00:00:13,469 --> 00:00:13,969
Straw

00:00:17,159 --> 00:00:17,659
bone

3
00:00:18,597 --> 00:00:19,876
and civil.

4
00:00:22,273 --> 00:00:23,412
Bleeding saints

5
00:00:24,111 --> 00:00:25,090
and forests

6
00:00:25,721 --> 00:00:26,039
witches,

7
00:00:27,232 --> 00:00:27,948
the past,

8
00:00:28,346 --> 00:00:29,142
un buried,

9
00:00:30,176 --> 00:00:30,732
the books,

10
00:00:31,528 --> 00:00:32,028
un

11
00:00:32,419 --> 00:00:32,919
sealed

12
00:00:34,173 --> 00:00:34,913
the old

13
00:00:35,769 --> 00:00:36,269
celebration

14
00:00:37,444 --> 00:00:37,922
return.

15
00:00:46,136 --> 00:00:49,552
Hello, and welcome to my study. Please come

16
00:00:49,552 --> 00:00:52,280
in and have a see, all the books

17
00:00:52,280 --> 00:00:54,679
are surrounding you are those used to research

18
00:00:54,679 --> 00:00:57,399
our show and the individual to my ride

19
00:00:57,399 --> 00:00:59,559
here along with managing domestic duties.

20
00:01:00,210 --> 00:01:02,587
Serves as our reader for any passages that

21
00:01:02,587 --> 00:01:05,123
will be directly quoted from those sources.

22
00:01:05,837 --> 00:01:08,947
Her name is miss is cars. Hello moe.

23
00:01:09,820 --> 00:01:12,703
Alright you hope everyone's been enjoying the very

24
00:01:12,759 --> 00:01:15,435
summary days we've been blessed with. I personally.

25
00:01:16,113 --> 00:01:18,348
Hate them, but that's just me. It's not

26
00:01:18,348 --> 00:01:20,344
that bad if you don't stay out long.

27
00:01:21,062 --> 00:01:23,377
The bee love it at least. And clearly,

28
00:01:23,537 --> 00:01:24,335
the rats love it.

29
00:01:25,540 --> 00:01:27,284
That wouldn't be an issue if we still

30
00:01:27,284 --> 00:01:28,552
had strings around.

31
00:01:29,582 --> 00:01:32,015
You should tear down that old scenario

32
00:01:32,692 --> 00:01:34,127
They've really taken it over.

33
00:01:34,845 --> 00:01:35,243
Monday day.

34
00:01:36,599 --> 00:01:38,911
Anyway, getting the under growth removed should help.

35
00:01:39,310 --> 00:01:41,555
I thought the new grounds was coming last

36
00:01:41,555 --> 00:01:43,782
week. The agency have been sending out candidates,

37
00:01:44,021 --> 00:01:45,612
but none them seem to want the job

38
00:01:45,612 --> 00:01:47,703
once they come out. Maybe

39
00:01:48,094 --> 00:01:50,169
It's the unit uniform. Well, that's part of

40
00:01:50,169 --> 00:01:52,484
what they're paid for, representing the estate to

41
00:01:52,484 --> 00:01:53,042
the public.

42
00:01:54,080 --> 00:01:55,378
They have to look present present

43
00:01:56,648 --> 00:01:58,416
but the leather apron.

44
00:01:58,947 --> 00:01:59,819
Protects their clothing.

45
00:02:00,374 --> 00:02:01,246
Your clothing.

46
00:02:01,959 --> 00:02:03,094
The apron seem

47
00:02:03,545 --> 00:02:05,940
hot. They're optional. They don't have to wear

48
00:02:05,940 --> 00:02:07,392
them if it's 90 degrees

49
00:02:08,637 --> 00:02:09,137
for

50
00:02:09,510 --> 00:02:09,748
what?

51
00:02:10,541 --> 00:02:12,128
80? I don't know. Flexible.

52
00:02:12,699 --> 00:02:14,691
70 degrees. I think people just want to

53
00:02:14,691 --> 00:02:17,081
wear their own clothing. And in healthy when

54
00:02:17,081 --> 00:02:17,559
ice water.

55
00:02:21,635 --> 00:02:23,385
Didn't you want to do your new Patreon

56
00:02:23,385 --> 00:02:25,954
thing? Yes. And I read.

57
00:02:26,568 --> 00:02:28,557
So in our last episode, I announced that

58
00:02:28,557 --> 00:02:31,436
we'd be thanking our new patrons here at

59
00:02:31,436 --> 00:02:33,186
the top of the show, and I read

60
00:02:33,186 --> 00:02:35,174
a little verse I wrote to honor them.

61
00:02:35,890 --> 00:02:37,498
And something I was thinking of as a

62
00:02:37,498 --> 00:02:39,650
a jingle ideally with music.

63
00:02:40,367 --> 00:02:42,438
So then within just a few days or

64
00:02:42,438 --> 00:02:45,711
maybe 48 hours I received a recording from

65
00:02:45,711 --> 00:02:48,807
a very kind listener in the Uk, Bruce

66
00:02:48,965 --> 00:02:50,021
Walker, who

67
00:02:50,394 --> 00:02:52,953
ran something very nice using the voices of

68
00:02:52,953 --> 00:02:54,788
his children. Are they twins?

69
00:02:55,267 --> 00:02:56,863
Well, they sound like twins. It's a boy

70
00:02:56,863 --> 00:02:59,496
and a girl, so not identical twins certainly.

71
00:03:00,069 --> 00:03:02,542
But I I should mention their names, David

72
00:03:02,542 --> 00:03:05,413
and Julie. Thank you. If you're listening? Yes.

73
00:03:05,732 --> 00:03:06,131
Thank you.

74
00:03:06,849 --> 00:03:09,640
Maybe if you're listening, you could write us.

75
00:03:10,134 --> 00:03:12,375
And tell us a little bit about elves.

76
00:03:12,854 --> 00:03:13,254
Why not?

77
00:03:14,215 --> 00:03:15,114
But let's

78
00:03:15,655 --> 00:03:17,435
go ahead and play this

79
00:03:18,067 --> 00:03:19,978
Thank you to our friends who can listen

80
00:03:19,978 --> 00:03:20,615
to the show.

81
00:03:22,048 --> 00:03:24,356
Sharing in our travels 3 tales of long

82
00:03:24,356 --> 00:03:24,595
ago.

83
00:03:26,042 --> 00:03:27,392
Stories full of folk.

84
00:03:28,026 --> 00:03:29,296
Stories for of color.

85
00:03:31,995 --> 00:03:34,080
If you give us money, we will like

86
00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:34,560
him more.

87
00:03:37,439 --> 00:03:39,599
And our heroes of the day are...

88
00:03:40,480 --> 00:03:41,460
Neil G.

89
00:03:42,253 --> 00:03:43,210
Chris Berger,

90
00:03:44,008 --> 00:03:45,044
Maria Holds,

91
00:03:45,682 --> 00:03:46,182
and

92
00:03:47,118 --> 00:03:49,191
gil it dragon. Thank you.

93
00:03:49,988 --> 00:03:52,550
Yes. Thank you. And and do write to

94
00:03:52,550 --> 00:03:53,663
us, David and Julie.

95
00:03:54,617 --> 00:03:57,399
So at as for our show, I'm bringing

96
00:03:57,399 --> 00:04:00,994
back our sci fight summer tradition. We missed

97
00:04:00,994 --> 00:04:03,144
out last year, but in 20 22, we

98
00:04:03,144 --> 00:04:04,122
had our 14

99
00:04:04,975 --> 00:04:08,735
star slime episode. And in 20 21 our

100
00:04:08,735 --> 00:04:09,235
show

101
00:04:09,693 --> 00:04:13,623
connecting flying sauce with theo and rosa.

102
00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:15,689
Let us No You're okay.

103
00:04:16,884 --> 00:04:18,557
What? David and Julie.

104
00:04:21,919 --> 00:04:23,757
Of course, they are. What is wrong with

105
00:04:23,757 --> 00:04:25,514
you? I have a big heart.

106
00:04:29,202 --> 00:04:31,904
I'm sorry. That's just how I am. It's

107
00:04:31,904 --> 00:04:32,063
just...

108
00:04:34,765 --> 00:04:34,924
Alright.

109
00:04:36,752 --> 00:04:37,728
This is

110
00:04:38,278 --> 00:04:39,336
episode 01:30

111
00:04:40,112 --> 00:04:41,489
inside the hollow.

112
00:04:49,927 --> 00:04:52,335
I am your host, A Ride,

113
00:04:52,788 --> 00:04:55,730
and this show bone and sickle examine the

114
00:04:55,730 --> 00:04:59,271
inter 20 of horror and folk in a

115
00:04:59,329 --> 00:05:00,307
historical context.

116
00:05:01,082 --> 00:05:03,154
I started the show as a way to

117
00:05:03,154 --> 00:05:06,203
further explore this area of intersection after writing

118
00:05:06,203 --> 00:05:08,281
my book, the K is and the old

119
00:05:08,281 --> 00:05:11,818
dark Christmas and will have a related volume

120
00:05:11,877 --> 00:05:13,795
out at the start of next year.

121
00:05:14,846 --> 00:05:17,490
Bone Sickle only exists thanks to the generosity

122
00:05:17,545 --> 00:05:20,245
of our patron donors who choose from a

123
00:05:20,245 --> 00:05:20,745
tantalizing

124
00:05:21,198 --> 00:05:24,712
array of monthly rewards, including shirts sm, dusty

125
00:05:24,712 --> 00:05:27,288
old things from library shelves here and

126
00:05:27,825 --> 00:05:30,061
access to monthly bonus episodes.

127
00:05:30,619 --> 00:05:32,216
And I'll have more on all that. At

128
00:05:32,216 --> 00:05:34,169
the end, of our

129
00:05:34,628 --> 00:05:34,867
show.

130
00:06:09,490 --> 00:06:12,842
You're curing a portion of the medieval Norwegian

131
00:06:12,842 --> 00:06:13,242
ballot,

132
00:06:14,691 --> 00:06:15,565
Sung by Ar

133
00:06:16,121 --> 00:06:16,621
Brexit.

134
00:06:17,471 --> 00:06:19,481
L is the name of a young girl

135
00:06:19,537 --> 00:06:22,689
who 1 day goes riding near the ancient

136
00:06:22,809 --> 00:06:26,564
barrels or mounds associated with no or elves.

137
00:06:27,363 --> 00:06:30,092
There are probably over a hundred variations the

138
00:06:30,092 --> 00:06:31,147
song, but

139
00:06:31,521 --> 00:06:34,220
all of them end with Lit entering the

140
00:06:34,220 --> 00:06:36,522
mound where she is seduced by the Barr

141
00:06:36,681 --> 00:06:37,078
Ko,

142
00:06:37,555 --> 00:06:38,610
the king of the mountain

143
00:06:38,999 --> 00:06:41,863
who gives her a magic drink causing her

144
00:06:41,863 --> 00:06:44,408
to forget her life and the world above.

145
00:06:51,524 --> 00:06:55,285
There are many similar ballots and countless folk

146
00:06:55,285 --> 00:06:57,159
tales the similar plot lines

147
00:06:57,618 --> 00:06:59,856
don't work frequently with the genders reverse that

148
00:06:59,856 --> 00:07:02,253
if a male seduced to linger in a

149
00:07:02,253 --> 00:07:03,851
sub ferry realm, like,

150
00:07:04,570 --> 00:07:06,583
story of the night, Ton house or who

151
00:07:06,583 --> 00:07:08,741
lives for many years in the underground pleasure

152
00:07:08,741 --> 00:07:11,378
gardens, the famous bag or Mountain of Venus,

153
00:07:12,177 --> 00:07:12,677
story

154
00:07:13,056 --> 00:07:15,386
mentioned along with similar tales in our Cave,

155
00:07:15,545 --> 00:07:16,576
which is episode.

156
00:07:17,925 --> 00:07:20,941
Another we've discussed is the Welsh tale of

157
00:07:21,020 --> 00:07:21,735
King Her,

158
00:07:22,528 --> 00:07:25,163
who's invited to a sub wedding by a

159
00:07:25,163 --> 00:07:26,060
dwarf king

160
00:07:26,434 --> 00:07:28,737
and only returns to the surface hundreds of

161
00:07:28,737 --> 00:07:29,555
years later

162
00:07:29,928 --> 00:07:32,152
in the form of a wandering spirit.

163
00:07:37,120 --> 00:07:40,560
1, I've not mentioned was recorded as an

164
00:07:40,560 --> 00:07:41,839
alleged first firsthand account,

165
00:07:42,572 --> 00:07:45,588
by Gerald of Wales in his late twelfth

166
00:07:45,588 --> 00:07:45,985
century

167
00:07:47,096 --> 00:07:49,477
Comb, the itinerary through Wales,

168
00:07:50,682 --> 00:07:52,903
Not explicitly a ferry story. It goes to

169
00:07:52,903 --> 00:07:56,257
some lengths to describe an underground

170
00:07:56,709 --> 00:07:56,947
civilization.

171
00:07:58,072 --> 00:08:00,373
Gerald presents it as a true story related

172
00:08:00,373 --> 00:08:02,276
to him by a priest who as a

173
00:08:02,276 --> 00:08:04,418
boy was wandering along a river bank,

174
00:08:04,989 --> 00:08:06,441
when he encounters

175
00:08:07,608 --> 00:08:08,878
2 tiny men.

