An absolutely fascinating read. The author uses many scientific anomolies to support his views. If he is correct in his beliefs of an entire civilization inside the earth, then all of the human race has been bamboozled by the scientific and government communities on a global scale.

An absolute non-believer in most,(if not all) conspiracy theories, I believe then, that there is a possibility of the veracity of his views, if not the probability. At any rate, a mentally exhilirating read!

This is an awesome book. Really convincing. I loved it. Fits in with all I have read in the past so it is probably right on.

Now we know why no one talks about this, and everyone thinks the Earth is solid and the North and South Poles are where they said they are! Right, read this book and find out something so interesting it is no wonder the discovery of Admiral Richard E. Byrd's discovery was hushed up. But, the reality is the truth will always come out and this is one of those books. Do yourself a favor and get a copy as fast as you can before it is no longer available and read it.

I recommend this book highly. I initially heard about the idea of the hollow Earth from a passage in Dr. Joshua Stone's books. Dr Bernard gives much evidence to prove his premise. In the beginning, there is some repetition, but stay with it, because you will be well-rewarded.
I don't find this hard to believe because I realize there are countless occasions throughout history wherein we have come to discover that what we had been told was the truth, was in fact not. Well, this is the case with the Hollow Earth. In fact, if you have ever read David Icke, you will know just how much of our agreed-upon "reality" is simply not what it seems.
The Earth is hollow with a central inner sun,as are probably all planets , and has openings at both "poles". The pole in itself is questionable as there are no objects as such , instead huge 1000-mile wide concave openings. Explorers who claim to have reached the poles have in fact only reached the rim of these openings.
There is a warm land beyond the farthest northern reaches - the inner Earth. Animals have been noted to migrate northward towards this region instead of going south. Blocks of ice which have been found containing animals such as Wooly Mammoths intact with fresh grass in their stomachs were once thought to be prehistoric animals. No. They still exist in the Hollow Earth and find their way from the inner rivers out to the openings while grazing and get frozen by the colder temperatures at the rim.

The book refers to Navy Admiral Richard Byrd who flew into the Hollow Earth and witnessed a wonderful land of greenery, animals, lakes , a central sun and a continually temperate climate.

The Inner Earth is often called "Agharta" and is peopled with peaceful and loving beings far advanced beyond us. Comparatively we are still barbarians.

The legends of all civilizations contain references to this land. In Norse myths, it is called "Valhalla", in Tibetan tales, it is called "Shangri-La"...the Greeks called it "Mount Olympus" and the "Elysian Fields", the Celts called it "Dananda" and so on...
When Atlantis was destroyed the Atlanteans escaped to the inner Earth through the massive tunnel system which crisscrosses the Earth and extends under the oceans. Many openings are found in the mountains of Brazil.
The famous case of Colonel Fawcett and his son Jack who went missing in the 19th c. in Brazil is suggested to have been because they entered the Inner Earth and remained by choice. Who can blame them ?!

The beings of Agharta may be the descendants of the Atlanteans, the Lemurians and the Hyporboreans.

Another interesting argument the author makes is that the origins of UFOs comes from inside the Earth. He is convincing in this.

This book is full of fascinating ideas and whether you are convinced or not, reading it will be well worth your time.
Cheers!

The story is based on early 1900's exploration and research and must have been interesting and even plausable at that time. In a modern world of satelites, etc. the tale is in need of recent supporting evidence, which of course, doesn't exist.

I had this book on my shelf for years before I finally bit the bullet and read it. It wasn't easy. This is one poorly written book. As anther reviewer points out, it is mainly the same sentence typed over and over again. Apparently Dr. Bernard believes the real way to make your case is to beat the reader senseless with the same statement, over and over. Well, it worked for the KGB in Russia. I'm not going to pretend that much of this book stayed with me. I've forgotten most of it. I'm just very proud that I had the self discipline to sit down and actually READ this awful thing from cover to cover. But hey, that's nothing. I read "Melmoth the Wanderer" all the way through TWICE! Beat That!

This book was poorly bound and printed. Looks like something done at home with a copier. The type is really bad, looks like it was done on a typewrier (an old typewrier!) No proper editing, layout etc. really not worth the money even if you are interested in the premise, (or just want a good chuckle)..

Relies heavily on the discredited diary of Robert Byrd and has so many scientific inaccuracies that it is not really a good yarn. Nobody withj a brain could accualy believe this nonse3mse but it is interesting to read it and wonder if there are people so gullible.

It doesn't say so anywhere, but the 1969 Dell paperback edition of Bernard's "Hollow Earth" has been edited and abridged from the earlier hardcover edition. Somewhat. I can't give absolute, definite details, because the hardcover I read a few years ago was a library book, and the local library no longer has it. I seem to recall that the hardcover had a photo/illustration section, and this paperback doesn't (not a big deal, there wasn't anything that noteworthy in it); I also, definitely, recall a passage in the hardcover where "Bernard" (the author's name was actually Walter Siegmeister, "Raymond Bernard" is a pen name) described the migrations of arctic wildlife for two pages, then revealed that he'd gotten that information from another writer -- "who says..." -- and he repeated the whole two pages over, word for word, which I found very annoying. That's been cleaned up in the paperback. In fact, I found the hardcover to be the most poorly-written book I'd ever read, full of repetition and Bernard's crankishly insistent statements interjected into quotes from other writers. The paperback is still not a great book, but it doesn't sound quite as much as if it were penned by a complete crank. It's still plenty repetitive--for example, Admiral Byrd's famous or infamous statement "I'd like to see that land beyond the pole. That area beyond the pole is the center of the great unknown." is quoted by Bernard, several times, and in addition he quotes other writers quoting Byrd, so we get "the land beyond the pole" at least seven times in the first 30 pages. There's plenty of other repeatedly-repeated material, as well.

If you're really, really interested in Bernard and the Hollow Earth mythos, you owe it to yourself to search out a copy of Walter Kafton-Minkel's SUBTERRANEAN WORLDS, which has a full chapter on Bernard/Siegmeister, and a superb look at a whole spectrum of other books, individuals, cults, and ideas. Bernard was a complex and thus interesting character; at times kind of a con man or swindler, but a wholehearted believer in a paradise hidden away in the Earth's center, who was conned and swindled himself by various people claiming to have information about it. Bernard's paradise was vegetarian, celibate, and required no toil; a particularly personal utopia.

A book you can skip is David Standish's HOLLOW EARTH. It's basically a rehash of SUBTERRANEAN WORLDS, but with a lot less attention to "speculative fact"/hollow earth believers, and a whole lot more space (over half the book) devoted to novels, and Standish thinks he's real clever and has lots of fun ridiculing the "wacky, daffy crackpots" -- who were generally, like I said about Bernard/Siegmeister, more complicated and thus more interesting than that.

This book is, to me, filled with vital information, but was hard to read as it was very poorly written, disconnected and boring in its presentation. Otherwise, the information, as I said, is important for all of us living on the earth to know at this time of transition and awakening to what has been concealed from the main stream.

ask your self this, what are the gravity forces of the center of the earth. You must agree that gravity would be zero. If gravity is zero it would seem that the center would be hollow, consider a molton inter core and centripical force it even makes more sence. Why would anyone clain the earth core is solid? Good book!
