Awake Goy Part 2 – The Myth of Hyperborea in Western Culture
This second part of this series of articles is going to be focused mostly on the myth of Hyperborea and the Hollow Earth in science, literature and culture in the Western World. Notice that such myth has persevered all through the centuries. The stories of mighty paradises inhabited by gods (in the modern world of today the word ‘Alien’ is more commonly used) of amazing stature and technology has fed the imagination of uncountable writers and artists. Some of the books displayed here (according to their authors) are based on real accounts. These books have nurtured the imagination of many people, at the same time that they have prodigiously influenced the realm of so-called ‘conspiracy theories’. I have not tried to create a thorough list of items pertaining to the myth of Hollow Earth in Western Culture, far from it. I have just gathered the things I find the most interesting and intriguing. The few books that I have included next are basically classics of the genre though.
The Phantom of The Poles by William Reed (1906) was a book written during an age of technical advancement and discovery, so much so that Robert Peary and Matthew Henson officially ‘discovered’ the North Pole three years after this book was published (to Reed’s dismay I suppose). In the book’s introduction, Reed tells us that we are not reading a work of ‘entertaining fiction’, but a serious work intended to spread the truth about the real nature of this planet and its hollow interior, the Inner Earth.
The first chapter gives us a list of twelve ‘problems to be solved’ that Reed sees in the phenomena of the polar regions, from the Aurora Borealis to tidal waves, meteorites, the colour of arctic snow and the refusal of compass needles to work near the poles. Volcanoes are credited to be the cause of the Aurora Borealis phenomenon (which sounds pretty naive in my opinion), according to Reed the Auroras are simply glowing reflections of volcanic fires or forest-fires in the interior of the Earth. In some instances Reed seems to write some of his accounts out of faulty guess-work (or worse), for instance, when he is referring to the possible inhabitants of the Earth’s interior as a ‘civilization of a low order’, not more superior than that of Eskimos (I wonder where he got that idea from). All this can be found in chapter XIV, Habitants of the Arctic Regions, pg.201. In an exercise of almost intellectual laziness William Reed proceeds in the following chapter as follows:
That the Earth is hollow is proved by the fact that no one can get to the poles. In recent years all explorers have made practically the same progress.’ (Chapter XXI, Cannot Reach The Poles, pg.272) ‘I have been asked what I expect to find in the interior of the Earth. That, of course, is speculative, based on the little evidence found on Earth. It is not like the question, ‘Is the Earth hollow?’ We know that it is, but do not know what will be found in its interior.’ (Chapter XXII. What Is In The Interior of The Earth?, pg.275)
In the final chapter ‘In Conclusion’ (pg.282) Reed brushes off the whole issue at once stating; ”The Earth is either hollow or it is not. What proof have we concerning the latter? Not one iota, positive or circumstantial. On the contrary, everything points to its being hollow’.’
Though it is very easy now, after more than a century of scientific discoveries, to dismiss William Reed’s work as laughable, it was the most scientifically reasoned treaty of its kind in favour of the hollow earth theory at that particular time in history. So much so that we can say, with a reasonable degree of certainty, that his work fire-started the whole phenomenon in subsequent decades of the 20th Century.
Of all the attempts throughout history to geographically locate the Garden of Eden one of the most compelling was that proposed by minister and president of Boston University, William F. Warren, who put forth the theory that the cradle of all humanity was originally at the North Pole. The book was entitled Paradise Found, The Cradle Of The Human Race At The North Pole (1885).
In his work Warren placed Atlantis at such location, as well as other folk-legends as the Garden of Eden, Mount Meru, Avalon and Hyperborea. Warren believed all these mythical lands were ancient lost-in-time memories of a former inhabited far northern realm where man came originally from. Warren positioned Atlas in the far North by mapping out ancient Greek cosmology. Warren equated the primordial Titan Atlas of Greek mythology to the ‘Atlas’ described in Plato’s dialogue Critias as the first king of Atlantis (Critias, 114a). In Warren’s view, all the ‘axis mundis’ of ancient legends had to be at the North Pole or in his own words ‘at the top of the world’.