176
00:08:09,592 --> 00:08:11,021
Who lead him off.

177
00:08:11,814 --> 00:08:12,211
First,

178
00:08:12,624 --> 00:08:13,524
through a dark

179
00:08:14,063 --> 00:08:14,782
underground tunnel,

180
00:08:15,341 --> 00:08:16,081
and then

181
00:08:16,620 --> 00:08:18,159
into a most attractive

182
00:08:18,538 --> 00:08:19,038
country

183
00:08:19,577 --> 00:08:21,435
where there were lovely rivers

184
00:08:21,987 --> 00:08:24,394
and delightful woodlands and plain.

185
00:08:26,437 --> 00:08:28,821
It was rather dark because the sun did

186
00:08:28,821 --> 00:08:29,872
not shine there.

187
00:08:30,750 --> 00:08:33,702
The days were all overcast as if by

188
00:08:33,702 --> 00:08:34,101
clouds,

189
00:08:34,740 --> 00:08:37,387
and the knights were pitch black.

190
00:08:37,944 --> 00:08:40,175
For there was no moon or stars.

191
00:08:41,449 --> 00:08:43,702
The majority of the tale is to butt

192
00:08:43,839 --> 00:08:45,773
describing the nature of their sub

193
00:08:46,325 --> 00:08:46,825
society

194
00:08:47,445 --> 00:08:49,465
as a sort of un uninterrupted

195
00:08:49,924 --> 00:08:52,804
superior version of our own. They never ate

196
00:08:52,804 --> 00:08:53,764
meat or fish.

197
00:08:54,416 --> 00:08:55,869
They never give their word

198
00:08:56,243 --> 00:08:59,339
for their hated lies more than anything they

199
00:08:59,339 --> 00:09:00,054
could think of.

200
00:09:02,134 --> 00:09:04,203
Whenever they came back from the upper field,

201
00:09:04,760 --> 00:09:08,285
they would speak contempt of our own ambitions

202
00:09:08,661 --> 00:09:09,161
in

203
00:09:09,616 --> 00:09:10,912
and inconsistencies.

204
00:09:12,177 --> 00:09:14,562
They had no wish for public warship,

205
00:09:15,197 --> 00:09:17,662
and what they revered and admired or so

206
00:09:17,662 --> 00:09:18,218
it seemed,

207
00:09:18,854 --> 00:09:20,943
was a plain, un var

208
00:09:21,253 --> 00:09:21,570
truth.

209
00:09:23,316 --> 00:09:25,934
These sorts of details provided by Gerald of

210
00:09:26,014 --> 00:09:27,759
Wales in 11 91,

211
00:09:28,727 --> 00:09:30,477
establish a pattern to be followed over the

212
00:09:30,477 --> 00:09:31,932
next 8 centuries.

213
00:09:32,705 --> 00:09:35,384
Utopian fantasies, imagining, and

214
00:09:35,821 --> 00:09:37,986
ideal Earth within or

215
00:09:38,359 --> 00:09:39,390
below our own.

216
00:09:45,126 --> 00:09:48,319
In the seventeenth century, another key element to

217
00:09:48,319 --> 00:09:49,857
these narratives appeared

218
00:09:50,315 --> 00:09:50,815
a

219
00:09:51,193 --> 00:09:52,252
geographic specificity.

220
00:09:53,363 --> 00:09:57,028
The entrance to this interior world would increasingly

221
00:09:57,028 --> 00:09:59,099
be found at the ends of the earth,

222
00:09:59,338 --> 00:09:59,838
usually

223
00:10:00,469 --> 00:10:02,782
in the far northern regions near the North

224
00:10:03,021 --> 00:10:07,647
Pole or theoretically also antarctica, though, this was

225
00:10:07,647 --> 00:10:09,024
further from the European

226
00:10:09,481 --> 00:10:10,293
imagination. The time.

227
00:10:12,279 --> 00:10:15,798
Margaret Cave, the Duchess of Newcastle upon

228
00:10:16,490 --> 00:10:18,238
offers the first instance of this.

229
00:10:18,889 --> 00:10:21,275
She was a poet, writer and play right

230
00:10:21,275 --> 00:10:25,014
who also wrote on philosophy and scientific theories

231
00:10:25,014 --> 00:10:25,491
for day.

232
00:10:26,223 --> 00:10:29,512
And she discussed with the many influential thinkers

233
00:10:29,570 --> 00:10:32,279
passing through her ari democratic world,

234
00:10:34,125 --> 00:10:36,105
Her 16 53 poem,

235
00:10:36,739 --> 00:10:38,348
the Fairy queen's kingdom

236
00:10:38,799 --> 00:10:39,116
begins.

237
00:10:40,954 --> 00:10:43,977
The Fe queen's large kingdom got by birth.

238
00:10:44,614 --> 00:10:47,637
It's in the circled center of the earth.

239
00:10:48,529 --> 00:10:51,330
Where there are many springs and running streams,

240
00:10:52,050 --> 00:10:55,009
whose waves to listen by the queen's bright

241
00:10:55,009 --> 00:10:55,490
beams.

242
00:10:57,978 --> 00:11:01,391
13 years later, she imagined different interior realm

243
00:11:01,391 --> 00:11:02,764
in her prose fantasy,

244
00:11:03,296 --> 00:11:04,804
the blazing world,

245
00:11:05,677 --> 00:11:09,380
a world populated not by fairies, but peculiar

246
00:11:09,518 --> 00:11:11,272
animal human hybrids.

247
00:11:12,149 --> 00:11:14,382
1 entered to, the north pole.

248
00:11:15,431 --> 00:11:18,046
Her name was Heroin, el with her lover

249
00:11:18,046 --> 00:11:20,264
is at sea in a small boat,

250
00:11:21,056 --> 00:11:21,873
which pie

251
00:11:22,500 --> 00:11:25,639
the violent motion of the wind was carried

252
00:11:25,700 --> 00:11:28,100
a swift as an arrow out of a

253
00:11:28,100 --> 00:11:30,019
bell towards the north pole.

254
00:11:30,833 --> 00:11:33,375
And then Cave offers this as to the

255
00:11:33,375 --> 00:11:36,257
boats peculiar trajectory into the inner world a

256
00:11:36,313 --> 00:11:39,887
course followed into rather than over the Polar

257
00:11:39,887 --> 00:11:40,046
region.

258
00:11:40,856 --> 00:11:43,084
Because the poles of the other world joining

259
00:11:43,084 --> 00:11:44,198
to the poles of this.

260
00:11:44,915 --> 00:11:47,461
If anyone arrives to honor these poles,

261
00:11:48,033 --> 00:11:49,804
he is either forced to return

262
00:11:50,257 --> 00:11:52,481
or to enter another world.

263
00:11:54,070 --> 00:11:56,000
So that is a doughnut

264
00:11:56,389 --> 00:11:58,484
shaped earth war, this

265
00:11:59,101 --> 00:12:02,531
idea of the polar regions as immense sink

266
00:12:02,531 --> 00:12:05,003
holes forming a sort of tube within the

267
00:12:05,003 --> 00:12:06,254
middle of the globe

268
00:12:06,691 --> 00:12:09,864
will appear again in later stories and books

269
00:12:09,864 --> 00:12:11,609
of speculative science.

270
00:12:13,607 --> 00:12:16,942
The inhabitants of this interior world are just

271
00:12:16,942 --> 00:12:20,935
as strangely imagined, the first encountered are seen

272
00:12:21,403 --> 00:12:22,676
walking upon the ice,

273
00:12:23,630 --> 00:12:26,176
strange creatures in shaped like bears.

274
00:12:26,812 --> 00:12:28,738
Only they were upright his men.

275
00:12:30,014 --> 00:12:33,146
And are soon heard to speak a strange

276
00:12:33,284 --> 00:12:36,315
language, which art narrator eventually learns allowing her

277
00:12:36,315 --> 00:12:37,932
to better describe a kingdom

278
00:12:38,643 --> 00:12:41,834
populated not only by bear men, but also

279
00:12:41,994 --> 00:12:42,393
Say,

280
00:12:42,871 --> 00:12:45,126
human like apes and Foxes

281
00:12:45,439 --> 00:12:46,495
parents, jack,

282
00:12:46,948 --> 00:12:47,345
spiders,

283
00:12:47,981 --> 00:12:50,126
l, fish and worms.

284
00:12:51,397 --> 00:12:54,522
Our narrator is mistaken for visiting Goddess and

285
00:12:54,522 --> 00:12:57,080
made emperor of this blazing world.

286
00:12:57,959 --> 00:12:58,459
Each

287
00:12:58,838 --> 00:13:01,315
species over whom she rules this associated with

288
00:13:01,315 --> 00:13:01,975
a different

289
00:13:02,688 --> 00:13:05,660
profession or area of learning, allowing cave to

290
00:13:05,718 --> 00:13:07,175
use them to sat

291
00:13:07,951 --> 00:13:10,981
politicians, doctors, j and philosophers and so on,

292
00:13:11,791 --> 00:13:14,985
along the way, offering her own theories and

293
00:13:15,119 --> 00:13:18,129
insights on the science and society of our

294
00:13:18,129 --> 00:13:19,017
world above.

295
00:13:22,269 --> 00:13:24,888
Over the next couple centuries, there appeared least

296
00:13:24,888 --> 00:13:26,974
a half dozen novels describing

297
00:13:27,284 --> 00:13:29,599
travels into an interior world.

298
00:13:30,317 --> 00:13:32,892
Typically, these imagine the sub

299
00:13:33,509 --> 00:13:34,328
civilization as

300
00:13:34,786 --> 00:13:35,265
utopia.

301
00:13:35,758 --> 00:13:38,542
Strategically highlighting the faults and fo of our

302
00:13:38,542 --> 00:13:38,860
own.

303
00:13:39,735 --> 00:13:43,961
In 17 41, the Danish Norwegian writer, Ludwig

304
00:13:44,120 --> 00:13:48,321
H, Neil K underground travels, described adventures on

305
00:13:48,321 --> 00:13:51,836
an interior globe lit by a second sun.

306
00:13:53,113 --> 00:13:56,407
Clean visits various lands within and encounters

307
00:13:57,264 --> 00:14:00,308
philosophically inclined tree men is well as monkey

308
00:14:00,387 --> 00:14:03,486
Zig 2 fashion wig similar to his own,

309
00:14:04,360 --> 00:14:07,079
and then aided by gunpowder, which is unknown

310
00:14:07,079 --> 00:14:10,035
in his world K establishes himself as a

311
00:14:10,035 --> 00:14:10,355
king,

312
00:14:11,074 --> 00:14:13,471
but is driven back the surface when his

313
00:14:13,471 --> 00:14:14,610
rule becomes tyra.

314
00:14:17,159 --> 00:14:19,712
While more famous for his memoir documenting his

315
00:14:19,792 --> 00:14:21,967
Am exploits, Ja casa,

316
00:14:22,840 --> 00:14:27,160
also wrote a 5 volume sub fantasy in

317
00:14:27,160 --> 00:14:29,019
17 88 called

318
00:14:29,480 --> 00:14:29,980
casa.

319
00:14:31,174 --> 00:14:34,131
It follows a brother and sister whose ship

320
00:14:34,131 --> 00:14:36,608
is sucked into a mae in the North

321
00:14:36,768 --> 00:14:37,008
Sea,

322
00:14:37,647 --> 00:14:39,700
then deposited in a world

323
00:14:40,217 --> 00:14:40,957
by her

324
00:14:41,493 --> 00:14:41,891
dwarves,

325
00:14:42,449 --> 00:14:44,782
who sustained themselves by

326
00:14:45,159 --> 00:14:46,456
mutual breastfeeding.

327
00:14:47,803 --> 00:14:50,664
And if that weren't bad enough, the brother

328
00:14:50,664 --> 00:14:52,890
and sister who remained their 81 years and

329
00:14:52,890 --> 00:14:54,956
up having children together.

330
00:14:57,118 --> 00:14:57,618
In

331
00:14:58,075 --> 00:15:00,966
18 eighties novel M prophecy,

332
00:15:01,821 --> 00:15:04,531
American feminist writer, Mary Bradley Lane,

333
00:15:05,261 --> 00:15:08,458
described world entered through an arctic portal 1

334
00:15:08,592 --> 00:15:09,092
populated

335
00:15:09,703 --> 00:15:11,131
exclusively by women.

336
00:15:12,178 --> 00:15:15,284
The progressive ideal of the fantasy is. However,

337
00:15:15,523 --> 00:15:18,629
marred by Lane description of their artificial manner

338
00:15:18,629 --> 00:15:23,281
of appropriation, which involves the unique elimination of

339
00:15:23,417 --> 00:15:26,118
traits belonging into the darker races.

340
00:15:29,472 --> 00:15:32,655
In 18 92, Irish American writer, William r

341
00:15:32,655 --> 00:15:35,042
bradshaw in his... The goddess of at Va

342

barr,

343
00:15:35,854 --> 00:15:38,328
imagine a world also entered through the arctic.

344
00:15:38,966 --> 00:15:41,201
The Goddess ruling in this kingdom with whom

345
00:15:41,201 --> 00:15:44,166
the protagonist pi falls in love is en

346
00:15:44,166 --> 00:15:46,254
ent in a central pant.

