Tilak on Arctic Land Mass

[Guest guest]

Members,

 

In chapter Three of The Arctic Home of the Vedas, Bal Gangadhar Tilak

makes a case for a solid ring of Arctic land mass around the Arctic

basin:

 

" Dr. Warren, in his Paradise Found, quotes a number of authorities

to show that within a comparatively recent geological period a wide

stretch of Arctic land, of which Nova Zemlya and Spitzbergen formed a

part, had been submerged; and one of the conclusions he draws from

these authorities is that the present islands oftheArctic ocean, such

as the two mentioned above, are simply mountain tops still remaining

above the surface of the sea which has come in and covered up the

primeval continent to which they belonged. That an extensive

Circum﷓Polar continent existed in Miocene times seems to have been

conceded by all geologists, and though we cannot predicate its

existence in its entirety during the Pleistocene period, yet there

are good reasons to hold that a different configuration of land and

water prevailed about the North Pole during the Inter﷓Glacial period=

,

and that as observed by Prof. Geikie the Pal:t:olithic man, along

with other Quaternary animals, freely ran•,ed over the whole of the

Arctic regions in those times. Even now there is a considerable tract

of land to the north of the Arctic circle, in the old world,

especially in Siberia and there is evidence to show that it once

enjoyed a mild and temperate climate. The depth of the Arctic Ocean

to the north of Siberia is at present, less than a hundred fathoms,

and if great geographical changes took place in the Pleistocene

period, it is not unlikely that this tract of land, which is now

submerged, may have been once abuse the level of the sea. In other

words there are sufficient indications of the existence of a

continent round about the North Pole before the last glacial period."

 

Members,

 

A lot of it would depend on sea levels, obviously. When we talk about

the hollow earth theory, includingcavern worlds the size of countries

and whole geographical regions, we practically bring whole different

dimensions into consideration.

 

In chapter 27 of Etidorhpa, The Guide leads The Man across an

underground " lake " consisting of thousands of square miles of

water. Geological processes were mentioned in the book by which fresh

water may rise above its briney source and also by which fresh water

may flow downwards while being separated from brine. This is amazing

from various points of view, but for our purposes now, the

descriptions in Etidorhpa provide a mechanism by which the sea levels

may rise and fall. Who knows, this may be a process which can be

manipulated and adjusted.

 

Go to the book Etidorhpa, which exists entirely online, and read up

on that section yourselves:

My guide continued:

 

" The surface of this lake lies as a mirror beneath both the ocean

and the land. The force effect that preserves the configuration of

the ocean preserves the form of this also, but influences it to a

less extent, and the two surfaces lie nearly parallel with each

other, this one being one hundred and fifty miles beneath the surface

of the earth. The shell of the earth above us is honeycombed by

caverns in some places, in others it is compact, and yet, in most

places, is impervious to water. At the farther extremity of the lake,

a stratum of porous material extends through the space intervening

between the bottom of the ocean and this lake. By capillary

attraction, assisted by gravitation, part of the water of the ocean

is being transferred through this stratum to the underground cavity.

The lake is slowly rising."

 

At this remark I interrupted him: " You say the water in the ocean is

being slowly transferred down to this underground lake less by

gravity than by capillarity."

 

" Yes."

 

" I believe that I have reason to question that statement, if you do

not include the salt," I replied.

 

" Pray state your objections."

 

I answered: " Whether a tube be long or short, if it penetrate the

bottom of a vessel of brine, and extend downward, the brine will flow

into and out of it by reason of its weight."

 

" You mistake," he asserted; " the attraction of the sides of the

capillary tube, if the tube is long enough, will eventually separate

the water from the salt, and at length a downward flow of water only

will result."
