I learned all about the hollow earth in a documentary called Godzilla VS Kong. Apparentlty there are already research labs in Antarctica studying it! The scientists tried going in but apparently the gravity gets weird, and they all died. You can only get there safely if you have a big monkey guiding you through the entrance.
Ah, someone else has heard of Monarch, i see.
You are crazy! King Kong died like in the 30`s.
OH MY GOD!! I saw that same documentary!! The Japanese are really good at those... 🤔
Don't forget pacific rim... These are both based on true stories. It says that at the beginning, right?
@@UndergroundIndigenousPrimate that was a false flag to keep the sheeple calm...
🐒💪
The reason that a zoologist came up with Lemuria is fascinating. Before science knew about tectonic drift (which didn't become widely accepted until the 1970s) they needed a way to explain why lemur fossils were found in India when lemurs are only found in Madagascar. The solution: a lost continent that at some point in time connected the two
Smart! 🧠👌🏻
Exactly! That’s why you shouldn’t judge a zoologist by his career back then, or ever
But the Indian plate and the African plate are separate plates?
@@stoxxpapi Madagascar is on the Somali plate. Also, if they were on the same plate, they wouldn't have moved further away from each other...
@@stoxxpapi Yep. They used to be stuck together as a single plate, and then they tore apart and India went off to ram into Asia instead. But it's still got fossils of animals that also existed in the adjacent part of Africa before the two tore apart.
The 2012 thing with the Mayan calendar always amused me. What actually is most likely is the calendar makers got bored, figured the calendar ran for about 1,940 years longer than the emperor would live, and decided to knock off and have a drink. When questioned about the end of the calendar, I suspect they just said the world ends there. Not "we got bored and went drinking."
they were mayan priests. they were drunk already and could just say that it feels good that it ends then because they're drunk.
They actually never even predicted the world would end with their calendar, it was literally just the end of a long cycle and the beginning of a new age/era.
@@mdog86 Yes, its beginning of new era, from 3D to 5D, Dolores Canon got good info on it
@@mdog86And even if it hadn't been the end of a cycle, what are the Mayans supposed to do? Predict the heat death of the universe, and write a calendar that's billions of years long? Carve an infinitely long calendar on an infinite amount of stone?
The Mayan calendar was not linear like ours. It’s circular exactly like an analog watch. 2112 was just the end of the Mayan cycle.
Tbh, you could easily do an entire episode on just Admiral Byrd and operation high jump. It would be very interesting.
The process of "We found snow and some pond scum" turning into "THEY found the garden of Eden and alien technology" is pretty wild.
All he found was the continent of Antarctica.. nothing mysterious or metaphysical.. just ice and a bunch of crazy naso left over from the war
Yeah, I like that one.
"All around the world there are people who believe in the flat earth theory".... Pure genius, Simon.
Of course the world is round. A circle is round. A disk is round.
@@Big_Tex /facepalm
The Flat Earth Society has members *all around the globe* is my go-to. Lol
All around the world there are stupid people
All around the globe there are people who believe in the ancient astronaut theory of a hollow Earth in between each side of the flat disc. The ice walls hold these sides together, allowing for this hollow space to exist.
😂😂😂😂
The hollow earth theory is my favourite conspiracy... it excites the imagination and captures the child like spirit of exploration and discovery... the picture of a huge cavern with some kind of light, huge plants, dinosaurs and advanced civilisations... who wouldn't love to discover and explore something like that
it comes in all sizes too, from the huge holes in the poles with an open centre and a magic sun... to caverns hollowed out by an advanced race in the distant past, with an artificial light source and a sanctuary for extinct animals (slightly more possible)... its enough to keep the candle of imagination burning for hours :)
And the most magical aspects like how does gravity work and how could earthquakes not only be possible but traceable and predictable like they are now.
@@GameTimeWhy we're here for a good time not a logical time 😌
@@mikieliza haha true.
And I enjoy the imagination and childlike spirit of conspiracy theories about the jews. Because you know what they say, once one unproven thing is assumed to be true, then all unproven things are assumed to be true. /j
How much of it do you believe?
The over an hour episodes are usually the best as Simon goes into every detail very well.
AGREED 👍
The idea of hollow earth is super interesting, imo. And there's some enormous caves in Asia that probably ignite the stories.