347
00:15:46,707 --> 00:15:49,724
Sculpture out of the hill of green marble.

348
00:15:50,359 --> 00:15:52,765
And command troops fine men

349
00:15:53,154 --> 00:15:54,293
wearing metal wings

350
00:15:55,150 --> 00:15:57,305
moved by some powerful horse,

351
00:15:58,183 --> 00:15:58,683
probably

352
00:15:59,140 --> 00:16:03,245
electricity. Others ride on immense began machines resembling

353
00:16:03,303 --> 00:16:06,274
ostrich and there is also something

354
00:16:06,650 --> 00:16:08,505
called the... Sacred

355
00:16:08,882 --> 00:16:09,201
locomotive.

356
00:16:12,639 --> 00:16:15,982
The protagonist affair with a goddess leads to

357
00:16:15,982 --> 00:16:18,704
civil war in which are explorer from our

358
00:16:18,704 --> 00:16:19,820
world is victorious.

359
00:16:20,298 --> 00:16:21,732
Yet not only winds of Throne of,

360
00:16:22,848 --> 00:16:26,194
but establishes highly successful trade relations between the

361
00:16:26,194 --> 00:16:26,832
2 worlds.

362
00:16:27,484 --> 00:16:28,280
To win win.

363
00:16:32,101 --> 00:16:34,966
Perhaps the strangest inner fantasy of the era,

364
00:16:35,620 --> 00:16:39,860
published by an American writer, John Yuri Lloyd

365
00:16:39,860 --> 00:16:41,139
in 18 95,

366
00:16:41,620 --> 00:16:43,434
is the novel called

367
00:16:44,113 --> 00:16:44,613
Ed

368
00:16:45,149 --> 00:16:47,383
or at the end of the earth, the

369
00:16:47,383 --> 00:16:50,892
strange history of a mysterious being and the

370
00:16:50,892 --> 00:16:52,966
account of a remarkable journey.

371
00:16:55,602 --> 00:16:57,506
The book strange is not simply a matter

372
00:16:57,506 --> 00:17:01,077
of the fantastic adventures described, but in how

373
00:17:01,077 --> 00:17:04,980
its construct did in how Lloyd inject philosophical

374
00:17:04,980 --> 00:17:06,115
and pseudo scientific

375
00:17:06,726 --> 00:17:08,947
essays into his adventure tale.

376
00:17:10,455 --> 00:17:13,013
Did Aside from his career as a novel,

377
00:17:13,411 --> 00:17:16,613
Lloyd worked as a pharmacist becoming a leading

378
00:17:16,828 --> 00:17:17,941
advocate of what was called.

379
00:17:18,670 --> 00:17:19,623
Ec medicine.

380
00:17:20,258 --> 00:17:20,758
His

381
00:17:21,131 --> 00:17:24,091
outstanding expertise in herbal and eth bot

382
00:17:24,464 --> 00:17:27,028
at 1 point resulted in a commission by

383
00:17:27,028 --> 00:17:30,463
the smithsonian to conduct a study of licorice

384
00:17:30,463 --> 00:17:31,981
in the ottoman empire.

385
00:17:33,271 --> 00:17:35,896
Emboldened by his successes in these fields,

386
00:17:36,532 --> 00:17:38,759
Lloyd went a bit off leash in at

387
00:17:38,998 --> 00:17:42,828
Do, widely speculating in these long disc discourse

388
00:17:42,828 --> 00:17:46,504
passages on geo physical matters on the origins

389
00:17:46,639 --> 00:17:48,068
of volcanoes, geyser,

390
00:17:48,544 --> 00:17:50,505
gravity, the possibility of

391
00:17:51,024 --> 00:17:51,903
interior sees,

392
00:17:52,542 --> 00:17:55,600
all these physical realities, which were simultaneously

393
00:17:56,458 --> 00:17:57,518
spiritual to his

394
00:17:57,977 --> 00:18:01,261
understanding. And saul illustrated with charts and mechanical

395
00:18:01,261 --> 00:18:01,761
drawings

396
00:18:02,136 --> 00:18:04,306
alongside more traditional figure of art that

397
00:18:04,919 --> 00:18:08,281
anticipates the lure visions of the later pulp

398
00:18:08,656 --> 00:18:08,894
illustrations.

399
00:18:10,657 --> 00:18:13,461
The tale is also presented with 3 narrative

400
00:18:13,596 --> 00:18:13,994
levels.

401
00:18:14,788 --> 00:18:17,036
Lloyd is supposed to only be the editor

402
00:18:17,171 --> 00:18:19,498
of a manuscript left by

403
00:18:19,809 --> 00:18:20,288
1

404
00:18:21,326 --> 00:18:21,725
Dr,

405
00:18:22,364 --> 00:18:22,864
who

406
00:18:23,401 --> 00:18:24,221
records his

407
00:18:24,599 --> 00:18:27,712
conversations with a third person, a mysterious visitor

408
00:18:27,712 --> 00:18:29,724
who is the 1 who relates the actual

409
00:18:29,724 --> 00:18:31,422
tail of sub draining

410
00:18:31,801 --> 00:18:31,961
adventure.

411
00:18:32,760 --> 00:18:35,818
And then jury as a mouthpiece for Lloyd

412
00:18:35,877 --> 00:18:36,377
scientific

413
00:18:36,836 --> 00:18:40,609
speculations interrupts the visitors tale with sort of

414
00:18:40,609 --> 00:18:41,109
tangent

415
00:18:41,490 --> 00:18:42,210
I've described.

416
00:18:43,009 --> 00:18:46,464
And to make things even stranger, the Mysterious,

417
00:18:46,704 --> 00:18:49,820
this who is very mysterious is only identified

418
00:18:49,820 --> 00:18:50,140
as...

419
00:18:50,779 --> 00:18:52,238
I and the man

420
00:18:52,856 --> 00:18:56,216
who did it. In this story within the

421
00:18:56,216 --> 00:18:58,543
story. It's the stranger interest in A

422
00:18:59,075 --> 00:19:00,663
that prompts to visit from a group of

423
00:19:00,663 --> 00:19:03,307
hood members from a secret society

424
00:19:04,093 --> 00:19:06,023
who to punish I

425
00:19:06,557 --> 00:19:07,693
reach of confidence,

426
00:19:08,306 --> 00:19:10,157
sends him to a so

427
00:19:10,611 --> 00:19:10,929
underground.

428
00:19:12,058 --> 00:19:14,213
They bring him to a Cave, Kentucky and

429
00:19:14,213 --> 00:19:16,069
at the entrance turned over

430
00:19:16,527 --> 00:19:19,101
to another very strange figure

431
00:19:20,855 --> 00:19:22,934
He was less than 5 feet in height.

432
00:19:23,335 --> 00:19:25,654
His arms and legs were bare and his

433
00:19:25,654 --> 00:19:27,734
skin, the color of light blue padding.

434
00:19:28,866 --> 00:19:29,582
In the sunlight.

435
00:19:30,457 --> 00:19:33,241
His bull had extended in an unbroken plane

436
00:19:33,241 --> 00:19:34,695
from crowned cheekbone,

437
00:19:35,482 --> 00:19:38,181
and the chu tip of an abort nose

438
00:19:38,181 --> 00:19:38,974
without nostrils,

439
00:19:39,530 --> 00:19:41,832
formed a short projection near the center of

440
00:19:41,832 --> 00:19:42,546
the level witch.

441
00:19:43,118 --> 00:19:44,973
Which represented continents.

442
00:19:45,908 --> 00:19:48,002
There was no sem of an eye

443
00:19:48,378 --> 00:19:49,994
for there were no sockets.

444
00:19:53,424 --> 00:19:56,784
Despite his blindness, this humanoid way sort of

445
00:19:56,784 --> 00:20:00,017
cave fish is able to guide I am

446
00:20:00,311 --> 00:20:03,592
through a series of cavern passages filled with

447
00:20:03,886 --> 00:20:05,896
giant crystals and mushrooms.

448
00:20:06,684 --> 00:20:07,344
He also

449
00:20:07,723 --> 00:20:10,599
guides a boat along a sub mediterranean river,

450
00:20:10,759 --> 00:20:11,738
a trip with

451
00:20:12,117 --> 00:20:13,975
stops for various knowledge

452
00:20:14,369 --> 00:20:17,666
viewing experiences, for instance, 1 chapter

453
00:20:18,045 --> 00:20:18,444
entitled.

454
00:20:19,163 --> 00:20:21,240
How to see your own brain?

455
00:20:22,293 --> 00:20:24,519
I am is educated in this process,

456
00:20:24,917 --> 00:20:28,733
1 which involves ruling one's eyes upward, while,

457
00:20:30,006 --> 00:20:31,437
concentrating very intently.

458
00:20:32,089 --> 00:20:35,699
It somehow works and his teacher suggests that

459
00:20:36,156 --> 00:20:38,151
perfection of this technique 1 day.

460
00:20:38,868 --> 00:20:41,362
May it enable men to picture the figures

461
00:20:41,421 --> 00:20:41,660
engraved.

462
00:20:42,232 --> 00:20:43,686
On the convolution

463
00:20:44,060 --> 00:20:46,048
and at last to read the thoughts that

464
00:20:46,048 --> 00:20:48,273
are grave within the brains of others.

465
00:20:49,960 --> 00:20:52,539
And then there's a rather dante

466
00:20:53,160 --> 00:20:53,660
tableau,

467
00:20:54,680 --> 00:20:55,960
presenting something called...

468
00:20:56,440 --> 00:20:59,647
The drunk goods then. Where I am sees

469
00:20:59,647 --> 00:21:01,794
that not only drunk are con confined him

470
00:21:01,794 --> 00:21:03,566
sort of prison men,

471
00:21:03,940 --> 00:21:07,597
but also those who over indulge any appetite,

472
00:21:08,329 --> 00:21:11,445
1 inmate who apparently over ind his love

473
00:21:11,445 --> 00:21:12,505
of olfactory

474
00:21:12,964 --> 00:21:16,559
sensation presents himself with... A no, so not.

475
00:21:17,131 --> 00:21:19,117
That the pun figure to which it was

476
00:21:19,117 --> 00:21:21,341
attached was forced to walk with his nose,

477
00:21:21,897 --> 00:21:24,463
high in the air to prevent the P

478
00:21:24,678 --> 00:21:25,710
rubbing on the floor.

479
00:21:26,839 --> 00:21:29,391
For what it's worth at journeys end, they

480
00:21:29,391 --> 00:21:32,502
encounter after dieting, not a goddess of love,

481
00:21:32,741 --> 00:21:34,757
but I am guardian

482
00:21:35,134 --> 00:21:35,931
angel turns out.

483
00:21:36,664 --> 00:21:38,044
Whose name reversed

484
00:21:38,502 --> 00:21:39,802
happens to spell

485
00:21:40,341 --> 00:21:41,140
and a door book.

486
00:21:42,418 --> 00:21:44,256
It's a very strange book.

487
00:21:48,886 --> 00:21:49,838
Around the same time,

488
00:21:50,473 --> 00:21:54,227
another American healer an advocate of ec medicine

489
00:21:54,934 --> 00:21:57,646
was building a commune in Florida based around

490
00:21:57,646 --> 00:22:01,497
his spiritual notions and a hollow earth cosmology.

491
00:22:03,559 --> 00:22:06,184
Cyrus tee, got a slow start on the

492
00:22:06,184 --> 00:22:06,820
cult business.

493
00:22:07,457 --> 00:22:09,048
It took 25

494
00:22:09,048 --> 00:22:12,718
years after his initial 69 vision for this

495
00:22:12,718 --> 00:22:14,862
healer from upstate New York to start building

496
00:22:14,862 --> 00:22:16,848
his new Jerusalem in Florida.

497
00:22:17,801 --> 00:22:19,707
20 years to get any real traction at

498
00:22:19,707 --> 00:22:19,866
all.

499
00:22:21,074 --> 00:22:22,982
That turn of good fortune Came when he

500
00:22:22,982 --> 00:22:23,777
spoke at the National

501
00:22:24,493 --> 00:22:26,663
Association of mental science in Chicago

502
00:22:27,038 --> 00:22:29,502
and allegedly healed a woman unable to walk.

503
00:22:30,553 --> 00:22:33,026
At that point, he'd taken the name Par.

504
00:22:33,664 --> 00:22:35,339
The hebrew rev version of his own name

505
00:22:35,339 --> 00:22:37,891
cyrus, and that the name comes from the

506
00:22:37,891 --> 00:22:40,539
old person word for son was by no

507
00:22:40,539 --> 00:22:41,977
means lost on ted.

508
00:22:44,934 --> 00:22:47,512
The lean years before Became the astronomical

509
00:22:47,971 --> 00:22:48,850
center of the universe,

510
00:22:49,344 --> 00:22:51,102
and involved his wife leaving him with their

511
00:22:51,102 --> 00:22:53,419
son when he first began to attract members,

512
00:22:54,377 --> 00:22:55,655
exclusively female members.

513
00:22:57,506 --> 00:23:00,058
Citizens of Uti were suspicious and there was

514
00:23:00,058 --> 00:23:02,531
a lawsuit by the children of a Syracuse

515
00:23:02,531 --> 00:23:06,061
woman who'd donated their inheritance to this second

516
00:23:06,374 --> 00:23:06,692
priced.

