Talk:Hollow Earth

Agartha Conspiracy Theory

Hollow Earth also recurs in conspiracy theories such as the underground kingdom of Agartha and is often said to be inhabited by mythological figures or political leaders.

Why is this labeled as a conspiracy theory? The Agartha article simply referrers to this as a legend. 57.135.233.22 (talk) 22:17, 4 November 2023 (UTC)

Additional sources in an old version of "cryptoterrestrial_hypothesis"

The topic "Cryptoterrestrial_hypothesis" now redirects to this article. It had some reference which could be used here. They would be accessible in this older version. Johnjbarton (talk) 02:53, 23 October 2024 (UTC)

Adolf Hitler

Hitler believed in the world ice theory not concave earth theory. It was Hermman Goring that sent the expedition. Salvation Front (talk) 00:45, 20 December 2025 (UTC)

Let us know when you have a source for that. Johnjbarton (talk) 02:39, 20 December 2025 (UTC)

Very haphazard article

the "history" section contains a lot of fictional accounts including science fiction writings. I was almost surprised to find Jules Verne properly placed within the fiction section, but many other non-scientific writings were not placed worh fiction. I don't think the lines are that blurred that one can't tell where thimgs should be placed. Dante, for instance, is writing an allegorical story; clearly fiction, not "science history". All the works referenced need to have similar questions asked and them placed into their proper category. It will make for much cleaner reading. Then the list of fiction books (including Amazing Stories; how on earth did that rate as science?) will be more entertaining for those just looking for a good book to read.

"Non-fiction" is a literary genre. Ellen G. White's works are considered non-fiction, because they are theology. Although, ultimately and objectively seen, theology is fiction. tgeorgescu (talk) 13:39, 3 August 2026 (UTC)

The History is chronological; ultimately its all fiction. There is no specific reason to exclude fiction from History as long as its character is represented according to sources.

Actually I think it is "Contrary evidence" that is improper. This section appears to be 100% original research. The content of "Contrary evidence" is not scientific studies designed to refute "Hollow Earth" but claims that Wikipedia editors believe refute Hollow Earth.

Can you be more specific? What is wrong with the sources? ~2026-48891-58 (talk) 15:30, 9 September 2026 (UTC)

• Davies, R. D. (Sep 1985). "A Commemoration of Maskelyne at Schiehallion". Quarterly Journal of the Royal Astronomical Society. 26 (3): 289. I was not able to find anything in this source about "Hollow Earth". Thus any inclusion of this source is an editorial judgement, not a verification.
• Zee, Anthony (2013). Einstein Gravity in a Nutshell. In a Nutshell Series (1st ed.). Princeton: Princeton University Press. p. 33. ISBN 978-0-691-14558-7. This source has an appendix "Where is hell?" but it does not verify any of the content in the paragraph it was added to.
• Lowrie, W.; Fichtner, A. (2020). Fundamentals of geophysics. Cambridge university press. p. 186. I could not find anything about Hollow Earth in this work. I believe the citation is related to the numbers in the WP:OR content.
• "The Interior of the Earth". pubs.usgs.gov. Retrieved 1 November 2015. Similarly says nothing about Hollow Earth.

etc.

Like I said, the section was invented, not sourced. I think the section should be deleted. Similar content could be built out of Zee and the Kollerstam history paper. Johnjbarton (talk) 04:36, 10 September 2026 (UTC)