I would LOVE a modern video game where you get to explore Agartha, maybe in a similar vein to Bioshock or Tomb Raider but on a massive scale. Maybe the basic premise could be your mentor or a family member left on an expedition to the North or South Pole and never returned so you have to go and find them, along the way you discover the entrance to Agartha and uncover its secrets.
Just you wait, Abstergo (Ubisoft) will enfold that into future Assassin's Creed... start writing, get it copyrighted, and make a mint making sense of their sprawling mythos, cash in on their corporate greed, and drop us a line when you make it big!
That would be really cool. I'm picturing something somewhere between Tomb Raider, Uncharted and The Witcher 3, with full blown exploration, interactive environment, map creation, puzzles and traps and really deep lore that ties into mythologies and conspiracies. If a really good studio got on this and put a ton of love, money and research into it, it could be one of the greatest games ever made. To me at least. "Agartha: The World Within" or something like that. I'm so excited and it doesn't even exist. 😥
You could go to Agartha as a central hub in The Secret World mmo!
@@Liquessen Came here to say this. :)
Sounds like a great book!
As someone who is a sucker for urban fantasy, I love stories like this. It excited the imagination, opens (literal) new worlds for exploration, and invites so many interesting questions.
It is a bit concerning some people actually believe it, though.
You should check out a channel called Mr. Mythos... He did a deep dive into all the journals, and everyone that was involved with the different "missions" over the last century. it's very well done. And extremely interesting.
@@kurtisgonzales37 I'll be sure to look into that. Thanks for the recommendation.
in early 20th century and late 19th stories like this were still kinda inventive., jules verne stuff.
they also make for nice plots for donald duck and mickey mouse comics.
Oh man you should read Tunnels. It’s hollow earth urban fantasy
The moment I heard the name Agartha, the hollow earth, I inmediatly compared it to the Irish legends of fairies and how they moved 'underground'. Needless to say, it makes for a fun spin for a fantasy story!! ✨️✍️
I think that's basically the premise for Artemis Fowl iirc, and possibly a few other books I read as a kid I can hardly remember
I had a professor who was immune to seasickness. One time, on a ship off the coast of Antarctica, he had to make his own dinner because everyone else on board, including the kitchen staff, was seasick.
😂😂😂😂😂😂
I was like that also
That'd be so weird. Like being the only one at work when everyone else is down with the flu, but also the building is rocking backwards and forwards
It's weird how different forms of motion sickness can be mutually exclusive. I was in the Navy for 6 years, and I never had any issues with seasickness. I could read, play video games, type, work out, whatever, and never felt the least bit queasy no matter how choppy it got, but if I ever try to read, play a game on the switch, open my laptop and get some work done, anything that involves focusing on something, while I'm in the car or on a plane, nope. I'll start feeling sick pretty much immediately.
I am the same way, but only in land vehicles. I can read, use my laptop, etc in planes and boats but never in a car or train. I also cannot do spinning rides at amusement parks but roller coasters are no problem. It's odd.
Same here, I can be on a boat and in a submarine and not be motion sick. But put me in the back seat of a car and I'll be so motion sick that I ruin road trips. I used to be able to fly on a plane just fine but the last time I flew, I suddenly got really sick but because I had never been sick on a plane before, I thought I had a stomach problem. So I spent 17 hours in agony....
@@petrifiedviewer Do subs roll? I have never been on one at sea. I always assumed you wouldn't get seasick on a sub anyway since you are below the waves.
@@achristiananarchist2509 ok, my fault there lol I may have misled a little. I did not serve on a sub. I worked at a military museum that has a sub and I was forced to stay on the sub during storms and heavy rain to make sure guests and unauthorized personnel did not wander on or sneak into it. It rolled and rocked around HARD. I had to either wedge myself into a corner space or sit on the stairs they installed and hold onto the railing.
@@petrifiedviewer oh ok yeah that makes sense. A sub on the surface in rough seas would be rocking like crazy. Its a tiny steel tube, like being cast out to sea in a giant coke can. Even on small ships like the one I was on, at least its designed to cut through the water. The swells still get pretty crazy though. My funniest rough seas memory is from when I was cranking (the name for the kitchen rotation everyone has to go through when they are newbies). I was washing dishes and the ship took a huge roll just as I was about to hang up a pan. I slid across the floor all the way to the other end of the galley, rolled my eyes and waited for the ship to shift back, and slid back across the floor to the shelf where I hung up the pan. As interesting to me as the fact that my resistance to sea sickness doesn't translate to motion sickness is the fact that my well developed "sea legs" have had no impact on my balance on dry land whatsoever. If I started sliding on an icy street I'd be on my ass in a second.
