               The Greatest Geographical Discovery in History

                  By Dr. Raymond Bernard  A.B., M.A. Ph.D.



   Such an important discovery, which Byrd called "the most important" 
in the history of the world, should have been known to everyone, if 
information about it was not suppressed to such an extent that it was 
almost completely forgotten until Giannini mentioned it in his book 
"Worlds Beyond the Poles," published in New York in 1959.  Similarly, 
Giannini's book, for some strange reason, was not advertised by the 
publisher and remained unknown.

   At the end of the same year, 1959, Ray Palmer, editor of "Flying 
Saucers" magazine, gave publicity to Admiral Byrd's discovery, about 
which he learned in a copy of Giannini's book he read. He was so much 
impressed that in December of that year he published this information 
in his magazine, which was for sale on newsstands throughout the United 
States. Then followed a series of strange incidents, indicating that 
secret forces were at work to prevent the information contained in the 
December issue of "Flying Saucers" magazine, derived from Giannini's 
book, from reaching the public.  

   Who are these secret forces that have a special reason to suppress 
the release of information about Admiral Byrd's great discovery of new
land areas not on any map. Obviously, they are the same forces that 
suppressed news release of information, except for a brief press 
notice, after Byrd made his great discovery and before Giannini 
published the first public statement about it in many years, in 1959, 
twelve years after the discovery was made.

   Palmer's announcement of Byrd's discoveries in the Arctic and 
Antarctic was the first large scale publicity since the time they were 
made and briefly announced, and so much more significant than Giannini's 
quotations and statements in his book that was not properly advertised 
and enjoyed a limited sale. For this reason, soon after the  December,  
1959  issue of "Flying Saucers" was ready to mail to subscribers and 
placed on newsstands, it was mysteriously removed from circulation - 
evidently by the same secret forces that suppressed the public release 
of this information since 1947.  When the truck arrived to deliver 
the magazines from the printer to the publisher, no magazines were 
found in the truck! A phone call by the publisher (Mr. Palmer) to the 
printer resulted in his not finding any shipping receipt proving 
shipment to have been made. The magazines having been paid for, the 
publisher asked that the printer return the plates to the press and 
run off the copies due.  But, strangely, the plates were not 
available, and were so badly damaged that no re-printing could be made. 

   But where were the thousands of magazines that had been printed and 
mysteriously disappeared? Why was there no shipping receipt? If it was 
lost and the magazines were sent to the wrong address, they would turn
up somewhere. But they did not.

   As a result, 5000 subscribers did not get the magazine. One 
distributor who received 750 copies to sell on his newsstand was 
reported missing, and 750 magazines disappeared with him. These 
magazines were sent to him with the request that they be returned if 
not delivered. They did not come back. Since the magazine disappeared  
completely, several months later it was republished and sent to 
subscribers.

   What did this magazine contain that caused it to be suppressed in 
this manner  -  by  invisible  nd secret forces? It contained a report 
of Admiral Byrd's flight beyond the North Pole in 1947, knowledge 
concerning which was previously suppressed except for mention of it 
in Giannini's book, "Worlds Beyond the Poles." The December, 1959 issue  
of "Flying Saucers" was obviously considered as dangerous by the 
secret forces that had a special reason to withhold this information 
from the world and keep it secret.  In this issue of "Flying Saucers," 
the following statements were quoted from Giannini's book:

    "Since December 12, 1929, U.S. Navy polar expeditions have 
    determined the existence of indeterminable land extent beyond 
    the Pole points.
    
    "On January 13, 1956, as this book was being prepared, a U.S. 
    air unit penetrated to the extent of 2,300 miles beyond the 
    assumed South Pole end of the earth. That flight was always over 
    land and water and ice. For very substantial reasons, the 
    memorable flight received negligible press notice.

