Here is the very beginning of Chapter Two of The Arctic Home of the

Vedas. What the author does is substantiate a warm, Arctic climate

without going outside the bounds of generally accepted physics. This

is a part of his larger scheme of things, in which he alleges that

the Indo European culture had its origin in the Arctic coasts in

antiquity. From there, of course, it is just a hop, skip and a jump

to the opening to the hollow earth. From this point onwards, we can

construct that our own origin is in the hollow earth.

 

I don't think that he is technically correct, however. It was Mike

Mott who first suggested on this list that a cloud canopy once

existed around the earth as around Venus, and that such a canopy

would bhave evenly distributed the warmth of the Earth. Mr. Cater

gives a more technical explanation as to how- he explains that

photons from the Sun would go through a transformation and a "

compacting " upon passing through such a canopy and form themselves

into soft particles/prana. Soft particles would absorb, like carrier

cells in biology, the harder, heat-giving particles and thus avoid a

total greenhouse effect.

 

But without having to introduce the physics of soft particles, Bal

Gangadhar Tilak has armed us with enough logic to justify an Indo

European existence along theArctic coasts of Europe and Siberia.

 

The author, Bal Gangadhar Tilak, was a famous man in India at his

death in the1920s. this was due to his part

intheindependencemovement, even before the big role of Gandhi. His

name was a house hold word, and this was one of his most famous

books. Once again we see that the Hindu culture isarich resource for

the Hollow Earth Theory. We have barely begun to tap it.

 

 

CHAPTER II

 

THE GLACIAL PERIOD

The climate of our globe at the present day is characterised by a

succession of seasons, spring, summer, autumn and winter, caused by

the inclination of the earth's axis to the plane of the ecliptic.

When the North Pole of the earth is turned away from the sun in its

annual course round that luminary, we have winter in the northern

and summer in the southern hemisphere, and vice versa when the North

Pole is turned towards the sun. The cause of the rotation of seasons

in the different hemispheres is thus very simple, and from the

permanence of this cause one may be led to think that in the distant

geological ages the climate of our planet must have been

characterised by similar rotations of hot and cold seasons. But such

a supposition is directly contradicted by geological evidence. The

inclination of the earth's axis to the plane of ecliptic, or what is

technically called the obliquity of the ecliptic, is not the sole

cause of climatic variations on the surface of the globe. High

altitude and the existence of oceanic and aerial currents, carrying

and diffusing the heat of the equatorial region to the other parts of

the globe, have been found to produce different climates in countries

having the same latitude. The. Gulf Stream is a notable instance of

such oceanic currents and had it not been for this stream the climate

in the North-West of Europe would have been quite different from what

it is at present. Again if the masses of land and water be

differently distributed from what they are at present, there is every

reason to suppose that different climatic conditions will prevail on

the surface of the globe from those which we now experience, as such

a distribution would materially alter the course of oceanic and

aerial currents going from the equator to the Poles. Therefore, in

the early geological ages, when the Alps were low and the Himalayas

not yet upheaved and when Asia and Africa were represented only by a

group of islands we need not be surprised if, from geological

evidence of fossil fauna and flora, we find that an equable and

uniform climate prevailed over the whole surface of the globe as the

result of these geographical conditions. In Mesozoic and Cainozoic

times this state of things appears, to have gradually changed. But

though the climate in the Secondary and the Tertiary era was not

probably as remarkably uniform as in the Primary, yet there is clear

geological evidence to show that until the close of the Pliocene

period in the Tertiary era the climate was not yet differentiated

into zones and there were then no hot and cold extremes as at

present. The close of the Pliocene and the whole of the Pliestocene

period was marked by violent changes of climate bringing on what is

called the Glacial and Inter-Glacial epochs. But it is now

conclusively established that before the advent of this period a

luxuriant forest vegetation, which can only grow and exist at present

in the tropical or temperate climate, flourished in the high latitude

of Spitzbergen, where the sun goes below the horizon, from November

till March, thus showing that a warm climate prevailed in the Arctic

regions in those days.