The image above belongs to an antique map of the Arctic North Pole entitled Septentrionalium Terrarum Descriptio known as ‘the most spectacular and sought-after map of the North Pole’ created by Gerardus Mercator in 1595 (the image probably belongs to a later edition produced in 1611) size: 36.5 x 39.2 cm, technique employed: copper engraving, verso: Latin. The map shows the ‘Rupes Nigra’ (a.k.a as ‘Mount Meru’ in ancient tradition) at the center. According to an Internet entry (with attached PDF for free download) entitled A Letter Dated 1577 from Mercator to John Dee this is a translation taken from Mercator’s 1569 polar map:
We have taken [the Arctic geography] from the Itinerium of Jacobus Cnoyen of the Hague, who makes some citations from the Gesta of Arthur of Britain; however, the greater and most important part he learned from a certain priest at the court of the king of Norway in 1364. He was descended in the fifth generation from those whom Arthur had sent to inhabit these lands, and he related that in the year 1360 a certain Minorite, an Englishman from Oxford, a mathematician, went to those islands; and leaving them, advanced still farther by magic arts and mapped out all and measured them by an astrolabe in practically the subjoined figure, as we have learned from Jacobus. The four canals there pictured he said flow with such current to the inner whirlpool, that if vessels once enter they cannot be driven back by wind.”
What is my problem here? The letter’s recipient (as showed) was no other than John Dee himself, proto-Masonic black magician and original ‘007 spy’. Jan Irvin of Gnostic Media has exposed this character through and through in his series, so I will not go down this rabbit hole for the sake of not veering too much from the subject at hand in this article. We just can speculate on Mercator’s agenda when producing this old map; was this some kind of ‘inside information’ exchange between both characters? was Mercator being truly honest about it all?
The story of technically advanced blue skinned ‘aliens’ living in Earth’s interior has been part of popular culture for quite some time. This image belongs to a comic book series from the 1970s entitled Yoko Tsuno created by Belgian (or should I say Walloon) comic strip artist and novelist Roger Leloup, former collaborator of Hergé, with whom he created drawings and elaborate decoration for The Adventures of Tintin. Yoko Tsuno is a female electrical engineer of Japanese origin who operates in Belgium along with her close European male friends, Vic Video and Pol Pitron. Their adventures bring them, among other exotic places, to the underground realm of an ancient alien species called the ‘Vineans’. In these encounters Yoko meets a female extraterrestrial called Khany who is a member of this extraterrestrial race of Vineans herself. She is the undeclared leader who directs the return of the Vineans from Earth to Vinea, their home planet. She also undertakes expeditions to find lost Vinean colonies lost after their former planet was destroyed in an epic cataclysm. This alien character appears in eight of Yoko Tsuno’s comicbooks, which makes the whole thing a very long story to deal with. I remember in my childhood buying Le Trio de l’étrange (‘The Curious Trio’ in the English version) getting my young mind complete stunned by such an uncanny tale.
For some reason this curious story seems to echo some of the content of journalist and author Miguel Serrano’s book Adolf Hitler, El Ultimo Avatara (‘Adolf Hitler, The Last Avatar’) published in 1984, which he dedicates ‘to the glory of the Fuhrer, Adolf Hitler’. According to Serrano, the Hyperboreans were originally from beyond our galaxy, arriving on Earth in remote antiquity, just like the ‘Vineans’ do in Yoko Tsuno’s The Curious Trio comic book. It is also remarkable, though not surprising, that Devin Madgy himself dedicates an entire video to Miguel Serrano entitled Flat Earths 8th Chakra and Book of the Resurrection (published January 25, 2017) in which he talks about Serrano’s philosophy and work, particularly about the book NOS Book of the Resurrection (1984) which Madgy describes as a masterpiece.