    "The United States and more than thirty other nations prepared 
    unprecedented polar expeditions for 1957-1958 to penetrate land 
    now proved to extend beyond both Pole points.  My original 
    disclosure of then unknown land beyond the Poles, in 1926-1928, 
    was captioned by the press as `more daring than anything Jules 
    Verne ever conceived' Then Giannini quoted the following 
    statements by Admiral Byrd we have presented above:
    
    "1947: February. `I'd like to see that land beyond the Pole. That 
    area beyond the  Pole is the center of the great unknown.' - Rear  
    Admiral Richard E. Byrd, United States Navy, before his seven-hour 
    flight over land beyond the North Pole.
   
    "1956: January 13. `On January 13, members of the United States 
    expedition accomplished a flight of 2,700 miles from the base at 
    McMurdo Sound, which is 400 miles west of the South Pole, and 
    penetrated a land extent of 2,300 miles beyond the Pole.' - Radio 
    announcement, confirmed by press of February 5.

    "1956: March 13. `The present expedition has opened up a vast new 
    land' - Admiral Byrd, after returning from the Land beyond the 
    South Pole.

    "1857: `That enchanting continent in the sky, land of everlasting 
    mystery' - Admiral Byrd."  
    
   No attention was given by the scientific world to Giannini's book. 
The strange and revolutionary geographical theory it presented was 
ignored as eccentric rather than scientific. Yet Admiral Byrd's 
statements only make sense if some such conception of the existence of 
"land beyond the Poles," as Giannini claimed to exist, is accepted. 
Giannini writes:

    "There is no physical end of the Earth's northern and southern 
    extremities. The Earth cannot be circumnavigated north and south 
    within the meaning of the word, `circumnavigate.' However, 
    certain `round the world' flights have contributed to the popular 
    misconception that the Earth has been circumnavigated north and 
    south.
    
    "`Over the North Pole,' with return to the North Temperate Zone 
    areas, without turning around, can never be accomplished because 
    there is no northern end of the Earth. The same conditions hold 
    true for the South Pole.

    "The existence of worlds beyond the Poles has been confirmed by 
    United States Naval exploration during the past thirty years.  
    The confirmation is substantial.  The world's eldest explorer, 
    Rear Admiral Richard Evelyn Byrd commanded the government's 
    memorable expedition into that endless land beyond the South Pole. 
    Prior to his departure from San Francisco he delivered the momentous
    radio announcement, `This is the most important expedition in the 
    history of the world.' The subsequent January 13, 1956 penetration 
    of land beyond the Pole to the extent of 2,300 miles proved that 
    the Admiral had not been exaggerating."

   Commenting on Giannini's statements about the impossibility of going 
straight north, over the North Pole and reaching the other side of the 
world, which would be the case if the Earth was convex, rather than 
concave, at the Pole, Palmer writes in his magazine, "Flying Saucers:"

    "Many of the readers stated that commercial flights continually 
    cross the Pole and fly to the opposite side of the Earth. This is 
    not true, and though the Airline officials themselves, when asked, 
    might say that they do, it is not literally true.  They do make 
    navigational maneuvers which automatically eliminate a flight 
    beyond the Pole in a straight line, in every sense. Ask the pilots 
    of these polar flights.  And when they come to the exact point, 
    name one trans-polar flight on which you can buy a ticket which 
    actually crosses the North Pole.

    "Examining the route of flights across the North Polar area we 
    always find that they go around the Pole or to the side of it and 
    never directly across it. This is strange.  Surely a flight  
    advertised as passing directly over the North Pole would attract  
    many passengers who would like to have that experience. Yet,
    strangely, no airline offers such a flight. Their air routes 
    always pass on one side of the Pole.  Why? Is it not possible that 
    if they went straight across the Pole, instead of landing on the 
    opposite side of the Earth, the plane would go to that land
    beyond the Pole, `the center of the Great Unknown', as Admiral 
    Byrd called it?"