My mum’s ex truly believed this. He printed out 25 pages of “proof” for me and got really angry when I laughed at him. The dude also secretly believed he was a reincarnation of Arthur Conan Doyle and that’s why he “knew the truth”. I wish I was making this up…
I see why he's an ex.
Sounds like a friend's ex!
@@semaj_5022 More like thank fuck he's an ex.
Arthur Conan Doyle believed in fairies and all kind of weird stuff, so the reincarnation part makes a bit of sense.
Ah yes, famous knower of the truth Arthur Conan Doyle.
Honestly, Simon yelling at siri is one of the highlights of these videos.
Another similar story is The Sunless City: From the Papers and Diaries of the Late Josiah Flintabbety Flonatin by J E Preston Muddock, published in 1905. It involves a prospector who explores a bottomless lake in a submarine. You should check it out. Personally, I would love to hear you trying to pronounce the name!😊
Great idea!
I live for Simon yelling at Siri, its probably some of my favorite stuff on this!
GRAAAAMS
It never works😂😂😂
Sometimes simon triggers my siri, and this ep was one of the rare times when he didn’t.
Simon and I have the same opinion on Siri 😂
Okay, but Simon absolutely screaming "GRAMSSS" at siri is one of my new favorite things 😂😂😂😂😂
I kind of think that going to the North Pole to study penguins would be as futile as looking for an entrance to the centre of the world.
Because at the North Pole they all fell in the hole. It's obvious!
My great uncle was Admiral Byrds first mate (merchant marine). Was with him on every expedition, was the one who recovered him when he came back from Agartha.
My mother has an article saved about all of this in a Morgantown West Virginia newspaper. My Great Uncle Mac said in the interview, “we were getting messages from an unknown frequency”, I’m paraphrasing.
Another piece of interesting synchronicity is an old friend of mine moved back to WVU and opened a restaurant, some how conversation of hollow earth comes up and come to find out his great grandfather is Admiral Byrd. Can’t make this shit up hahaha.
We both believe this really went down 🤷♂️
I believe you!100%
Alot of negative naysayers in this comment section!!!
I believe in UFOs, Reptilian Humanoids, Mermaids because I've seen them IRL with my own eyes!
Peace from Fiji 💪🏿🏝🇫🇯
I would love a part 2 of hollow earth. I'm having a good time telling my husband half understood ideas while trying to keep a straight face.
You should look up Mr. Mythos and the legend of agartha. He's got 3 different parts where he does an extremely deep dive.
That's what Trump does.
Lemuria was invented by a zoologist as an explanation for why species (Lemurs) in several locations were related. Plate tectonics weren't understood at the time so no one thought that the land peices were once connected a long time ago instead he hypothesized that the places were still connected but the connecting peices sank into the ocean.
And that went on to inspire H.P. Lovecraft to come up with his own sunken content older than man, R'lyeh, and then a bunch of weirdos in the mid-1900’s took Lovecraft and his contemporaries works of what we’d now call urban fantasy too literally.
_The Mound_ from 1929-30 goes into depth on the the structure of K’n-Yan, an underground world beneath the US and inhabited by ancient humans, _The Whisperer in Darkness_ from 1930 also touched briefly on the underground world, alluding to places called Yoth and N’kai near K’n-Yan along with focusing heavily on a race of alien beings coming to earth and abducting people who’s work interested them.
Like seriously, half of weird conspiracy theories can trace their roots back to Lovecraft or one of his contemporaries.
@@joshuahadams Conpiracy theorists could at least mix it up and use some lesser known inspiration like Madam Blavatsky or something. They have no imagination lol
I suppose he wasn't wrong then, land does sometimes get swallowed by the ocean and new land is created.
Zealandia is a sub content. I live on it in a place called New Zealand 🇳🇿
You're missing like 400 meters of water being added to the oceans after the last ice age. He was suggesting that the higher elevation areas became the islands we see today, and that the lower elevation areas are underwater now. It's a reasonable theory, the islands could have been connected by land bridges making one larger land mass.