517
00:23:07,964 --> 00:23:10,349
After the success of the mental science convention,

518
00:23:10,906 --> 00:23:13,450
he moved his newly 1 followers to a

519
00:23:13,450 --> 00:23:16,566
posh mansion in Chicago Washington Heights neighborhood,

520
00:23:17,362 --> 00:23:20,943
eventually establishing additional study groups in Baltimore, Portland

521
00:23:20,943 --> 00:23:23,171
in San Francisco, a couple of towns in

522
00:23:23,569 --> 00:23:24,842
Massachusetts and elsewhere.

523
00:23:26,212 --> 00:23:29,162
So what were they study? What were his

524
00:23:29,162 --> 00:23:32,272
teaching? Well, Of course, the earth was hollow,

525
00:23:32,512 --> 00:23:35,078
that's a given. And instead of living on

526
00:23:35,078 --> 00:23:35,976
the convex

527
00:23:36,431 --> 00:23:39,376
exterior as commonly presumed, we actually live on

528
00:23:39,376 --> 00:23:42,877
the con cave interior and look inward to

529
00:23:42,877 --> 00:23:43,912
a central sun.

530
00:23:45,042 --> 00:23:47,614
This outer sphere was 1 of 17,

531
00:23:48,070 --> 00:23:49,505
a number of later reduced.

532
00:23:50,142 --> 00:23:52,867
And between the spheres were layers of tin

533
00:23:52,867 --> 00:23:55,599
iron, zinc and copper, the rotation of which

534
00:23:55,817 --> 00:23:59,484
created an electric charge powering that sun, which

535
00:23:59,484 --> 00:24:00,782
works as a

536
00:24:01,254 --> 00:24:02,692
great volta pile.

537
00:24:03,971 --> 00:24:07,666
He'd claimed these insights came through his scientific

538
00:24:08,205 --> 00:24:11,007
research of a sword to field that he

539
00:24:11,007 --> 00:24:11,507
dubbed

540
00:24:12,200 --> 00:24:13,336
electro a.

541
00:24:16,115 --> 00:24:16,615
Unsurprisingly,

542
00:24:17,075 --> 00:24:19,575
this also involved visionary experiences.

543
00:24:20,674 --> 00:24:22,055
According to T own

544
00:24:22,595 --> 00:24:23,095
Gibberish

545
00:24:23,394 --> 00:24:25,289
account later published in the group's periodic,

546
00:24:25,728 --> 00:24:27,084
the flaming sword.

547
00:24:27,722 --> 00:24:30,832
This began 1 October night in 18 69,

548
00:24:31,390 --> 00:24:33,006
while he was at work in his laboratory,

549
00:24:33,304 --> 00:24:36,819
so the story goes near midnight, and the

550
00:24:36,819 --> 00:24:39,305
would be A noted a pre

551
00:24:39,679 --> 00:24:41,688
in 1 of his re reports

552
00:24:43,274 --> 00:24:44,332
My new molecules

553
00:24:44,709 --> 00:24:46,224
of gold and dust.

554
00:24:46,942 --> 00:24:48,558
I had succeeded in transforming

555
00:24:48,935 --> 00:24:50,312
matter of 1 kind

556
00:24:50,783 --> 00:24:52,928
to a motto of another kind.

557
00:24:54,200 --> 00:24:57,878
The discovery sent to quite a state, a

558
00:24:58,425 --> 00:24:59,561
gently oscillating

559
00:24:59,934 --> 00:25:01,863
ocean of magnetic and

560
00:25:02,236 --> 00:25:02,736
spiritual

561
00:25:03,348 --> 00:25:03,507
ecstasy.

562
00:25:04,221 --> 00:25:06,762
During which he hears the voice telling him,

563
00:25:07,414 --> 00:25:11,490
He is God inca or God's masculine aspect,

564
00:25:11,889 --> 00:25:14,846
anyway, the other half, the divine mother then

565
00:25:14,846 --> 00:25:17,577
appears to him. Gradually at first as...

566
00:25:18,536 --> 00:25:19,814

center,

569
00:25:23,824 --> 00:25:27,097
then taking shape a beautiful face defined,

570
00:25:28,134 --> 00:25:32,126
blonde tres and a Gold and purple colored

571
00:25:32,126 --> 00:25:32,285
room.

572
00:25:32,937 --> 00:25:34,309
Her feet rested

573
00:25:34,681 --> 00:25:36,346
upon a sail rec crescent.

574
00:25:37,139 --> 00:25:39,914
In her hand and resting upon this crescent.

575
00:25:40,564 --> 00:25:41,383
Was mercury,

00:25:42,079 --> 00:25:42,579

577
00:25:44,552 --> 00:25:47,344
God's. Feminine aspect assumes an important role in

578
00:25:47,503 --> 00:25:49,120
Tea religion or cor

579
00:25:49,577 --> 00:25:51,109
get it a Christianity.

580
00:25:52,390 --> 00:25:54,569
Fact that's often cited to explain the prep

581
00:25:54,710 --> 00:25:56,390
of women among his following,

582
00:25:57,269 --> 00:26:00,643
husbands or single men might hesitate to join

583
00:26:00,643 --> 00:26:04,418
as ce was strongly encouraged and was mandatory

584
00:26:04,557 --> 00:26:06,155
within the group's upper echelon.

585
00:26:10,557 --> 00:26:12,152
In 18 94,

586
00:26:12,391 --> 00:26:15,283
T was visited by a mystical inclined German

587
00:26:15,501 --> 00:26:17,433
immigrant Gust Dom Ko,

588
00:26:17,992 --> 00:26:20,730
who 10 years earlier had built a solitary

589
00:26:21,269 --> 00:26:21,769
retreat

590
00:26:22,148 --> 00:26:24,865
on Est sterile island near Fort Myers.

591
00:26:25,599 --> 00:26:27,917
For nearly 10 years, he and his family

592
00:26:27,917 --> 00:26:29,675
have been waiting there for the coming of

593
00:26:29,675 --> 00:26:32,951
the Messiah who Don Ko learned after stumbling

594
00:26:32,951 --> 00:26:34,410
on a corruption pamphlet

595
00:26:34,882 --> 00:26:37,105
happened to be Cyrus tee.

596
00:26:38,296 --> 00:26:41,154
The German immigrant was at first so impressed

597
00:26:41,154 --> 00:26:44,107
upon meeting Crash that he donated his house

598
00:26:44,107 --> 00:26:47,681
and the surrounding 320 acres to the cause.

599
00:26:49,270 --> 00:26:51,672
Then a few years, he'd scattered flock had

600
00:26:51,672 --> 00:26:54,463
all relocated to Ast to build what they

601
00:26:54,463 --> 00:26:56,558
called the corruption unity.

602
00:26:57,335 --> 00:27:00,206
A settlement of log cabins and a more

603
00:27:00,206 --> 00:27:03,038
refined house call the planetary court

604
00:27:03,417 --> 00:27:06,134
from which council of women known as the

605
00:27:06,134 --> 00:27:08,632
7 planetary sisters rule

606
00:27:09,091 --> 00:27:11,819
with crush natural as their central sun.

607
00:27:13,096 --> 00:27:15,807
As each arriving member turned over their savings,

608
00:27:16,445 --> 00:27:19,716
roads were cut and more buildings erected, power

609
00:27:19,716 --> 00:27:20,769
plant a bakery,

610
00:27:21,168 --> 00:27:24,224
a general store print shop and a world

611
00:27:24,364 --> 00:27:27,080
college of life in which was displayed a

612
00:27:27,080 --> 00:27:29,884
large model globe or globes 1 within the

613
00:27:29,884 --> 00:27:30,044
other.

614
00:27:31,398 --> 00:27:33,310
On the road to the unity,

615
00:27:33,708 --> 00:27:35,164
an attention getting billboard

616
00:27:35,541 --> 00:27:36,837
illustrated with these globes

617
00:27:37,387 --> 00:27:38,896
declared in bold caps.

618
00:27:40,009 --> 00:27:40,826
We live

619
00:27:41,200 --> 00:27:42,733
on the inside

620
00:27:44,633 --> 00:27:47,205
Eventually, the commune house 250

621
00:27:47,343 --> 00:27:50,531
corrections with particularly robust growth between 19 o

622
00:27:50,531 --> 00:27:53,916
3 and 19 o 8. The year t

623
00:27:54,133 --> 00:27:54,451
died.

624
00:27:55,726 --> 00:27:57,956
Oh, it's never good when a messiah dies,

625
00:27:58,116 --> 00:28:00,744
but T had prepared his followers risk with

626
00:28:00,744 --> 00:28:01,643
teachings about

627
00:28:02,194 --> 00:28:04,926
a different kind of passing,

628
00:28:05,543 --> 00:28:07,616
a theo crisis he called it a word

629
00:28:07,616 --> 00:28:10,248
of his own coin skin, which he described

630
00:28:10,248 --> 00:28:10,748
as

631
00:28:11,936 --> 00:28:12,436
interrupt

632
00:28:12,972 --> 00:28:13,472
dissolution

633
00:28:13,928 --> 00:28:15,702
without decay of the flesh

634
00:28:16,158 --> 00:28:18,012
of a physical body by

635
00:28:18,547 --> 00:28:19,047
electromagnetic

636
00:28:19,583 --> 00:28:20,083
combustion

637
00:28:21,113 --> 00:28:23,986
Meaning what? Well, who knows, but it seemed

638
00:28:23,986 --> 00:28:24,885
as if something

639
00:28:25,422 --> 00:28:25,922
something

640
00:28:26,539 --> 00:28:28,509
unexpected might happen. So

641
00:28:29,187 --> 00:28:31,420
Despite the absence of all traditional signs of

642
00:28:31,420 --> 00:28:33,652
life, the body was not buried.

643
00:28:35,326 --> 00:28:37,970
Kept vigil for nearly a week waiting for

644
00:28:37,970 --> 00:28:39,901
the rejuvenate leader to

645
00:28:40,276 --> 00:28:42,922
s his skin like a snake and rise

646
00:28:43,137 --> 00:28:43,376
anew.

647
00:28:44,330 --> 00:28:46,977
And as this softening process promised to be

648
00:28:46,977 --> 00:28:49,155
messy the corpse was wisely

649
00:28:49,534 --> 00:28:51,132
placed in a cloth foot tub.

650
00:28:53,302 --> 00:28:56,003
On a 20 24 to public television broadcast,

651
00:28:56,241 --> 00:28:57,194
Bill Grace,

652
00:28:57,830 --> 00:28:59,759
a descendant of the corrections

653
00:29:00,133 --> 00:29:02,357
relayed to family story of those days.

654
00:29:04,047 --> 00:29:06,042
When he died, my grandmother told me that

655
00:29:06,042 --> 00:29:08,436
the they gathered the children up and brought

656
00:29:08,436 --> 00:29:10,590
them into the room where the body was,

657
00:29:11,164 --> 00:29:12,839
and the body was already molding,

658
00:29:13,397 --> 00:29:14,913
and they told the children that that was

659
00:29:14,913 --> 00:29:17,704
the new life coming out and t that

660
00:29:17,704 --> 00:29:19,618
he would soon be resurrected, which, of course,

661
00:29:19,778 --> 00:29:20,336
he wasn't.

662
00:29:23,456 --> 00:29:26,559
No. He wasn't. The coroner was eventually called

663
00:29:26,559 --> 00:29:27,833
and tee berry.

664
00:29:28,882 --> 00:29:32,699
Slow decline began and in 19 61 when

665
00:29:32,699 --> 00:29:34,369
the last member passed, the

666
00:29:34,767 --> 00:29:36,778
Corruption unity property became

667
00:29:37,167 --> 00:29:38,461
Corruption state Park

668
00:29:38,834 --> 00:29:40,819
with many of the old buildings and artifacts,

669
00:29:41,216 --> 00:29:43,677
including the model globe within a globe still

670
00:29:43,677 --> 00:29:44,177
on

671
00:29:44,550 --> 00:29:44,788
display.

672
00:29:46,233 --> 00:29:46,733
Paranormal,

673
00:29:47,266 --> 00:29:49,594
quite naturally, consider the property

674
00:29:50,047 --> 00:29:50,444
haunted.

675
00:29:55,227 --> 00:29:58,162
We've been talking about the hollow Earth as

676
00:29:58,162 --> 00:30:01,359
imagined by fiction writers and cult leading fantasies.

677
00:30:02,302 --> 00:30:04,600
But now I want to step backward in

678
00:30:04,600 --> 00:30:07,216
time a bit to provide a more hard

679
00:30:07,216 --> 00:30:11,039
headed scientific approach to proving the earth hollow.

680
00:30:11,834 --> 00:30:13,821
This was the aspiration at least of John

681
00:30:14,060 --> 00:30:15,649
Cl Sims junior,

682
00:30:16,126 --> 00:30:18,295
the man who, for at least a century

683
00:30:18,511 --> 00:30:21,002
became synonymous with the concept so much so

684
00:30:21,002 --> 00:30:21,902
that the phrase

685
00:30:22,281 --> 00:30:22,781
Sims

686
00:30:23,640 --> 00:30:26,596
became a common tongue in cheek expression used

687
00:30:26,596 --> 00:30:29,249
us we might today use v. That is?