   Palmer suggests that such an expedition that travels directly north 
and continues north after reaching the North Pole point (which he believes 
is in the center of the polar concavity and not on solid land at all) 
should be organized, retracing Admiral Byrd's route and continuing onward 
in the same direction, until the hollow interior of the earth is reached.  
This, apparently, was never done, in spite of the fact that the United 
States Navy, in its archives, has a record of Admiral Byrd's flights and 
discoveries.  Perhaps the reason for this is that the new geographical
conception of the Earth's formation in the polar regions, which is 
necessary to accept before the true significance of Admiral Byrd's 
findings can be appreciated, was not held by Navy chiefs, who, as a 
result, put the matter aside and forgot about it.

    The above statement by Palmer that commercial airlines do not pass 
over the North Pole seems reasonable in the light of new Soviet 
discoveries in relation to the North Magnetic Pole, which was found not 
to be a point but a long line, which we believe is a circular line, 
constituting the rim of the polar concavity, so that any point on this 
circle could be called the North Magnetic Pole, because here the needle 
of the compass dips directly downward. If this is the case, then it 
would be impossible for airplanes to cross the North Pole, which is in 
the center of the polar depression and not on the Earth's surface, as 
according to the theory of a solid Earth and convex formation on the 
Pole. When airplanes believe they reached the North Pole, according to 
compass readings, they really reach the rim of the polar concavity, 
where is the true North Magnetic Pole.

    Referring to Giannini's book, Palmer comments:

    "The strange book written by Giannini has offered the one 
    possibility by which it can definitely be proved that the Earth is 
    shaped strangely at the North Pole, as we believe it to be at the  
    South Pole, not necessarily with a hole all the way through, but 
    like a doughnut which has swelled so much in cooking that the hole 
    is only a deep depression at each end, or like a gigantic auto tire 
    mounted on a solid hub with recessed hub caps.

    "No human being has ever flown directly over the North Pole and 
    continued straight on.  Your editor thinks it should be done and 
    done immediately. We have the planes to do it. Your editor wants 
    to know for sure whether such a flight would wind up in any of 
    the countries surrounding the North Pole, necessarily exactly
    opposite the starting point.  Navigation is not to be made by the 
    compass or by triangulation on existing maps, but solely by gyro  
    compass on an undeviated straight course from the moment of 
    take-off to the moment of landing. And not only a gyro compass 
    in a horizontal plane, but one in a vertical plane also (after
    one enters the polar opening).  There must be a positive forward 
    motion which cannot be disputed.

   "Everyone knows that a horizontal gyro compass, such as used now, 
   causes a plane to continually gain in elevation as the Earth curves 
   away below it, as it progresses.  Now, according to our theory of 
   polar depression, this would mean that when a plane enters into 
   this depression, the gyro compass should show a much greater gain  
   in  elevation than should otherwise be the case, due to the Earth's 
   curving inward at the North Pole. Now, if the plane continues in a 
   northerly course, this gain in altitude will continue the further 
   it goes; and if the plane tries to maintain the same altitude, it 
   will curve into the hollow interior of the earth."

   The following statements by Giannini, written in a letter to an 
inquirer, who read about him in Palmer's "Flying Saucers" magazine, are 
interesting:

   "The author was extended courtesy by the New York office of U.S. 
   Naval Research, to transmit a radio message of godspeed to Rear 
   Admiral Richard Evelyn Byrd, U.S.N., at his Arctic base in 
   February, 1947.

   "At that time the late Rear Admiral Byrd announced through the 
   press, `I'd like to see the land beyond the Pole.  That land beyond 
   the Pole is the center of the  great unknown.' Subsequently, Admiral 
   Byrd and a naval task force executed a seven hour flight of 1,700 
   miles over land extending beyond the theorized North Pole `end' of 
   the Earth.

    "In January, 1947, prior to the flight, this author was enabled to 
    sell a series of newspaper features to an international feature 
    syndicate only because of this author's assurance to the syndicate 
    director that Byrd would in fact go beyond the imaginary North 
    Pole point.

