space in between,
each rotating at its own speed.
Others have added on that.
As you progress down each ring,
you may even encounter more and more advanced civilizations.
It's also rumored that prolific mathematician,
Leonard Euler, proposed a hollow earth model
where the core is kind of like a miniature sun,
where the surface is kind of like what we have today,
but inside out.
And what many of these theories have in common
was that some sort of entrance to these realms
existed at our Earth's poles in Antarctica and the Arctic.
Today, even with all of the flat earth conspiracies,
there's still some pretty big speculation
about the existence to entrances of inner earth
somewhere on the surface,
perhaps not just at the poles too but all over the planet.
Who knows, perhaps these flat earth conspiracies
are all a ruse to try and distance humanity
from the conversation
that the planet very well may be hollow.
Unless it is flat, in which case the hollow earth
would just be on the other side?
One of the most interesting things
about all of these hollow earth theories
is that deep inside the earth there are other civilizations
that are probably a lot more harmonious than we are today.
That, or giant Kaiju monsters.
Geez, Japan can't build their life-size Gundam fast enough.
But anyway, this idea isn't actually new.
In fact, multiple ancient religions
have independently come up with stories
of similar subterranean realms from the Tibetan Buddhists,
Christians, Jews, Greeks and the Nordics,
all having some element of myth
and folklore referencing basically, a hollow earth.
While many of these cultures place their idea
of a mythical hell beneath the earth surface,
some of them, including Buddhists,
believed that ancient civilizations
like Shambala or Agartha, way advanced beyond our own,
inhabited the deep underground.
In fact, Shambala was said to have an entrance
in the Himalayas
and was the inspiration behind the mythical city
of Shangri-La, where the fountain of youth was said to be.
As history progressed,
we also saw the myth of hollow earth evolve
and as secret societies crop up
so do the possible connections
with what mysteries may lie beneath.
Some people believe that hollow earth and its entrances
have been discovered already.
There's even a conspiracy theory
that Hitler found a cave in the ocean,
which led to the Earth's habitable interior
where he escaped.
Perhaps that's what Disney's "Atlantis"
was actually all about.
Other theories say that alien races,
or even the Illuminati are hiding beneath our feet
where they can pull strings and influence the surface world
in complete secrecy.
But Patch Man I've been to school, I've seen the posters.
The earth is solid all the way through to its molten core.
There isn't any possibility that life could survive
or even fit down there.
Yes, yes, of course.
We all know what science tells us
about the internal structure of the planet,
but it's important to question
how we came to this conclusion.
As we said earlier, we've only ever observed
eight miles deep into the earth.
So it isn't the fact that we've observed this
that makes scientists believe it,
but rather assumptions made by studying seismic data.
You see, there are different types of waves
that propagate from an earthquake,
and depending on what types of waves
reach certain parts of the earth,
scientists estimate what structure the earth is
through the knowledge that liquid and solid regions
allow different types of waves to move through them.
While the evidence does seem to show
that the earth is not fully hollow,
it doesn't rule out the existence
of significant amounts of space
existing within the earth itself.
In the early 1800s,
some scientists started looking for entrances
to subterranean earth
with the goal of seeing if anything like this truly existed.
And in time, a strong urge to explore the poles
for these entrances bubbled up,
but official expeditions largely fell through.
So what exactly happened in these early expeditions?
Well, after the excitement generated
from scientists like Halley
about the possibility of a hollow earth,
some planned expeditions tried to see for themselves.
The most famous for these expeditions
has to be that of Admiral Byrd in the 1900s,
a World War II veteran and noted polar explorer and pioneer.
Byrd attempted the very first flyover
of the North Pole in 1926.
And at some point turn around due to an oil leak
in his aircraft
and it's debated whether or not he actually made it.
Over the next two decades, Byrd would revisit the South Pole
on expeditions three separate times.
The final one being at the request of Franklin D. Roosevelt
and funded by the US government.
After serving in World War II, receiving a medal of honor,
he continued his pioneering of the polar regions.
It's worth noting that these large expeditions
were some of the earliest thorough explorations
of the region.
And if anything mysterious or powerful was found
then it was the US government who had the first dibs
and the power to keep that knowledge a secret.
In 1984, years after Byrd passed away,
a mysterious diary credited to him from 1947 surfaced.
This diary included a log
detailing a flight Byrd supposedly took
over the North Pole two decades after his first attempt
with some very strange observations.
Here's a summary of it.
Flight Log.
Base Camp: Arctic, 19 February, 1947.
0910 hours.
Vast ice and snow below.
Note coloration of yellowish nature
and disperse in a linear pattern.
Altering course for a better examination
of this color pattern below.
Note reddish or purple color also.
Circle this area two full turns
and return to assigned compass heading.
Position check made and again to base camp,
and relay information concerning colorations
in the ice and snow below.
0910 hours.
Both magnetic and gyrocompasses
beginning to gyrate and wobble.
We're unable to hold our heading by instrumentation.
Took bearing with sun compass, yet all seems well.
The controls are seemingly slow to respond
and have sluggish quality
but there is no indication of icing.
0915 hours.
In the distance is what appears to be mountains.
0949 hours.
29 minutes elapsed flight time
from the first sighting of the mountains.
It is no illusion.
They are mountains and consisting of a small range
that I've never seen before.
1000 hours.
We are crossing over the small mountain range
and still proceeding northward
as best as can be ascertained.
Beyond the mountain range is what appears to be a valley
with a small river or stream
running through the center portion.
There should be no green valley below
something is definitely wrong and abnormal here.
We should be over ice and snow.
To the port side are great forests,
growing on the mountain slopes.
Our navigation instruments are still spinning.