688
00:30:29,808 --> 00:30:31,087
I can't find my watch.

689
00:30:31,806 --> 00:30:34,044
Where could it be? Oh, must have gone

690
00:30:34,044 --> 00:30:37,560
down a Sims hole and unhelpful victoria might

691
00:30:37,560 --> 00:30:37,720
answer.

692
00:30:39,573 --> 00:30:41,011
Sims had been a captain in the War

693
00:30:41,011 --> 00:30:43,808
of 18 12 after which she opened a

694
00:30:43,808 --> 00:30:45,965
trading post on the frontier near Saint Louis

695
00:30:46,205 --> 00:30:46,445
Missouri.

696
00:30:47,177 --> 00:30:50,913
Business wasn't particularly good, so he began brood

697
00:30:50,913 --> 00:30:53,376
on his own eccentric ideas.

698
00:30:54,663 --> 00:30:57,445
In 18 18, he made his thoughts public

699
00:30:57,445 --> 00:30:58,423
in a dramatic

700
00:30:58,876 --> 00:31:01,738
proclamation known as circular number 1.

701
00:31:02,548 --> 00:31:04,855
I declare the earth is hollow,

702
00:31:05,650 --> 00:31:06,923
and habitable within,

703
00:31:07,718 --> 00:31:10,843
containing a number of solid concentric spheres

704
00:31:11,394 --> 00:31:12,595
1 within the other,

705
00:31:13,154 --> 00:31:14,835
and that it is open at the polls,

706
00:31:15,315 --> 00:31:17,075
12 or 16 degrees.

707
00:31:17,794 --> 00:31:20,225
Later, he would simple this to a single

708
00:31:20,362 --> 00:31:20,998
internal sphere,

709
00:31:22,113 --> 00:31:22,749
he goes on.

710
00:31:23,625 --> 00:31:26,092
I pledge my life in support of this

711
00:31:26,092 --> 00:31:26,411
truth,

712
00:31:26,968 --> 00:31:28,615
and I'm ready to explore the hollow

713
00:31:29,292 --> 00:31:32,000
if the world will support and aid me

714
00:31:32,000 --> 00:31:33,195
in the undertaking.

715
00:31:34,071 --> 00:31:36,659
I have ready for the press. A treat

716
00:31:36,958 --> 00:31:38,556
on the principles of matter,

717
00:31:39,115 --> 00:31:42,092
wherein an I show proofs of the above

718
00:31:42,311 --> 00:31:42,551
positions,

719
00:31:43,270 --> 00:31:44,961
account for various phenomena.

720
00:31:46,078 --> 00:31:48,174
I ask 100

721
00:31:48,393 --> 00:31:49,611
brave companions

722
00:31:50,148 --> 00:31:53,032
well equipped to start from Siberia in the

723
00:31:53,032 --> 00:31:53,668
fall season,

724
00:31:54,225 --> 00:31:56,611
with reindeer in slaves on the ice of

725
00:31:56,611 --> 00:31:57,804
the frozen sea.

726
00:31:58,774 --> 00:32:01,168
I believe we will find warm and rich

727
00:32:01,168 --> 00:32:01,487
land,

728
00:32:02,205 --> 00:32:05,636
stocked with thrifty vegetables and animals, if not

729
00:32:05,636 --> 00:32:05,876
men.

730
00:32:06,767 --> 00:32:09,472
We will return in the succeeding spring.

731
00:32:11,778 --> 00:32:14,983
Anticipating public response, Sims attached to his circular

732
00:32:15,454 --> 00:32:18,352
a certificate attest to his sanity.

733
00:32:19,370 --> 00:32:21,768
I won't go into the calculation. So would

734
00:32:21,768 --> 00:32:24,165
she proved the earth hollow, but suffice it

735
00:32:24,165 --> 00:32:26,835
to say he guarded the polar openings

736
00:32:27,372 --> 00:32:30,105
as immense. Large enough so that the gradual

737
00:32:30,243 --> 00:32:32,716
turn inward would not be noticed by those

738
00:32:32,716 --> 00:32:35,521
saline toward the non exist and polls.

739
00:32:37,193 --> 00:32:40,457
Despite his proposal being widely mocked, Sims sold

740
00:32:40,457 --> 00:32:43,059
his trading post, moved to Kentucky and made

741
00:32:43,259 --> 00:32:46,290
have and lecturing on his hollow earth theory

742
00:32:46,290 --> 00:32:47,406
is full time job.

743
00:32:48,204 --> 00:32:50,757
While his were said to be dis disoriented,

744
00:32:51,155 --> 00:32:54,144
dry and poorly delivered there, were listeners,

745
00:32:55,641 --> 00:32:58,437
and surely attended us for the novelty, but

746
00:32:58,437 --> 00:33:02,130
many freedom loving souls on country's Western Frontier

747
00:33:02,130 --> 00:33:03,409
in Kentucky, Ohio,

748
00:33:04,049 --> 00:33:05,730
might have attended not so much for the

749
00:33:05,730 --> 00:33:08,869
truth of his assertion, but out of local

750
00:33:09,009 --> 00:33:11,336
pride, happy to see 1 of their own

751
00:33:11,336 --> 00:33:14,434
thumb his nose at East Coast expertise.

752
00:33:16,181 --> 00:33:19,359
Sims appealed to a Kentucky senator to bring

753
00:33:19,359 --> 00:33:22,336
his proposed La Congress in 18 23

754
00:33:22,710 --> 00:33:25,728
and representative Jt Johnson agreed,

755
00:33:26,522 --> 00:33:28,213
promoting the possibility of

756
00:33:28,684 --> 00:33:30,461
new discoveries in geography,

757
00:33:31,158 --> 00:33:33,633
natural history, geology and astronomy,

758
00:33:34,192 --> 00:33:37,066
but of opening new sources of trade and

759
00:33:37,066 --> 00:33:37,545
commerce.

760
00:33:38,039 --> 00:33:41,150
25 senators voted I, but the motion was

761
00:33:41,150 --> 00:33:41,469
table,

762
00:33:42,426 --> 00:33:44,739
eventually resurrected at 1 4 or another by

763
00:33:44,739 --> 00:33:46,015
representatives from South Carolina,

764
00:33:46,573 --> 00:33:47,825
Pennsylvania and Ohio but

765
00:33:48,582 --> 00:33:50,016
funding never came.

766
00:33:51,053 --> 00:33:53,603
Sims even applied for foreign support through the

767
00:33:53,762 --> 00:33:55,356
American ambassador to Russia,

768
00:33:56,089 --> 00:33:58,243
and count Robin off eager to see what

769
00:33:58,243 --> 00:34:00,397
his Siberian territories might yield,

770
00:34:01,036 --> 00:34:01,355
agree.

771
00:34:02,472 --> 00:34:05,912
But Sims sadly was unable to exploit this

772
00:34:05,912 --> 00:34:06,412
opportunity

773
00:34:06,947 --> 00:34:10,211
as he couldn't scratch together passage to S

774
00:34:10,211 --> 00:34:11,007
saint. Petersburg.

775
00:34:15,249 --> 00:34:18,462
In 18 19, there appeared a novel

776
00:34:18,934 --> 00:34:19,434
Sim,

777
00:34:20,049 --> 00:34:23,735
a voyage of discovery capitalizing in the public's

778
00:34:23,953 --> 00:34:25,387
fascination with Sims theory,

779
00:34:26,039 --> 00:34:28,693
The author is unknown, but given as

780
00:34:29,070 --> 00:34:30,505
Captain Adam Sea bourne,

781
00:34:31,303 --> 00:34:33,000
the mariner who supposedly

782
00:34:33,377 --> 00:34:34,653
undertook this voyage.

783
00:34:36,105 --> 00:34:38,425
Unlike our earlier stories, the story takes place

784
00:34:38,425 --> 00:34:40,505
in antarctica rather than the arctic,

785
00:34:41,065 --> 00:34:41,804
sea borne

786
00:34:42,105 --> 00:34:43,885
descriptions of the voyage 1

787
00:34:44,436 --> 00:34:46,981
undertaken initially to hunt seals is en enlightened

788
00:34:46,981 --> 00:34:48,197
by an

789
00:34:48,572 --> 00:34:51,514
unsuccessful mutiny the discovery of a mysterious giant

790
00:34:51,514 --> 00:34:55,269
skeleton and equally enormous footprints perceived as belonging

791
00:34:55,269 --> 00:34:56,543
to a bully mammoth,

792
00:34:57,736 --> 00:35:00,019
eventually unexpectedly warm temperatures to

793
00:35:00,619 --> 00:35:03,354
sees and unfamiliar stars above

794
00:35:04,211 --> 00:35:07,106
suggests that they are making that gradual turn

795
00:35:07,165 --> 00:35:09,320
inward and entering the polar opening.

796
00:35:10,693 --> 00:35:13,091
And land cited it is burdens.

797
00:35:14,210 --> 00:35:17,108
Like a beautiful and highly cultivated garden

798
00:35:17,567 --> 00:35:19,105
with meat, low buildings

799
00:35:19,498 --> 00:35:22,201
her throughout the scene. Of course, the inner

800
00:35:22,201 --> 00:35:25,936
world S is inhabited and its occupants send

801
00:35:25,936 --> 00:35:29,369
a surveillance mission and air vessel on before

802
00:35:29,369 --> 00:35:30,562
such things existed.

803
00:35:31,516 --> 00:35:33,504
I observed its appearance to be that of

804
00:35:33,504 --> 00:35:36,445
a ship's barge with an inflated wind sale

805
00:35:36,445 --> 00:35:37,717
in the form of a cylinder.

806
00:35:38,686 --> 00:35:39,186
Suspended

807
00:35:39,559 --> 00:35:40,059
longitudinal

808
00:35:40,511 --> 00:35:42,891
over it, leaving a space in which were

809
00:35:42,891 --> 00:35:43,209
people.

810
00:35:44,161 --> 00:35:45,844
It had a runner like a fish his

811
00:35:45,844 --> 00:35:48,885
tail and bins or oa, which appeared to

812
00:35:48,885 --> 00:35:50,724
be moved by the people within.

813
00:35:51,605 --> 00:35:54,737
The S when encountered face to face salute

814
00:35:54,737 --> 00:35:55,635
the crew members

815
00:35:56,170 --> 00:35:58,182
by pulling their noses

816
00:35:58,796 --> 00:36:01,875
and speak, Sea says. In a soft

817
00:36:02,393 --> 00:36:03,909
trill musical voice.

818
00:36:04,706 --> 00:36:07,896
His language was as unintelligible to me as

819
00:36:07,896 --> 00:36:09,651
the notes of a singing bird.

820
00:36:10,449 --> 00:36:13,255
They are of the children's stature with extremely

821
00:36:13,255 --> 00:36:14,711
white, almost translucent

822
00:36:15,248 --> 00:36:17,559
skin and white, clothing,

823
00:36:18,038 --> 00:36:21,342
spun as sea later learns by a certain

824
00:36:21,559 --> 00:36:25,141
oversized spider light creature, living in, mountain caves.

825
00:36:26,176 --> 00:36:28,507
The exquisite beauty of the women

826
00:36:28,819 --> 00:36:32,275
the graceful dignity of the men, the cha

827
00:36:32,494 --> 00:36:35,050
decor ends and sincere politeness of all.

828
00:36:35,864 --> 00:36:38,809
Harmed the mind and delighted the heart.

829
00:36:39,605 --> 00:36:43,586
The enjoyment of this refined people were intellectual

830
00:36:43,586 --> 00:36:44,558
and pure,

831
00:36:45,277 --> 00:36:46,416
not the deb debate

832
00:36:47,035 --> 00:36:49,692
gratification of animal passions and sensual

833
00:36:50,311 --> 00:36:50,630
appetite.

834
00:36:51,523 --> 00:36:54,395
For chapter after chapter the narrative piles on

835
00:36:54,395 --> 00:36:55,533
these sorts of

836
00:36:56,788 --> 00:36:59,739
details, Ci smithsonian don't eat need or drink

837
00:36:59,739 --> 00:37:00,856
intoxicated beverages,

838
00:37:01,668 --> 00:37:04,457
are untouched by diseases are peaceful and possess

839
00:37:04,457 --> 00:37:05,095
snow weapons,

840
00:37:05,573 --> 00:37:07,805
worship God rather than gold treat their women

841
00:37:07,805 --> 00:37:09,181
as equals and

842
00:37:09,494 --> 00:37:12,764
are governed by a council of exceedingly wise

843
00:37:12,764 --> 00:37:13,163
leaders.

844
00:37:14,040 --> 00:37:16,513
They work ind for the common good and

845
00:37:16,513 --> 00:37:18,927
are paid equally for all work

846
00:37:20,597 --> 00:37:22,992
When Sea born and his crew speak of

847
00:37:22,992 --> 00:37:25,147
the ways of the outer world, the

848
00:37:25,546 --> 00:37:26,605
Smithsonian are

849
00:37:27,063 --> 00:37:28,260
filled with disgust.

850
00:37:28,754 --> 00:37:29,393
And pity.