    "As a result of the author's prior knowledge of the then commonly 
    unknown land extending beyond the pole points, and after the 
    syndicated features had been released to the press, the author was 
    investigated by the office of the U. S. Naval Intelligence.  That 
    Intelligence investigation was due to the fact of Byrd's definite
    confirmation of the author's revolutionary theories.
    
    "Later, in March, 1958, the author delivered a radio address in 
    Missouri, expressing the importance of the discovery of land 
    beyond the imaginary North Pole and South Pole points of archaic 
    theory. "

    Speaking of the reports of Admiral Byrd's February 1947 flight 
    beyond the North Pole, which appeared in New York newspapers, 
    Giannini comments:
    
    "These accounts described Byrd's 1,700 mile flight of seven hours 
    over land and fresh water lakes BEYOND the assumptive North Pole 
    `end' of the Earth. And the dispatches were intensified until a 
    strict censorship was imposed from Washington."
    
   
   Another American writer on flying saucers, Michael X, was impressed 
by Byrd's discoveries, and came to the conclusion that flying saucers 
must come from an advanced civilization in the Earth's interior, whose 
outer fringes Byrd visited. He describes Byrd's trip as follows:

    "There was a strange valley below them. For some strange reason 
    the valley Byrd saw was not ice-covered, as it should have been. 
    It was green and luxuriant. There were mountains with thick forests  
    of trees on them, and there was lush grass and underbrush.  Most  
    amazingly, a huge animal was observed moving through the 
    underbrush. In a land of ice, snow and almost perpetual `deep 
    freeze,' this was a stupendous mystery.
    
    "When Admiral Byrd went into this unknown country, into `the center 
    of the great unknown,' where was he? In the light of the theory 
    of Marshall Gardner, he was at the very doorway that leads to the 
    earth's interior and which lies beyond the Pole.
    
    "Both Alaska and Canada have had much more of their share of 
    sightings of flying saucers in recent months.  Why? Is there some 
    connection with the `land beyond the Pole' - that unknown territory 
    inside the earth?
    
    "There must be a connection. If the flying saucers enter and leave 
    the earth's interior by way of the polar  openings, it is natural 
    that they would be seen by Alaskans and Canadians much more  
    frequently than they would be by people in other parts of the world.  
    Alaska is close to the North Pole and so is Canada."

    The above observations of a concentration of flying saucers in the 
Arctic region corresponds to similar observations by Jarrold and Bender 
of a concentration in the Antarctic, where they are believed by flying 
saucer experts to have a landing base, from where they are seen to 
ascend and return. However, according to the theory of this book, what 
really occurs, in the Antarctic as in the Arctic, is that the flying 
saucers emerge from and reenter the polar opening leading to the hollow  
interior of the Earth, their true place of origin. 

   Aime Michel, in his `straight line' theory, proved that most of the 
flight patterns of the flying saucers are in a north-south direction, 
which is exactly what would be true if their origin was polar, coming 
from either the north or south polar opening.

   In February 1947, about the time when Admiral Byrd made his great 
discovery of land beyond the North Pole, another remarkable discovery 
was made in the continent of Antarctica, the discovery of "Bunger's 
Oasis." This discovery was made by Lt. Commander David Bunger who was 
at the controls of one of six large transport planes used by Admiral 
Byrd for the U. S. Navy's `Operation Highjump' (1946-1947).
   
   Bunger was flying inland from the Shackleton Ice Shelf near Queen 
Mary Coast of Wilkes Land. He and his crew were about four miles from 
the coastline where open water lies.

   The land Bunger discovered was ice-free. The lakes were of many 
different colors, ranging from rusty red, green to deep blue. Each of 
the lakes was more than three miles long.  The water was warmer than 
the ocean, as Bunger found by landing his seaplane on one of the lakes. 
Each lake had a gently sloping beach.