The Mystery Science Theater 3000 episode with "The Mole People" is a great companion watch for this one.
The captioning software used for these videos never ceases to disappoint.

For love or hate someone pls Pin these comments on your videos.
I would love to see a debate between flat earthers and hollow earthers. A literal meeting of the mindless!
I had that thought as well. 🤣
Social media is a literal meeting of the mindless.
Morons.
Hollow double sided coin earth is the TRUE earth.
You guys are just dumb, obviously there's multiple layers
Pointless but very needed
Of all the ridiculous conspiracy theories, I think this is one of the more entertaining ones that are just fun to imagine/think about.
"I want to go to the north pole to study penguins" will in fact get you laughed out of town. Penguins are a southern hemisphere family.
I came here from the audio-only podcast to tell you thank you for the audio-only option. For so many reasons, I need audio-only versions of things in my life and far too few creators do that. Thank you.
I hate podcasts lol. I listen to Simon audio-only on CZcams 😂😂
@@MorganHorse That's completely within your right. What I want is the choice.
The progression of Simon's profanity is absolutely fantastic!
That's a good notion for how to identify authors.... if they wrote more than one thing. Something like Seaborn's record of his trip may well have been the only thing published by that person. With it having been written as far back as it was, we can't even make the assumption that we have other kinds of writing from whomstever wrote it, since it may just have been some private letters that have become moth food or something by now.
When I was a child Santa fell off my roof, next thing I knew me and my father were spirited to the North Pole. Slowly my father took the place of Santa, becoming Santa himself. Over the years I visited the North Pole numerous times. I can confirm there is definitely NO giant hole at the North Pole leading to the center of the earth.
The Santa Clause.
We all know your dad destroyed agartha and put in place that dumb north pole village. You can fool us Charlie!
I love you
Fun fact: Edward Bulwer-Lytton (the Vril guy) unleashed another calamity on this world - he was the first to put "It was a dark and stormy night" on paper and coined several widely overused phrases, like "the pen is mightier than the sword" and "pursuit of the almighty dollar" among others
There is a literary contest named after Bulwer-Lytton, where the goal is to write the worst opening line possible. 😂
>> consider this! The pen is mightier than etc>>> S }}}}} words }}} Swords!!
@@grandcrowdadforde6127 why did you find it necessary to comment that gibberish? You've added nothing to the conversation.
>> b/c as hard FACTs this is nonsense...pffft@@Hellheart
@@grandcrowdadforde6127 more gibberish. Don't fuckin tag me in nonsense comments, little girl.
As someone who has been to the North Pole thrice, I can confidently tell you it's bloody easy to end up at the east pole by mistake. Subvet84 must have visited the east pole. Done it plenty of times myself when planning a visit to the giants. I arrive with freshly baked scones to share, open the hatch and play a tune on my pan pipes then yell 'ohhhh giants, it's ya mate Simo from the outside earth and I've got scones!' Then the cold air hits my face and it dawns on me 'get farked I better not be at the farkin east bloody pole' I gaze out and see the ice 'No way, I've done it again haven't I? Yep now me farkin scones are gunna be stale by the time I see the giants. They hate stale scones those giants. Word of advice - if they aren't fresh just throw the farkers out. It's not worth the drama trust me.
Took a right at albuquerque
This reminds me of Terry Pratchett
That's farkin awesome
😂😂😂 underrated
The most underrated comment on this page. Holy shit 🤣☠️
Correction: Mammoths went extinct about 4000 years ago, around the same time the Pyramids were being built, because they found fossils on an isolated island. But you know... still outside the magma ball inside the earth.
I remember this tv show called Dinotopia. A bunch of kids accidentally find Agartha basically. It's from the 90s.
Clearly one of the entrances to the Hollow Earth is in the Bermuda Triangle. And all the missing boats and planes are in it along with the Loch Ness Monster who also has a portal in its Loch. And there's definitely a portal in England. That's where the big cats go and that's where Agatha Christie vanished to for several days. And Peter Bergman came from there, and Kate Yup vanished there. It explains every mystery.
Open and shut folks this guy has solved it all
are you smoking crack? are you are you
That's probably where Tupac and Elvis been hanging out all these years too
@@anngo4140 clearly. How could such great musicians turn down moving to the center of the earth? They are superior beings just like the center of the Earth people are.