851
00:37:31,870 --> 00:37:34,667
When first encountering the outsiders, they're presumed to

852
00:37:34,667 --> 00:37:35,886
be exiled sim

853
00:37:36,265 --> 00:37:38,987
as This is the punishment needed out to

854
00:37:38,987 --> 00:37:41,135
those not compliant with their laws.

855
00:37:42,328 --> 00:37:43,464
Sea Grim

856
00:37:43,934 --> 00:37:45,923
arises that at some point in the ancient

857
00:37:45,923 --> 00:37:47,696
past, it's this that might

858
00:37:48,150 --> 00:37:50,856
explain the origins of our own corrupt race.

859
00:37:52,700 --> 00:37:55,325
Wishing to avoid the moral contagion present by

860
00:37:55,325 --> 00:37:58,704
the foreigners, Sea crew is banished from Sam.

861
00:37:59,560 --> 00:38:01,793
And when a storm overtake her ship, all

862
00:38:01,793 --> 00:38:04,585
evidence collected during their visit is washed overboard

863
00:38:04,585 --> 00:38:07,297
and even the seal pe bring no real

864
00:38:07,297 --> 00:38:10,525
profit is seem born cheated by a dishonest

865
00:38:10,583 --> 00:38:11,063
middle.

866
00:38:12,419 --> 00:38:15,532
As the story ends, sea born still hopes

867
00:38:15,532 --> 00:38:18,603
to 1 day return and make a fortune

868
00:38:18,902 --> 00:38:20,260
exploiting all those precious,

869
00:38:21,139 --> 00:38:24,095
and resources because we're bad people up here.

870
00:38:31,833 --> 00:38:34,932
There is another novel written in 18 38,

871
00:38:35,091 --> 00:38:37,658
which I've referenced in a previous show, our

872
00:38:37,793 --> 00:38:39,860
ghost chips episode way back went.

873
00:38:40,829 --> 00:38:42,670
I included it there because it contained a

874
00:38:42,670 --> 00:38:46,269
particularly vivid and gruesome passage describing the sighting

875
00:38:46,269 --> 00:38:46,670
of

876
00:38:47,069 --> 00:38:49,889
ship in its crew of dead siemens slowly

877
00:38:50,123 --> 00:38:51,946
eaten away by carrie birds,

878
00:38:53,294 --> 00:38:57,179
that passage was penn by Edgar Allen Poe,

879
00:38:57,828 --> 00:39:00,554
In the only novel he ever produced called

880
00:39:00,848 --> 00:39:05,005
the narrative of arthur Gordon pi of Na.

881
00:39:07,064 --> 00:39:09,222
Oh, had already offered readers a sort of

882
00:39:09,222 --> 00:39:11,299
ghost ship of afloat in a weird south

883
00:39:11,380 --> 00:39:12,758
Polar seed in his

884
00:39:13,297 --> 00:39:15,535
18 31 story, Ms found in a bottle.

885
00:39:16,030 --> 00:39:19,230
Ms for manuscript. And for Pi, poe returns

886
00:39:19,230 --> 00:39:21,950
to the southern Seas around antarctica to create

887
00:39:21,950 --> 00:39:22,690
this novels

888
00:39:23,084 --> 00:39:25,481
strange mix of lu terror,

889
00:39:26,120 --> 00:39:27,180
imp mysteries

890
00:39:27,958 --> 00:39:28,938
and pot

891
00:39:29,396 --> 00:39:30,969
adventure, all inter with

892
00:39:31,725 --> 00:39:35,384
tedious ships log, tight passages, latitude, long,

893
00:39:36,100 --> 00:39:37,714
details of practical maritime

894
00:39:38,105 --> 00:39:38,925
cern and

895
00:39:39,224 --> 00:39:41,625
discussions on map making earth sciences,

896
00:39:42,025 --> 00:39:42,765
natural history

897
00:39:43,305 --> 00:39:44,025
and so forth.

898
00:39:44,585 --> 00:39:45,704
It's rather uneven.

899
00:39:47,158 --> 00:39:49,234
Early in the novel, we have a young

900
00:39:49,234 --> 00:39:51,309
pi fleeing his family to s away on

901
00:39:51,309 --> 00:39:53,726
a w ship hiding within a dark claustrophobic

902
00:39:54,024 --> 00:39:55,461
box with little food,

903
00:39:56,274 --> 00:39:58,823
Soon, there is a mutiny shortage of provisions

904
00:39:58,823 --> 00:39:59,881
resulting in cannibalism

905
00:40:00,337 --> 00:40:02,169
and all this before they cross an ice

906
00:40:02,169 --> 00:40:04,811
barrier air and discover the Balm, Fictitious island

907
00:40:04,811 --> 00:40:06,743
of Sal, home to

908
00:40:07,198 --> 00:40:09,369
unknown fauna, including a ga

909
00:40:09,744 --> 00:40:12,210
species of polar bear and strange fox like

910
00:40:12,703 --> 00:40:15,889
Features with silky white hair and scarlet claws.

911
00:40:17,164 --> 00:40:18,142
The islanders

912
00:40:18,917 --> 00:40:19,417
are

913
00:40:19,728 --> 00:40:22,756
black, not only black skinned, but have black

914
00:40:22,756 --> 00:40:23,074
teeth.

915
00:40:23,951 --> 00:40:26,261
And at this point, post slips into the

916
00:40:26,261 --> 00:40:30,101
sort of uncomfortable nineteenth century tropes you might

917
00:40:30,101 --> 00:40:30,419
expect.

918
00:40:31,296 --> 00:40:33,607
First assumed to be friendly the natives turn

919
00:40:33,607 --> 00:40:36,157
on Pi and his companions attacking them and

920
00:40:36,157 --> 00:40:39,112
burning their ship and forcing them to flee

921
00:40:39,112 --> 00:40:40,859
into the hills where they've discover a series

922
00:40:40,859 --> 00:40:42,947
of strange labyrinth passages,

923
00:40:43,639 --> 00:40:46,124
carved with designs, later said to be

924
00:40:46,751 --> 00:40:47,807
Egyptian hi

925
00:40:48,260 --> 00:40:48,816
and things.

926
00:40:50,245 --> 00:40:52,865
There's another battle with the hostile tribe and

927
00:40:52,865 --> 00:40:55,168
another escape this time on a canoe,

928
00:40:55,898 --> 00:40:59,001
Which seems to be pulled irr remarkably south

929
00:40:59,001 --> 00:40:59,978
word on

930
00:41:00,592 --> 00:41:01,626
mysterious current,

931
00:41:03,314 --> 00:41:05,871
Pi logs the days with a sense of

932
00:41:05,871 --> 00:41:07,789
dread, by the way, before missus Car reads,

933
00:41:08,028 --> 00:41:10,505
the next passage is a little spoiler alert

934
00:41:10,505 --> 00:41:11,638
for the next 2 and a half for

935
00:41:11,638 --> 00:41:14,201
3 minutes as we're nearing the novels

936
00:41:14,891 --> 00:41:16,398
truly surprising end.

937
00:41:17,747 --> 00:41:18,461
March first,

938
00:41:19,255 --> 00:41:22,450
many are... Unusual phenomenon now indicated that we

939
00:41:22,450 --> 00:41:24,620
were entering upon a region of novelty

940
00:41:25,234 --> 00:41:26,052
and wonder.

941
00:41:26,999 --> 00:41:29,465
A high range of light gray vapor appeared

942
00:41:29,465 --> 00:41:31,215
constantly in the southern horizon.

943
00:41:32,090 --> 00:41:33,894
Flaring up occasionally, in

944
00:41:34,331 --> 00:41:34,648
Streak,

945
00:41:35,203 --> 00:41:37,425
now dart from east to west,

946
00:41:38,139 --> 00:41:40,969
now from West to east. And again, oc

947
00:41:41,328 --> 00:41:43,796
presenting a level and uniform summit.

948
00:41:44,353 --> 00:41:46,685
In short, having all the wild

949
00:41:47,140 --> 00:41:49,153
variations of the aurora Bore,

950
00:41:50,181 --> 00:41:53,311
the water begins growing hot and turns the

951
00:41:53,369 --> 00:41:54,165
milky color,

952
00:41:55,041 --> 00:41:55,541
then

953
00:41:56,969 --> 00:42:00,550
fine white powder resembling ashes, but certainly not

954
00:42:00,550 --> 00:42:00,869
such,

955
00:42:01,425 --> 00:42:02,960
fell over the canoe

956
00:42:03,415 --> 00:42:05,919
and over large service of the water

957
00:42:06,453 --> 00:42:09,340
as a flickering died away among the vapor

958
00:42:09,397 --> 00:42:10,533
and the commotion

959
00:42:10,908 --> 00:42:12,022
subsided in the sea.

960
00:42:13,215 --> 00:42:16,186
Such the gigantic cut now ranged along the

961
00:42:16,186 --> 00:42:18,424
whole extent of the southern horizon.

962
00:42:19,303 --> 00:42:22,020
At intervals, they were visible in it while,

963
00:42:22,593 --> 00:42:24,666
yawning, but moment rents.

964
00:42:25,463 --> 00:42:28,652
And out these rents within which was a

965
00:42:28,652 --> 00:42:30,667
chaos of living and

966
00:42:30,979 --> 00:42:35,532
distinct images. There came rushing and mighty, but

967
00:42:35,668 --> 00:42:36,963
sound winds

968
00:42:37,338 --> 00:42:39,960
tearing up the kindle ocean in their core,

969
00:42:40,932 --> 00:42:43,088
and then the final entry.

970
00:42:44,285 --> 00:42:45,184
Many gigantic

971
00:42:45,563 --> 00:42:49,155
imp white birds flew continuously now from the

972
00:42:49,155 --> 00:42:49,889
ups the bail.

973
00:42:50,688 --> 00:42:53,565
And now we rushed into the embraces of

974
00:42:53,565 --> 00:42:54,224
the cataract

975
00:42:54,844 --> 00:42:57,960
where a cousin threw itself open to receive

976
00:42:57,960 --> 00:42:58,655
us on

977
00:42:59,409 --> 00:42:59,964
but there,

978
00:43:00,520 --> 00:43:02,131
a rose in our pathway,

979
00:43:02,901 --> 00:43:06,210
a shrouded human figure, very far a large

980
00:43:06,409 --> 00:43:09,121
in its proportions than any dwell among men,

981
00:43:09,839 --> 00:43:11,435
and the hue of the skin of the

982
00:43:11,435 --> 00:43:11,914
figure,

983
00:43:12,472 --> 00:43:14,103
walls of a bear perfect

984
00:43:14,478 --> 00:43:15,376
what miss

985
00:43:16,148 --> 00:43:16,864
of the snow.

986
00:43:23,479 --> 00:43:25,863
Yes. That's really how it ends. The very

987
00:43:25,863 --> 00:43:26,499
last words,

988
00:43:27,056 --> 00:43:29,758
presumably as they enter a polar other world

989
00:43:29,758 --> 00:43:31,268
or make them what you will.

990
00:43:35,100 --> 00:43:37,805
Despite never actually delivering a description of a

991
00:43:37,805 --> 00:43:38,839
world within our own?

992
00:43:40,050 --> 00:43:41,910
Pose, p is in

993
00:43:42,210 --> 00:43:43,809
linked with hollow mythology.

994
00:43:44,210 --> 00:43:47,170
In part, because of some mysterious words reported

995
00:43:47,170 --> 00:43:50,454
by the attending physician, John Joseph Moran at

996
00:43:50,454 --> 00:43:53,101
the hospital to which poe was brought when

997
00:43:53,476 --> 00:43:55,726
found intoxicated and deli

998
00:43:56,260 --> 00:43:56,897
on the street.

999
00:43:58,828 --> 00:43:59,867
In Moran...

1000
00:44:00,905 --> 00:44:04,262
Official memorandum of the death of Edgar A

1001
00:44:04,262 --> 00:44:07,469
poe. Published to the Baltimore son, The physician

1002
00:44:07,469 --> 00:44:08,264
is quoted.

1003
00:44:09,059 --> 00:44:11,387
I found him in a violent deli.

1004
00:44:12,159 --> 00:44:15,658
This state continued until Saturday evening when he

1005
00:44:15,658 --> 00:44:15,976
commenced.

1006
00:44:16,469 --> 00:44:18,230
Calling for 1 reynolds,

1007
00:44:18,789 --> 00:44:21,030
which he did to the night until 3

1008
00:44:21,030 --> 00:44:22,069
on Sunday morning.

1009
00:44:22,630 --> 00:44:24,799
It's often suggest that this could be the

1010
00:44:24,799 --> 00:44:28,384
newspaper editor, writer, explorer, and Hollow earth ent,

1011
00:44:28,942 --> 00:44:30,057
j in reynolds.

1012
00:44:30,614 --> 00:44:33,341
So his address on the subject of surveying

1013
00:44:33,341 --> 00:44:35,973
and exploring expeditions in the Pacific Ocean and

1014
00:44:36,053 --> 00:44:36,952
South Seas

1015
00:44:37,568 --> 00:44:40,280
had been favorably reviewed by poe,

1016
00:44:40,934 --> 00:44:43,347
for the southern literary messenger,

1017
00:44:44,123 --> 00:44:46,436
and a similar piece by Reynolds Po reviewed

1018
00:44:46,436 --> 00:44:49,386
for the Philadelphia based Grams magazine.