If someone had told me years ago that Miguel Serrano was going to become so ‘popular’, and his books were going to be taken so seriously by so many people non-related to any Third Reich ideology, I would have never believed that person at all, especially taking into account Serrano’s books were pretty much difficult to get back then (remember a world without Internet, anyone?), save for in the underground sphere of certain political wing, of course.
All this said, and as a later addition, I have to mention the book The Smokey God written by Willis George Emerson in 1908, which narrates the adventures of a Norwegian sailor named Olaf Jansen who travels with his father to the Earth’s interior at the North Pole. The book was presented as a true account. According to the story Jansen lived for two years with the inhabitants of an underground network of colonies who, Emerson writes ‘were 12 feet tall and whose world was lit by a “smoky” central sun’. Their capital city was said to be the original ‘Garden of Eden’ (seemingly echoing William F. Warren’s story). In the book Olaf Janson narrates:
My father was an ardent believer in Odin and Thor, and had frequently told me they were gods who came from far beyond the “North Wind.” There was a tradition, my father explained, that still farther northward was a land more beautiful than any that mortal man had ever known, and that it was inhabited by the “Chosen”(5)’.
Conclusion
Even if I have not found any evidence of either William D. Warren or William Reed being members of any secret Masonic society I cannot help noticing a ‘black hand’ behind the veil of all these ‘conspiracy theories’ of the past centuries concerning the Hollow Earth issue. As discussed in Part 1 of these series of articles Admiral Byrd was pretty well known as a devoted Freemason, so in the light of this unsavory revelation one is almost forced to analyze everything under the microscope of reason so to speak. Also, in the field of fiction novels, let’s not forget about the most famous Hollow Earth story of all time Journey to the Center of the Earth (1864) written by Jules Verne, a pretty well-known Freemason as well.
Even if in the most ancient of mankind’s stories we can find, written on clay tablets like the ones coming from Mesopotamia, tales like Gilgamesh (Table XII) talking about ‘The Descent of Ishtar to the Underworld‘ where she ventures to meet different kinds of creatures inside the Earth, one is always left with doubts about the veracity of it all. But there is not only that; Plato wrote of enormous subterranean tunnels both broad and narrow that made up the Earth’s interior. In the same tradition we can find The Myth of Hades and Persephone (Hades being obviously the god of the underworld in Greek mythology). Later on in history Dr. Edmond Halley, of comet fame, believed that all heavenly bodies were hollow and in a speech before the members of the Royal Society of London stated, ‘Beneath the crust of the Earth, which is 500 feet thick, is a hollow void’. Then there was Leonard Euler (1707-1783), noted mathematician and one of the founders of higher mathematics. He stated that, ‘mathematically the Earth has to be hollow’, so I will leave it at that. As an additional note, I have not found any solid evidence of either Halley or Eurler being Freemasons, however Euler knew about the existence of a secret society of men known as the ‘Brotherhood of Freemasons’, who “knew the mysteries of the ancients” as told in this story here.
Last but not least, to add more strange meat to this conspiracy, I have to obviously mention Baron Trump’s Marvellous Underground Journey (1893) by Ingersoll Lockwood. This book narrates the journey of little Baron Trump who travels through an opening in Arctic Russia which leads him into the interior world. He passes through the strange countries of the ‘Transparent Folk’ and the ‘Rattlebrains’ among others. Some people might be aware of the whole conspiracy related to this story and Trump’s son ,which is disclosed in the video entitled Something Strange Is Going on with the Trump Family. For anyone who might think that the book is a hoax; this novel and its sequel written by Lockwood as well entitled The Last President (1900) (a.k.a. 1900) are archived by the Library of Congress and can be found at the links I have provided. Leaving aside all the wild speculation concerning Trump, my question is; why is the book referencing the Hollow Earth of all things?
In the next article I will be discussing more subjects (again) related to the stuff the Flat Earth Paradise YouTube channel has been putting out, which will be about the afterlife connected to Hollow Earth. This will be something more in tune with the realm of mysticism and spirituality.