   Around the four edges of the oasis, which was roughly square in 
shape, Bunger saw endless and eternal white snow and ice. Two sides of 
the oasis rose nearly a hundred feet high, and consisted of great ice 
walls. The other two sides had a more gradual and gentle slope.

   The existence of such an oasis in the far Antarctic, a land of 
perpetual ice, would indicate warmer conditions there, which would 
exist if the oasis was in the south polar opening, leading to the warmer 
interior of the earth, as was the case with the warmer territory, with 
land and lakes, that Admiral Byrd discovered beyond the North Pole, 
which was probably within the north polar opening. Otherwise one cannot 
explain the existence of such an oasis of unfrozen territory in the 
midst of the continent of Antarctica with ice miles thick. The oasis 
could not result from volcanic activity below the Earth's surface, for, 
since the land area of the oasis covered three hundred square miles, 
it was too big to be affected by volcanic heat supply.  Warm wind 
currents from the Earth's interior are a better explanation.

   Thus Byrd in the Arctic and Bunger in the Antarctic both made 
similar discoveries of warmer land areas beyond the Poles at about the 
same time, early in 1947.  But they were not the only ones to make 
such a discovery. Some time ago a newspaper in Toronto, Canada, "The 
Globe and Mail," published a photo of a green valley taken by an 
aviator in the Arctic region. Evidently the aviator took the picture 
from the air and did not attempt to land. It was a beautiful valley 
and contained rolling green hills. The aviator must have gone beyond 
the North Pole into the same warmer territory that Admiral Byrd visited, 
which lies inside the polar opening. This picture was published in 1960.

   In further confirmation of Admiral Byrd's discovery are reports of 
individuals who claimed they had entered the north polar opening, as 
many Arctic explorers did without knowing they did, and penetrated far 
enough into it to reach the Subterranean World in the hollow interior 
of the Earth. Dr. Nephi Cottom of Los Angeles reported that one of his 
patients, a man of Nordic descent, told him the following story:

    "I lived near the Arctic Circle in Norway. One summer my friend and 
    I made up our minds to take a boat trip together, and go as far as 
    we could into the north country.  So we put one month's food 
    provisions in a small fishing boat, and with sail and also a good 
    engine in our boat, we set to sea.

    "At the end of one month we had traveled far into the north, beyond 
    the Pole and  into a strange new country.  We were much astonished 
    at the weather there. Warm, and at times at night it was almost too 
    warm to sleep. (Arctic explorers who penetrated into the far north 
    have made similar reports of warm weather, at times warm enough to  
    make them shed their heavy clothing - Author). Then we saw 
    something so strange that we both were astonished. Ahead of the 
    warm open sea we were on what looked like a great mountain. Into 
    that mountain at a certain point the ocean seemed to be emptying. 
    Mystified, we continued in that direction and found ourselves  
    sailing into a vast canyon leading into the interior of the Earth.  
    We kept sailing and then we saw what surprised us - a sun shining 
    inside the earth!

    "The ocean that had carried us into the hollow interior of the 
    Earth gradually became a river.  This river led, as we came to 
    realize later, all through the inner surface of the world from one 
    end to the other. It can take you, if you follow it long enough, 
    from the North Pole clear through to the South Pole.

    "We saw that the inner surface of the earth was divided, as the 
    other one is, into both land and water. There is plenty of sunshine 
    and both animal and vegetable life abounds there. We sailed further 
    and further into this fantastic country, fantastic because everything 
    was huge in size as compared with things on the outside. Plants are 
    big, trees gigantic and finally we came to GIANTS.
    
    "They were dwelling in homes and towns, just as we do on the Earth's 
    surface. And they used a type of electrical conveyance like a 
    mono-rail car, to transport people. It ran along the river's edge 
    from town to town.   
    
    "Several of the inner earth inhabitants - huge giants - detected our 
    boat on the river, and were quite amazed. They were, however, quite 
    friendly. We were invited to dine with them in their homes, and so 
    my companion and I separated, he going with one giant to that giant's 
    home and I going with another giant to his home.