1019
00:44:50,438 --> 00:44:54,508
More significantly, Poe had actually borrowed some 700

1020
00:44:54,508 --> 00:44:56,604
wars directly from the aforementioned

1021
00:44:56,982 --> 00:45:00,755
address s text for Arthur Gordon Pi.

1022
00:45:02,195 --> 00:45:04,755
As a s war supporter of the Hollow

1023
00:45:04,835 --> 00:45:07,474
Earth concept, reynolds, not only was in communication

1024
00:45:07,474 --> 00:45:09,883
was Sims, but joined him for years on

1025
00:45:09,883 --> 00:45:10,760
his lecture tour.

1026
00:45:11,717 --> 00:45:15,386
However, with time, reynolds modified his perspective, exchanging

1027
00:45:15,386 --> 00:45:17,141
the idea of a polar opening,

1028
00:45:17,713 --> 00:45:20,171
for that of the warmer open polar c

1029
00:45:20,171 --> 00:45:21,915
hidden behind Icy barriers.

1030
00:45:25,578 --> 00:45:27,968
This more modern position no doubt aided him

1031
00:45:27,968 --> 00:45:31,075
in securing the support that in 18 29

1032
00:45:31,075 --> 00:45:33,885
allowed him to organize a private

1033
00:45:34,262 --> 00:45:37,383
expedition. Which reached the shores of antarctica.

1034
00:45:38,339 --> 00:45:40,809
The trip wasn't exactly as planned, however,

1035
00:45:41,526 --> 00:45:44,130
on the return, reynolds and a companion were

1036
00:45:44,489 --> 00:45:47,446
abandoned by a mountainous crew on the shores

1037
00:45:47,446 --> 00:45:47,925
of chile,

1038
00:45:48,644 --> 00:45:51,202
leaving the cast to spend 2 years in

1039
00:45:51,202 --> 00:45:53,040
that country as va bonds.

1040
00:45:57,843 --> 00:45:59,619
While reynolds may have modified

1041
00:45:59,997 --> 00:46:00,795
sins beliefs.

1042
00:46:01,449 --> 00:46:03,929
His Hollow earth concept lived on far after

1043
00:46:03,929 --> 00:46:05,449
his death in 18 28,

1044
00:46:05,849 --> 00:46:07,849
and not only is a motif for fiction.

1045
00:46:09,223 --> 00:46:12,759
In 18 71, for instance, William F lion

1046
00:46:13,218 --> 00:46:15,695
produced a book based on on scientific theories,

1047
00:46:15,935 --> 00:46:17,630
but channel material,

1048
00:46:18,429 --> 00:46:19,630
1 with the curious title.

1049
00:46:20,510 --> 00:46:22,369
The hollow globe or

1050
00:46:22,750 --> 00:46:25,789
the world's ag educator and reconcile.

1051
00:46:26,364 --> 00:46:29,344
A treat on the physical of the earth

1052
00:46:30,045 --> 00:46:31,824
presented through the organism

1053
00:46:32,204 --> 00:46:33,824
of M l Sherman

1054
00:46:34,617 --> 00:46:37,646
D. Sherman was the spiritual medium whose channel

1055
00:46:37,646 --> 00:46:38,146
content

1056
00:46:38,523 --> 00:46:40,515
was said to have been merely edited by

1057
00:46:40,595 --> 00:46:40,914
Lion.

1058
00:46:42,523 --> 00:46:44,679
18 85 saw the publication of another book

1059
00:46:44,679 --> 00:46:45,398
on the topic,

1060
00:46:46,196 --> 00:46:50,906
interior world, American manifest destiny by Washington El

1061
00:46:50,906 --> 00:46:51,305
tower,

1062
00:46:51,878 --> 00:46:55,454
which wrapped an earnest argument for national exploitation

1063
00:46:55,454 --> 00:46:57,464
of this final frontier

1064
00:46:57,997 --> 00:46:59,054
inside a predictable

1065
00:46:59,428 --> 00:46:59,984
adventure story,

1066
00:47:00,954 --> 00:47:02,628
In 19 o eight's saw the founding in

1067
00:47:02,708 --> 00:47:05,760
New York of the William Reed Hollow Earth

1068
00:47:05,898 --> 00:47:09,487
exploring club, an organization inspired by Reed p

1069
00:47:09,487 --> 00:47:12,606
reportedly non fiction volume, the phantom of the

1070
00:47:12,606 --> 00:47:13,004
polls.

1071
00:47:14,038 --> 00:47:16,741
Although I don't believe the club ever pulled

1072
00:47:16,741 --> 00:47:17,775
together that expedition.

1073
00:47:22,093 --> 00:47:23,851
1 of the more influential books on this

1074
00:47:23,851 --> 00:47:26,409
topic appeared even later in 19 13.

1075
00:47:27,048 --> 00:47:29,206
A journey to the Earth's interior,

1076
00:47:29,765 --> 00:47:32,241
or have the poles really been discovered?

1077
00:47:32,875 --> 00:47:35,411
No. Said Marshall b Gardner, owner of a

1078
00:47:35,411 --> 00:47:37,472
cor factory in the outskirts of Chicago.

1079
00:47:38,204 --> 00:47:41,000
Like Sims, he imagined the inward turning to

1080
00:47:41,000 --> 00:47:43,317
the ocean's surface is gradual so that went

1081
00:47:43,317 --> 00:47:44,515
unnoticed by sailors.

1082
00:47:44,930 --> 00:47:45,969
And like reynolds,

1083
00:47:46,369 --> 00:47:49,650
imagined balm lands hidden behind an icy barrier.

1084
00:47:50,610 --> 00:47:53,170
Here, through the heat of the interior sun,

1085
00:47:53,904 --> 00:47:57,041
Plant life makes seed in size and luxurious.

1086
00:47:57,659 --> 00:48:00,456
Any vegetation that ever grew upon the outside

1087
00:48:00,456 --> 00:48:01,655
service of the earth.

1088
00:48:02,309 --> 00:48:04,490
The frozen bodies of mammoth

1089
00:48:04,869 --> 00:48:07,530
discovered with surprising frequency, particularly in Siberia

1090
00:48:08,309 --> 00:48:12,324
seemed far too fresh, to gardner be thousands

1091
00:48:12,324 --> 00:48:13,045
of years old.

1092
00:48:14,164 --> 00:48:16,724
Surely, they had only recently stray from their

1093
00:48:16,724 --> 00:48:18,300
home in the inner earth

1094
00:48:19,455 --> 00:48:22,085
and the plant life still recognizable in their

1095
00:48:22,085 --> 00:48:25,274
stomachs testified to that lush anterior vegetation.

1096
00:48:26,804 --> 00:48:31,598
A particularly entertaining chapter, mammoth an finds further

1097
00:48:31,598 --> 00:48:34,235
evidence in the relatively normal fresh, I guess,

1098
00:48:34,969 --> 00:48:38,405
taste of their meat. The most talked about

1099
00:48:38,405 --> 00:48:41,463
mammoth Banquet was that given by professor Hertz

1100
00:48:41,522 --> 00:48:43,680
of the imperial academy of science.

1101
00:48:44,173 --> 00:48:46,875
Of Sage Petersburg, who had been the leader

1102
00:48:46,875 --> 00:48:48,726
of the expedition into Siberia,

1103
00:48:49,179 --> 00:48:52,199
which une unearned and transported the mammoth in

1104
00:48:52,199 --> 00:48:52,699
question

1105
00:48:53,170 --> 00:48:54,610
to the imperial museum,

1106
00:48:55,170 --> 00:48:57,570
and asked scientists in other parts of the

1107
00:48:57,570 --> 00:49:00,541
world to contribute other ancient foods such as

1108
00:49:00,541 --> 00:49:02,925
corn dug up from the ruins of Egyptian

1109
00:49:02,925 --> 00:49:05,549
cities. He then cites an account of this

1110
00:49:05,549 --> 00:49:07,378
banquet and its main course.

1111
00:49:08,189 --> 00:49:12,199
Mammoth stake, which all the learning guests declared

1112
00:49:12,338 --> 00:49:14,274
was agreeable to taste

1113
00:49:14,732 --> 00:49:16,742
and not much tougher than some of the

1114
00:49:16,742 --> 00:49:19,137
solo furnished by butcher up today.

1115
00:49:20,813 --> 00:49:23,368
Another mammoth meal was eaten by an American

1116
00:49:23,368 --> 00:49:27,207
traveler and author Mister James Oliver C,

1117
00:49:27,684 --> 00:49:30,151
who told reporter from the Chicago Tribune.

1118
00:49:30,708 --> 00:49:33,096
The flesh was of a deep bread or

1119
00:49:33,096 --> 00:49:36,378
mahogany color. And I dine on steak, an

1120
00:49:36,378 --> 00:49:37,654
inch and a half thick.

1121
00:49:38,532 --> 00:49:41,025
The flavor of the meat was old, not

1122
00:49:41,084 --> 00:49:43,397
unpleasant, but simply old and dry.

1123
00:49:44,368 --> 00:49:46,138
That it had lost none of its life

1124
00:49:46,193 --> 00:49:48,257
sustaining elements was shown by the fact that

1125
00:49:48,257 --> 00:49:51,512
the dogs the rover upon it. And finally,

1126
00:49:51,670 --> 00:49:54,869
there's a 19 third. Chain banquet organized in

1127
00:49:55,028 --> 00:49:56,884
Paris by the Italian poet

1128
00:49:57,421 --> 00:49:58,857
military officer, Gabriel,

1129
00:50:00,213 --> 00:50:01,090
who declared.

1130
00:50:01,887 --> 00:50:04,933
It was the most successful dinner I ever

1131
00:50:04,933 --> 00:50:05,252
gave.

1132
00:50:05,811 --> 00:50:08,225
The elephant meat exceeded my highest

1133
00:50:08,921 --> 00:50:09,240
expectations.

1134
00:50:10,038 --> 00:50:13,083
In flavor it was like tortoise flesh. But

1135
00:50:13,083 --> 00:50:14,833
it was well a little tough.

1136
00:50:15,550 --> 00:50:17,937
I had it bro and served with 6

1137
00:50:17,937 --> 00:50:19,210
different kinds of sauce.

1138
00:50:21,295 --> 00:50:23,447
Good meat shouldn't really need all those sauces,

1139
00:50:23,686 --> 00:50:26,235
but I wouldn't have turned down that invite.

1140
00:50:33,105 --> 00:50:36,774
Now, I'm sure there's a particular French novel

1141
00:50:36,774 --> 00:50:38,848
that came to mind when we started talking

1142
00:50:38,848 --> 00:50:40,697
about adventures and the earth interior.

1143
00:50:41,255 --> 00:50:43,727
Of course, I mean Jules 18 64 novel

1144
00:50:43,727 --> 00:50:45,981
journey to the center of the Earth, which

1145
00:50:46,199 --> 00:50:48,965
you've now learned was far from the first

1146
00:50:49,084 --> 00:50:50,039
treatment of this scene.

1147
00:50:50,834 --> 00:50:52,982
In fact, it wasn't even the first French

1148
00:50:52,982 --> 00:50:54,891
novel called dirt to the center of the

1149
00:50:54,891 --> 00:50:55,130
earth.

1150
00:50:56,099 --> 00:50:59,286
A, largely forgotten 18 21 book with that

1151
00:50:59,286 --> 00:51:02,392
very same title appeared 43 years before Burns,

1152
00:51:02,870 --> 00:51:05,123
it was by Jo D.

1153
00:51:05,832 --> 00:51:08,796
And author best known for his 18 18

1154
00:51:09,409 --> 00:51:10,443
infer dictionary,

1155
00:51:11,158 --> 00:51:14,202
a volume particularly familiar from its 18 63

1156
00:51:14,258 --> 00:51:14,869
edition with

1157
00:51:15,789 --> 00:51:18,425
Illustrations of demons, which you've definitely seen probably

1158
00:51:18,425 --> 00:51:20,822
in horror movies in which a character flips

1159
00:51:20,822 --> 00:51:23,059
through and ancient occult toe.

1160
00:51:24,349 --> 00:51:26,898
Dump c center of the earth is another

1161
00:51:26,898 --> 00:51:30,722
work of utopian fiction, catalog the virtue of

1162
00:51:30,722 --> 00:51:33,600
the dim dominion inhabitants of roughly a half

1163
00:51:33,600 --> 00:51:35,980
a dozen lands on Earth's interior.

1164
00:51:37,012 --> 00:51:38,915
I also wasn't aware of this book until

1165
00:51:38,915 --> 00:51:42,501
listener just Moe and expert on historical science

1166
00:51:42,501 --> 00:51:44,485
fiction pointed it out to me. I'd asked

1167
00:51:44,485 --> 00:51:47,286
him about the first instance of the sub

1168
00:51:47,580 --> 00:51:48,080
dinosaur

1169
00:51:48,389 --> 00:51:51,014
probe, Something familiar from turns novel.

1170
00:51:51,650 --> 00:51:53,957
D diplomacy c does have some sort of

1171
00:51:53,957 --> 00:51:56,367
seed monster popping up behind a boat and

1172
00:51:56,423 --> 00:51:59,561
fought off by the explorer poor, but it's

1173
00:51:59,618 --> 00:52:00,594
described as

1174
00:52:01,128 --> 00:52:04,783
a monster of enormous size we mis mistook

1175
00:52:04,783 --> 00:52:05,578
for a sea horse.