The gyroscope is oscillating back and forth.
1005 hours.
I alter altitude to 1400 feet
and execute a sharp left turn
to better examine the valley below.
It is green with either moss or a type of tight-knit grass.
The light here seems different.
I cannot see the sun anymore.
We make another left turn and we spot what seems
to be a large animal of some kind below us.
It appears to be an elephant.
No, it looks more like a mammoth.
This is incredible.
Yet, there it is.
Decrease altitude to 1000 feet and take binoculars
to better examine the animal.
It is confirmed.
It is definitely a mammoth-like animal,
report this to base camp.
1030 hours.
Encountering more rolling green hills now.
The external temperature indicator
reads 74 degrees Fahrenheit.
Continuing on our heading now,
navigation instruments seem normal now,
I'm puzzled over their actions.
Attempt to contact base camp, radio is not functioning.
1130 hours.
Aircraft seems light and oddly buoyant,
the controls refuse to respond.
My God, off our port and starboard wings
are a strange type of aircraft.
They're closing rapidly alongside.
They're disc shaped and have a radiant quality to them.
1135 hours.
Our radio crackles, and a voice comes through it in English
with what perhaps is a slight Nordic or dramatic accent.
The messages, "Welcome Admiral to our domain.
"We shall land you in exactly seven minutes.
"Relax Admiral, you are in good hands."
I noted the engines of our plane have stopped running.
The aircraft is under some kind
of strange control and is now turning itself.
The controls are useless.
1140 hours.
Another radio message received.
We begin the landing process now
and in moments the plane shudders slightly
and begins a descent as though caught
in some great unseen elevator.
The downward motion is negligible
and we touch down with only a slight jolt.
1145 hours.
I'm making a hasty last entry to the flight log.
Several men are approaching on foot towards our aircraft.
They're tall with blonde hair
in the distance is a large shimmering city
pulsating with rainbow hues of color.
I do not know what is going to happen now
but I see no signs of weapons on those approaching.
I hear now a voice ordering me by name
to open the cargo door.
I will comply, and log.
From here the diary recounts the events after landing.
The author is taken by a smooth floating platform
to a city of elegant futuristic technology.
And after being given a mysterious beverage
is asked to take counsel with some kind of alien
or underworld racist leader.
The leader tells them that they're concerned
with the human's use of nuclear weapons,
power the human race is not ready for.
He is asked to relay this concern to human leaders.
When he is returned to the US
he's asked to keep this experience a secret.
And it is only from this diary entry
that we have any information on the supposed warnings
of an inner earth race.
We do ask that you interpret the story with an open mind,
though there is no way to verify for certain
that Admiral Byrd wrote this or that he experienced this.
It does intersect with some interesting mysteries
regarding the poles and the theories of entrances
to hollow earth there.
As recently as 2017, a Navy whistleblower
has claimed that he saw aerial silver discs
fly over the Transantarctic Mountains
while stationed there from 1983 to 1997.
The whistleblower believes
that there is a top secret project between aliens and humans
taking place at a secret base in the Antarctic.
So why would aliens reside on the poles?
Perhaps it's simply the most remote location
where they can remain a secret.
But hollow earth theorists say that the aliens
are not actually from another world per se
but from within our own earth,
an advanced civilization under our feet
and the poles have hidden passageways
to move between the upper and lower worlds.
There are certainly many anomalies around the Antarctic
that have been the focus of theories
around aliens and government secrets.
Now, as you might remember we shared this
in the Sumerian Epic.
In 2018, someone browsing Fitbit's public running routes
discovered that someone had been jogging
around the South Pole in a very clean geometric pattern.
Upon investigation there was only snow,
but the evidence was undeniable.
There must be a secret underground base
where that user was tracking the route.
Fitbit accidentally revealed other secret US military bases
but the one in Antarctica is perhaps the most interesting.
Since the others involved conflict
with countries around the globe,
what could possibly be going on in Antarctica
that is worth keeping secret?
Are there perhaps more basis scattered
throughout the continent, which remains hidden from us?
The mystery at the poles will continue to fill theories
about their significance,
regarding aliens, hollow earth
and government secrets in general.
While we can't say for sure whether these theories are true
or connected to each other,
they certainly opened the doors of imagination
to what spiritual mysteries are taking place
right underneath our noses.
It's also inspired a great deal of pop culture
with the legends of Agartha, the inner world,
being made into a lovely anime movie
called "The Children who Chased Lost Voices,"
which is actually entirely freely available
to watch here on YouTube.
Let's start to wrap things up with a quote
from Admiral Byrd's diary entry
in which he spoke of visiting the Northern entrance
to hollow earth.
"There comes a time when the rationality of men
"must fade into insignificance
"and one must accept the inevitability of the truth.
"I am not at liberty to disclose the following documentation
"at this writing, perhaps it shall never see the light
"of public scrutiny.
"But I must do duty and record here for all to read one day.
"In a world of greed and exploitation of mankind
"can no longer suppress that which is truth."
So is the earth hollow, solid to the molten core,
or just giant inner caverns
with or without other beings living there?
One peculiar thing worth mentioning here though
is the possibility of multidimensionality.
One commonly proposed theory is that physically,
in the third dimension we do have a molten core,
but on the fourth dimension
the earth has a slightly different form
and there is a higher dimensional plane of existence
with the world of Agartha,
where third dimensionally in the same place,
there is only rock.
It's definitely something worth considering.
Oh, and before you click away,
check out this rabbit hole for a second.
It's so raggedy.

It's so intense that certain episodes
might get banned off of YouTube, we're not really sure.
So we're doing our due diligence
and putting it somewhere that no matter what