@@bboops23 both kinda overrated tho
Simon effortlessly decoding the unknown, effortlessly bringing light to shadow, and effortlessly adding personality.
But not effortlessly pronouncing effortlessly.
Effortlessly indeed
Amazing. I have to agree with that.
Effortlessly hiding his hangover....
Effortletletlestly
The weirdest thing is that the same people who believe aliens are coming are saying there can't be anything hidden underneath the earth. That's crazy to me.
“A man with only intellect is a lost man in a wise world”
Here is the original refecend quote by Sir Terry: “Elves are wonderful. They provoke wonder.
Elves are marvellous. They cause marvels.
Elves are fantastic. They create fantasies.
Elves are glamorous. They project glamour.
Elves are enchanting. They weave enchantment.
Elves are terrific. They beget terror.
The thing about words is that meanings can twist just like a snake, and if you want to find snakes look for them behind words that have changed their meaning.
No one ever said elves are nice.
Elves are bad.”
Haha! I wondered how that prose would end. Yes, there is no such thing as a "good" elf! For sure!!
I absolutely love this content. Simon is a great personality made greater by great writers and packaged nicely with great editors. Good work I love it.
I second this emotion.
I'll third it as well.
Mate, this episode is trash just like this channel has become. It's desperately quick research topics to meet Simon's schedule. It's not unbiased reporting, it's just an echo chamber for Simon's ego.
That's exactly what a government cover up specialist would say.
Thanks :)
This is a truly genius production All the pieces fit and work together tremendously the only problem is Simon is so sharp you can't be hammered by your listening to him or you'll miss half the things he says
I love hearing about these weird stories, myths, and lost histories. I use "histories" very loosely here.
Aliens and the Nazca Lines, the lost Atlantis, and the giants of Tartaria (sp?)... Just all so fun to get lost in. Like a corn maze. Only there are some who never make it out of the maze (the corn starts talking to them).
“Our Big Brains” “We should be better than that” 😂😂😂 you are a comedian
Simon, you crack me up 😂.
Have you dived into the missing 411 thing yet?
That one might work better as an Into the Shadows episode, honestly.
@@RHCole True. Still, I’d love for him to give it a whirl!
The missing 411 thing is really really unsettling, it will change your view of the forest for sure, as it should
@Cancer McAids But it's real missing persons cases and as such I feel it should be handled with actual respect.
@@psycho6542 I’ve camped out my whole life (over 50 years) in different places. I have never seen or heard anything out of the ordinary. The mountains give me much needed peace and calm. I do watch out for natural predators though. They exist, but are way more afraid of us than we are of them. I have seen a few mountain lions. One was a big Tom going to water. He hid when he saw us. And coyotes are out there. They yip and walk right pass our camps all the time. They are such chickens. So don’t let these stories keep you from enjoying the beautifies of our earth. But be aware of your surroundings. Know that bears get more aggressive right before hibernation, and right after they just wake up in the spring. Take a good dog, or a gun along while hiking, and know where the heck you are and where you’re going. Go with others if you’re going like g distance. But do t be afraid.
Imagine how terrible things might be going without these underground watchers benevolently keeping us on the path of peace and love.
I’d like to have a word with the underground watchers’ manager, I have some grievances to report.
*true...we should thank them if only they would let their presents known*
is it not the opposite if this is more than mere theory? i.e. draconian influence via war and politics.
Once again, I am drawn in by the hilarity of the 'other Simon' who quipps, chuckles, side-tories and otherwise dissects the DTE script in a most entertaining way. This read could not be done more effectively by anyone else...reading off of an iPad no less! Priceless
I genuinely love these videos. Simons' scornful sarcasm is hilarious 😂
Simon should do a deep dive into why Americans like British accents
Deep colonial longing?
Don't be mad at everything
Just a bit odd, init ?
Most Americans don’t we find it quite annoying.
It would find that Americans hate the accent. Lmao
Everything I ever wanted to know about the hollow Earth theory was discussed by an overenthusiastic professor during the intro to the Sci-FI movie, "The Mole People" (Universal 1956)
*who also appeared in the brilliant and highly accurate and realistic Jerry Warren movie/film classic the Wild World of Batwoman*
I’m listening to this on a speaker as my protective phone case doesn’t let sound out and you keep activating my Siri 🤣🤣🤣🤣 pauses the video every time.