1176
00:52:06,388 --> 00:52:08,139
And then they're were flying dragons,

1177
00:52:08,856 --> 00:52:11,722
rather classically folk glory Dragons own up, really

1178
00:52:11,722 --> 00:52:13,632
matching up with any kind of terra sword

1179
00:52:13,632 --> 00:52:13,871
really?

1180
00:52:14,445 --> 00:52:16,844
So it seems that Jules Verne journey to

1181
00:52:16,844 --> 00:52:18,605
the center of the earth is the real

1182
00:52:18,605 --> 00:52:19,105
sub

1183
00:52:19,405 --> 00:52:19,905
dinosaur

1184
00:52:20,445 --> 00:52:22,849
choke maker. But I'm getting a bit ahead

1185
00:52:22,849 --> 00:52:23,326
of myself.

1186
00:52:27,619 --> 00:52:31,134
Ver story begins with the discovery of a

1187
00:52:31,134 --> 00:52:34,650
run manuscript by the German professor, Otto von

1188
00:52:34,810 --> 00:52:35,289
Linden,

1189
00:52:35,769 --> 00:52:38,805
1 containing a note describing a journey deep

1190
00:52:38,805 --> 00:52:42,189
below the Earth, undertaking in medieval Iceland northern

1191
00:52:42,644 --> 00:52:45,112
starting point as is traditional for these stories.

1192
00:52:46,148 --> 00:52:48,866
Following the clues in the manuscript Linden Broken

1193
00:52:48,866 --> 00:52:51,562
his nephew traveled to that country, and with

1194
00:52:51,562 --> 00:52:54,734
the local guide began their interior journey with

1195
00:52:54,734 --> 00:52:57,842
a descent through the mouth of dormant volcano.

1196
00:52:59,588 --> 00:53:00,563
Burns scientific

1197
00:53:01,094 --> 00:53:04,704
orientation doesn't allow for the traditional hollow earth's

1198
00:53:04,841 --> 00:53:07,413
sphere within a sphere nonsense sentenced study simply

1199
00:53:07,471 --> 00:53:10,340
describes it is sent through cavern albeit including

1200
00:53:10,340 --> 00:53:10,898
some rather,

1201
00:53:11,536 --> 00:53:14,269
enormous chambers 1 large enough to accommodate a

1202
00:53:14,269 --> 00:53:16,989
vast underground ocean he dubbed central sea.

1203
00:53:18,190 --> 00:53:20,784
There is no inner sun of course, the

1204
00:53:20,923 --> 00:53:23,081
explorers bring their own lights, which should only

1205
00:53:23,081 --> 00:53:25,557
reach so far, so to reveal the vast

1206
00:53:25,557 --> 00:53:28,170
of that sieve or deposits it some

1207
00:53:28,528 --> 00:53:29,028
mysterious

1208
00:53:29,565 --> 00:53:32,059
electromagnetic phenomenon and associated with the

1209
00:53:32,436 --> 00:53:33,415
chambers vault

1210
00:53:34,032 --> 00:53:37,244
and also provides a luminous gas to light

1211
00:53:37,302 --> 00:53:38,041
another chamber

1212
00:53:39,227 --> 00:53:41,928
As seen already in at Do, there's an

1213
00:53:41,928 --> 00:53:44,811
underground river and forests of colossal mushrooms,

1214
00:53:45,598 --> 00:53:49,500
Along with other giant flo, representing a Vast

1215
00:53:49,500 --> 00:53:53,242
and mysterious hot house of ante il plants.

1216
00:53:55,723 --> 00:53:58,826
Be explicitly structures his story after the paleo

1217
00:53:58,826 --> 00:54:01,308
logical process of digging for fall that is

1218
00:54:01,308 --> 00:54:04,262
a descent into lower strata being a descent

1219
00:54:04,262 --> 00:54:04,980
into the past.

1220
00:54:05,858 --> 00:54:09,232
So naturally, a herd of living mastodon are

1221
00:54:09,291 --> 00:54:09,610
encountered.

1222
00:54:11,141 --> 00:54:13,534
Strangely, these are accompanied by a sort of

1223
00:54:13,534 --> 00:54:15,847
shepherd of 12 foot primitive man,

1224
00:54:16,485 --> 00:54:19,197
something recalling the biblical notion of Anti d

1225
00:54:19,197 --> 00:54:19,889
il China

1226
00:54:20,486 --> 00:54:23,509
and so strange that even leaves the outspoken

1227
00:54:23,509 --> 00:54:25,895
professor Lin brought more or less speechless.

1228
00:54:26,849 --> 00:54:29,588
Hence and of course, there's that signature scene

1229
00:54:29,804 --> 00:54:31,789
illustrated on the covers of many additions, the

1230
00:54:31,789 --> 00:54:32,686
battle between

1231
00:54:33,060 --> 00:54:36,078
2 prehistoric monsters who swim the central sea,

1232
00:54:37,046 --> 00:54:39,903
Ver had his professor pinned them with specific

1233
00:54:39,903 --> 00:54:40,221
names.

1234
00:54:41,809 --> 00:54:44,032
The first of these hideous monsters.

1235
00:54:44,444 --> 00:54:46,512
Has a sn of a poor miss, the

1236
00:54:46,512 --> 00:54:48,977
head of a lizard, the teeth of a

1237
00:54:48,977 --> 00:54:49,477
crocodile,

1238
00:54:50,091 --> 00:54:52,318
and it is this that has deceived us,

1239
00:54:53,048 --> 00:54:55,901
it is the most fearful of all angelo

1240
00:54:55,901 --> 00:54:56,401
d

1241
00:54:56,772 --> 00:54:59,887
reptile. The world renowned, ic

1242
00:55:00,274 --> 00:55:02,422
us or great fish lizard.

1243
00:55:03,615 --> 00:55:06,081
The other is a monstrous serpent.

1244
00:55:06,797 --> 00:55:09,201
See under the hard baltic shell of the

1245
00:55:09,201 --> 00:55:09,520
turtle,

1246
00:55:10,157 --> 00:55:12,946
the terrible enemy of its fearful rival,

1247
00:55:13,424 --> 00:55:14,243
the p

1248
00:55:15,018 --> 00:55:17,065
or sea K island. Will

1249
00:55:19,898 --> 00:55:22,612
Listener, Justin also pointed me to an early

1250
00:55:22,612 --> 00:55:25,566
work of paleo art, actually the earliest and

1251
00:55:25,566 --> 00:55:28,526
18 30 water color by English geo Henry

1252
00:55:28,685 --> 00:55:32,025
D, which might have inspired Ver battle.

1253
00:55:33,297 --> 00:55:36,023
The painting, which was widely circulated in lit

1254
00:55:36,255 --> 00:55:39,215
form shows precisely these 2 species fighting.

1255
00:55:39,855 --> 00:55:41,235
With the ic

1256
00:55:41,614 --> 00:55:44,675
crunching in its jaws, they s neck p

1257
00:55:45,389 --> 00:55:48,418
seemingly the in the encounter as it is

1258
00:55:48,418 --> 00:55:50,172
in the novels battle.

1259
00:55:52,005 --> 00:55:55,213
This prehistoric combat scene was so popular that

1260
00:55:55,213 --> 00:55:57,769
in 18 71 English edition of the novel,

1261
00:55:58,408 --> 00:56:01,019
1 notorious for its audacious liberties with the

1262
00:56:01,139 --> 00:56:01,458
text,

1263
00:56:02,016 --> 00:56:05,924
fabricated an entire chapter dedicated to staging another

1264
00:56:05,924 --> 00:56:09,135
battle between something called a Shark crocodile.

1265
00:56:09,672 --> 00:56:18,139
And a 14 foot cave only 08:14

1266
00:56:23,619 --> 00:56:24,900
Don't unthinkable of but my be true a

1267
00:56:24,900 --> 00:56:26,900
man took some tools and went by no

1268
00:56:26,900 --> 00:56:28,449
human. Being at foot

1269
00:56:28,821 --> 00:56:29,321
alone

1270
00:56:29,932 --> 00:56:32,550
went into the interiors earth. Ladies and gentlemen,

1271
00:56:32,709 --> 00:56:33,741
this is James Mason.

1272
00:56:34,455 --> 00:56:37,015
Being come along with Pat boone and me,

1273
00:56:37,731 --> 00:56:38,231
Ali,

1274
00:56:38,845 --> 00:56:39,742
Diane Baker

1275
00:56:40,197 --> 00:56:41,390
and k the duck.

1276
00:56:42,041 --> 00:56:45,137
And discover sights and sounds and wonders, no

1277
00:56:45,137 --> 00:56:47,916
living man has ever witnessed before. Speaking of

1278
00:56:47,916 --> 00:56:49,028
prehistoric creatures.

1279
00:56:49,838 --> 00:56:52,088
Hope you'll indulge me with this final personal

1280
00:56:52,304 --> 00:56:55,168
complaint about the 19 59 film adaptation.

1281
00:56:56,043 --> 00:56:58,688
Essay sa, lifelong stop motion fan. I remember

1282
00:56:58,688 --> 00:57:01,799
being bitterly disappointed as a kid with what

1283
00:57:01,799 --> 00:57:04,612
must have been intended to substitute for the

1284
00:57:04,989 --> 00:57:06,026
aforementioned battle scene.

1285
00:57:06,838 --> 00:57:08,985
It's no longer in the sea itself, but

1286
00:57:08,985 --> 00:57:09,884
on the shore

1287
00:57:10,338 --> 00:57:13,574
and anti anticlimactic cameo by a handful of

1288
00:57:13,694 --> 00:57:16,671
t, not visualize through stop motion, but by

1289
00:57:16,891 --> 00:57:19,927
gluing fins to the backs of actual lizards.

1290
00:57:20,486 --> 00:57:23,614
Rhino now Ig who flop about in that

1291
00:57:23,614 --> 00:57:27,623
dis way, not battling each other, but really

1292
00:57:27,760 --> 00:57:29,993
cannibal 1 of their own after it's killed

1293
00:57:29,993 --> 00:57:31,864
by a single spear

1294
00:57:32,164 --> 00:57:33,364
thrown by 1 of the explorers.

1295
00:57:34,724 --> 00:57:38,164
Another brief dinosaur scene uses, another lizard actor

1296
00:57:38,164 --> 00:57:41,555
something like a monitor liz day t lizard

1297
00:57:41,692 --> 00:57:43,787
airbrush red for some reason and

1298
00:57:44,324 --> 00:57:47,672
moving through a miniature set representing And ruins,

1299
00:57:47,911 --> 00:57:50,315
not here something in the novel, but I

1300
00:57:50,315 --> 00:57:52,942
suppose after Disney's, 20000 leaks under the sea,

1301
00:57:53,101 --> 00:57:53,601
audiences

1302
00:57:53,976 --> 00:57:56,466
just demanded at lan and ruins their

1303
00:57:56,842 --> 00:57:57,956
jules verne movies.

1304
00:57:59,088 --> 00:57:59,588
And

1305
00:58:00,207 --> 00:58:03,402
then there's the casting of pat Boone as

1306
00:58:03,402 --> 00:58:05,534
the professors nephew, which

1307
00:58:05,893 --> 00:58:07,250
might have worked at the time at least

1308
00:58:07,250 --> 00:58:09,563
for box office as he was a fairly

1309
00:58:09,563 --> 00:58:12,595
big star in 19 59, but in music,

1310
00:58:12,929 --> 00:58:14,201
not as an actor.

1311
00:58:15,156 --> 00:58:17,781
He does sing 1 song in the film

1312
00:58:17,781 --> 00:58:20,168
and little snippet of the Robert Burns spell

1313
00:58:20,168 --> 00:58:23,214
that's appropriate to the nineteenth century Scottish setting,

1314
00:58:23,375 --> 00:58:23,875
but

1315
00:58:24,335 --> 00:58:26,675
there were 2 more song sequences,

1316
00:58:27,614 --> 00:58:29,695
shot, but thankfully discarded,

1317
00:58:30,505 --> 00:58:33,996
including this with a naked pat boom discreet

1318
00:58:33,996 --> 00:58:37,193
shot, of course, seen as he showers in

1319
00:58:37,504 --> 00:58:38,004
crystal.

1320
00:58:39,099 --> 00:58:41,593
I suddenly feel like singing

1321
00:58:47,728 --> 00:58:49,963
Yeah, a bit cringe as the kids say.

1322
00:58:50,601 --> 00:58:53,235
And there is 1 other song I pray

1323
00:58:53,235 --> 00:58:54,911
to God. They never considered using this in

1324
00:58:54,911 --> 00:58:56,998
the film, but I guess it was released

1325
00:58:56,998 --> 00:58:58,591
as a sort of cross promotion.

1326
00:59:00,024 --> 00:59:01,776
I'll just close out with this, but we'll

1327
00:59:01,776 --> 00:59:03,847
be back next month with part 2.

1328
00:59:04,739 --> 00:59:06,199
Exploring our hollow earth

1329
00:59:06,500 --> 00:59:09,640
much more deeply, so to speak. For love

1330
00:59:10,099 --> 00:59:11,320
true love

1331
00:59:12,420 --> 00:59:13,400