    "My gigantic friend brought me home to his family, and I was 
    completely dismayed to see the huge size of all the objects in his 
    home. The dinner table was colossal. A plate was put before me and 
    filled with a portion of food so big it would have fed me abundantly 
    an entire week. The giant offered me a cluster of grapes and each 
    grape was as big as one of our peaches. I tasted one and found it 
    far sweeter than any I had ever tasted `outside.' In the interior 
    of the Earth all the fruits and vegetables taste far better and more 
    flavorsome than those we have on the outer surface of the Earth.

    "We stayed with the giants for one year, enjoying their 
    companionship as much as they enjoyed knowing us.  We observed many 
    strange and unusual things during our visit with these remarkable 
    people, and were continually amazed at their scientific progress 
    and inventions. All of this time they were never unfriendly to us,  
    and we were allowed to return to our own home in the same manner in
    which we came -  in fact, they courteously offered their protection 
    it we should need it for the return voyage."
  

   These giants were evidently members of the antediluvian race of 
Atlanteans who established residence in the Earth's interior prior to 
the historic deluge that submerged their Atlantic continent.
    
   A similar experience of a visit to the hollow interior of the earth, 
through the polar opening, and entirely independently, was made by 
another Norwegian named Olaf Jansen and recorded in the book, "The 
Smoky God," written by Willis George Emerson, an American writer.  The  
book is based on a report made by Jansen to Mr. Emerson before his 
death, describing his real experience of visiting the interior of the 
earth and its inhabitants.
    
   The title, "The Smoky God," refers to the central sun in the hollow 
interior of the  Earth, which, being smaller and less brilliant than  
our sun, appears as "smoky."  The book relates the true experience of 
a Norse father and son, who, with their small fishing boat and unbounded 
courage, attempted to find "the land beyond the north wind," as they had 
heard of its warmth and beauty. An extraordinary windstorm carried them 
most of the distance, through the polar opening into the hollow interior 
of the Earth. They spent two years there and returned through the south 
polar opening.  The father lost his life when an iceberg broke in two 
and destroyed the boat. The son was rescued and subsequently spent 24 
years in prison for insanity, as a result of telling the story of his 
experience to incredulous people.

   When he was finally released, he told the story to no one. After 
26 years as a fisherman, he saved enough money to come to the United 
States and settled in Illinois, and later in California. In his  
nineties, by accident, the novelist Willis George Emerson befriended 
him and was told the story. On the old man's death he relinquished 
the maps that he had made of the interior of the Earth, and the 
manuscript describing his experiences. He refused to show it to anyone 
while he was alive, due to his past experience of people disbelieving 
him and considering him insane if he mentioned the subject.

    The book, "The Smoky God," describing Olaf Jansen's unusual trip 
to the hollow interior of the Earth, was published in 1908. It tells 
about the people who dwell inside the Earth, whom he and his father 
met during their visit and whose language  he learned. He said that 
they live from 400 to 800 years and are highly advanced in science.  
They  can transmit their thoughts  from one to another by certain types 
of radiations and have sources of power greater than our electricity.

   They are the creators of the flying saucers, which are operated by 
this superior power, drawn from the electromagnetism of the atmosphere.  
They are twelve or more feet in stature. It is remarkable how this 
report of a visit to the Earth's interior corresponds with the other 
described above, yet both were entirely independent of each other. 
Also the gigantic size of the human beings dwelling in the Earth's  
interior corresponds to the great size of its animal life, as observed 
by Admiral Byrd, who, during his 1,700 mile flight beyond the North 
Pole, observed a strange animal resembling the ancient mammoth. 

   We shall present later in this book the theory of Marshall Gardner 
that the mammoths found enclosed in ice, rather than being prehistoric 
animals, are really huge animals from the Earth's interior who were 
carried to the surface by rivers and frozen in the ice that was formed 
by the water that carried them.