When I was like 5 or 6 years old my dad told me a version of this hollow earth story in a fairytale style. It was a bit different though, there wasn’t an inverted earth but a second globe hovering in the center of earth. I really got fascinated by that story and later Jules Verne‘s voyage to the center of the earth was one of my favorite of his stories. I always liked reading/watching stuff about this kind of conspiracy stuff, it’s like a bunch of stupid sci-fi or something. Nothing one would actually believe (if one isn’t completely mad) but these are funny stories to enjoy, like legends and fairytales(and to laugh at those really believing them).
I love how elaborate these stories are then they get tripped up on small details like not knowing that the Maya and Inca are not interchangeable 😂😂
Ilze thank you and I love you for quoting Terry Pratchett!! He’s one of my favorite authors too and that was one of my favorite books!!! If you’ve read Lord and Ladies but haven’t read Wee Free Men or The Shepherd’s Crown, the Fae make a reappearance in both of them and the story comes full circle! Honestly Terry Pratchett was a god of writing among men and I miss him every day ❤❤❤
Pratchett. One of the greatest minds in any field. And your fandom speaks for you, as well.
Congratulations!
Wee free men is my favourite Terry Pratchett book. 😊
@@whothegnuareyou8682 so gooooood!!! So formative!!! I was a camp counselor for a summer and one of my campers was reading Wee Free Men. I was so happy I wanted to cry, like finding out I had a little sister ❤️ I wrote out all the rest of the series so she would be able to find them when she went home ❤️ I hope she’s gotten to read them all and watch Tiffany grow up too ❤️ frick I need to go read them again now 🥲
Best storyteller ever.
In the region of the 19th century romantics, on a steep sandstone rock, stepping up Houska Castle. According to legends, it was built as a protection against the forces of hell, which came to the surface through a large hole in the rock. Once the local lord there decided to lower the hellish convicts into that hole. They picked him up after a while, but while they were lowering the young man, they pulled up the shaken old man. They then decided to fill up the hole and build a castle around it. You can find it in the Bohemia.
I'm quite enjoying this channel partly because the segments are longer. I'm in awe of Simon's reading skills, I would need multiple do-overs 🥴
Simon, you should do a TopTenz of your tangents. Some of them are totally out there.
Lovely one, Ilze. Pratchett is my favorite too.
38:00 - a guy I know literally just invented an app to do that with paintings and reconfirmed a Rembrandt thought to be one of his students! was in the news paper and everything :D
Having met the Mammoth Cave tour guides, I can totally see them telling this story. As fictional lore, though. They are great story spinners.
I will argue with you on the oracle front: ancient oracles were not (just) crazy or frauds. Often times, they were also high off their gourds.
And often they were neither, and knew the way to play the game to get the ear of the wealthy and powerful, like those who advised Greek and Roman rulers on policy. Many were pretty highly respected and seemed to have a high standard of living for their time. Though this doesn't hold true across the board, it seems to have been the case in many instances. And honestly, good for them. Lol
Also being used essentially as slaves sometimes. I wouldn't want to be an Oracle back in those days.
@@GameTimeWhy Where/when were oracles held as slaves? I'm not trying to imply you're wrong; I'm not familiar with them being so low-class anywhere. I'd be interested if you know of any reading on the subject.
@@semaj_5022 well maybe not slave but I had read about elders keeping the young nubile oracles drugged up. That was a decade or two ago though so I don't remember many specifics now.
@@GameTimeWhy I can see that being possible. I know most apprenticeships and the like back in ancient Greece at least operated as master/servant sexual relationship as well as teacher/student. The student was entirely subservient to the teacher and often required to fulfill sexual requests as well as look after their teacher as a servant, so I could see acolytes or novice oracles or priests or whatnot having similar dynamics with their elders.
it's like story time, sarcasm and history telling all in one
The giants revealed a magic secret when they held there sword aloft and said “ I have the power”.
"...and this one time, at band camp..."😂
Oh, how I love Simon, his sceptic brain and his tangents
More tangents than a geometry textbook and at much more engaging angles!
the hallow earth theory is one of my favorite theories because it's really creative, like a whole world with a sky underneath the ground
(Response to 20:25) The geographical North & South Pole are not arbitrary or set by humankind using lat and long lines. Quite the opposite as the geo poles are the centered point of the axis on which the Earth spins. We decided to use these centered points of spin to create our modern mapping system with said lines.
Simon: "an entire continent could never disappear!"
Zealandia: *exists*
I have been to Mammoth Cave many times ... at the bottom there's some flood lights and a nice cafeteria for school tours
Awesome did you get to see mummy joe cave
Danny, when your done cleaning the basement. Please do a story on the study of volcanos. Once had a vulcano expert explain how we know the size of the magma core.
I'm not sure why but I laughed my ass off this episode.
BRAVO!
With the way technology is today, I was really curious to see how people can still believe in this.
As someone who is close to Mammoth Cave in KY, I have NEVER heard about it being a gate to Agartha. To the point I had to rewind the video to make sure he actually said "Mammoth Cave in Kentucky".
Hey Simon I'm a big fan. Your content is super entertaining and informative. Keep up the good work man!
So as for your "who wrote the book" question, IARPA recently announced a "Linguistic Fingerprint Technology" program which is kinda the same idea. But it's more focused on who exactly is writing not so great content/reports/etc that the US isn't happy about, rather than who wrote old weird books. Point is, the tech is there or will be soon.
Just for your amusement, my Apple smart speaker answered both questions to Siri you asked. 😂😂
I first came across this theory in HP Lovecraft stories. "At the Mountains of Madness" is especially worth a read if you haven't seen it before.
Wait a second, I’ve read almost all of Lovecraft’s works (many multiple times) and there’s a lot of crazy stuff but the Hollow Earth is not one of them. ‘Mountains of Madness’ had underground tunnels and a hidden city, but that wasn’t the Hollow Earth.
@@--enyo-- I may have misread it (or don’t understand what hollow earth is saying) but there’s three Lovecraft stories that I thought were this. Mountains has the underground ocean the Elder Things dug down to, then there was the one about a ruined city in the desert where the protagonist walks down to some glowing inner world, and finally the one about the Spanish Conquistador who had lived in an underground world which apparently was connected to a pair of deeper worlds - blue-lit, red-lit, and unlit respectively. Maybe I don’t get this stuff, but I thought that was what hollow earth is.
@@tomhutchins7495 "the nameless city" the reader on horror babble has a voice that just puts me out. i've heard the beginning of it a bunch of times, but i always fall asleep before the end.
@@tomhutchins7495 the way i read it there are cities, tunnels, caverns etc in Lovecrafts work but not a hollow earth per say, more just underground areas much like in actual reality, huge cave systems etc.
@@mta4562 should try reading his work its really good
20:25 Geographic poles are the stationary points of the rotation of the Earth (in a model of the globe, where the handle is attached). Magnetic poles are where the magnetic lines converge. The current theory is that magnetic field is create by the rotation of the metals inside the liquid outer core causing vortex or vortices. Due to the rotation of the Earth this will be usually relatively close to the geographic pole, but it might be affected by other factors.
When sci-fi fans go rogue, the world collectively face palms.
When the world goes rogue we get useless lockdowns mask use and covid shots. Bet you're on the 4th already
My favorite found Manuscript Story is "The Call of C'thulhu" :)
Gave out one of my rare likes for this one! great job guys. didnt even realize id been watching an hour till simon was like "its well over an hour" which means i was fairly well engaged the whole way through. and thats hard for a video to do, as i have adhd and generally cant handle more than 20 or 30 minute videos. Awesome!
I'm in same boat, but I find interesting videos easier to watch more then an hour then 5 minutes of many others.
Simon, my oldest daughter (10) recently told my wife that most of her friends at school seem to be religious and that she thinks it’s “really silly that so many people really think there’s a sky dad watching what you do all the time.” 🤣
Edgy
I've been "religious" my whole life. Until I was in my late teens my dad would put me to bed and I'd say my prayers with him. I still pray everyday. I'm Lutheran, but haven't been to a church service in years.
There's nothing wrong with believing in a higher power or not believing in one. My mom says "I'd rather believe in God and be proven wrong than the opposite".
I actually spend time talking to my late grandmas for guidance. It's a comfort thing at this point.
God is not a sky dad. He is everything there is and more..
They've been brain washed :)
Oh that's an adorable way to be sensible!
*polar bears and penguins are on different ends of the earth. Polar bears are in the Arctic, coming from Greek word “arktos” which means “bear”. Penguins live in Antarctica, with “Ant” being derived from “anti,” meaning opposite. Not only is the Arctic on the opposite side of the planet as Antarctica is, the term “Antarctica” also means “anti bear” to demote that there are no bears on the continent of the South Pole
Agartha is also a badass Miles Davis album, which I'm going to pause this video to go listen to.
Also, you don't realize how crowded the earth is until you try to get changed in your car
I always get unduly excited for these really long decoding the unknowns. Both learning *why* people decided to believe in such conjectural hogwash and the tangents are just top notch content.
There are people out there that say the same thing about you. Dont judge.
*factual evidence brought to you by puff, puff pass*
Why do the Gov'ts prevent everyone from going near the poles?
@@roris5882 They literally don't. You can pay and go to the Amundsen-Scott station, and several TV shows have gone there for touristy purposes, including iirc Bizarre Foods. There's not really anything *at* the North Pole, but they didn't stop Top Gear from driving some goddamn trucks to it as a challenge.
And if you don't believe the many, MANY books and accounts by explorers and modern video-taped ones, you're clearly not interested in evidence and have merely chosen to believe something and deny the crushing mountain of empirical data. If that's the case, I cannot help you because you've chosen belligerent ignorance.
@@BruceBoyde Simon is cringe af.
Sclater was a zoologist studying the lemurs of Madagascar. Continental drift wasn't known at that time, and seeing so many different species of lemurs in India, Africa and the very isolated Madagascar, he concluded that they must have all been joined up in the past (which is actually correct!). He named the unknown continent that joined these places, Lemuria. With hindsight we understand this to be false, but in his day, it made sense.
The Amelia Earhart reference made that ST: Voyager episode pop up in my mind. 😂😂
It is so weird I'm having another one of those your phone is listening moments because I swear I literally just started watching an anime about this exact subject "Endoraido" or "Endride".
Hey Whistlemiester, and team. Great work, I always enjoy watching your stuff.
@12:50 I'm very confused about the Stargate vs Star Trek thing. Stargate had a very specific mandate that they were not allowed to steal from the cultures they encountered, because they wanted allies more than they wanted their stuff. There was a whole episode about it.
Quick tangent. I've met Admiral Byrd's daughter, Bolling Byrd. My grandfather, Harold Borns, Jr., was a longtime friend of the family. He was a quaternary glaciologist that studied in Antarctica dozens of times.
I believe it all and I'm starting a fund raiser to go search for this way into the hollow earth. I'm calling it Gullible's Travels.
Cool and we sit, have a beer 🍺 and laugh at those who believe this hollow earth crap ✌😉
The whole thing about Shambhala being an “inner” world is hilarious. It’s a world within your own being. Within consciousness. Not within the physical reality and within earth. Such a hilarious and tragic loss in translation
Fact Boy is starting to look more and more fancy with his dress. I fully expect to see him with a fancy pipe and smoking jacket soon enough.
Simon: "who is bird?"
Me: haven't you heard? The bird is the word"
1)Shambala
Song by Three Dog Night
2)Lightning Crashes

Oh, now I feel it comin' back again
Like a rollin' thunder chasing the wind
Forces pullin' from the center of the earth again
I can feel it
3) I heard that during ancient Egypt Wooly Mammoths still existed. Scientists want to bring Wooly Mammoths back to life.
20:26 The geographic poles aren't arbitrary -- the line that can be drawn through them is the axis of Earth's rotation.
The magnetic poles move because they're generated by Earth's molten core which sloshes around a bit as it spins and the core's axis meanders around the surface's axis.
Also, there are no penguins at the North Pole. They're almost exclusively in the southern hemisphere, except for one species on the Galapagos Islands (that straddle the equator).
Poleshift would cause it to move
Love this channel and the 500 others Simon has! I couldn’t get used to the crazy sounds in this video though! Seemed a bit random.
😂 loved the story ... equally enjoyed your style of reading. Made the story all the more enjoyable, with some laughs thrown in 👏👏👏👏
I want to see a hollow earth vs flat earth debate 😂
