Myths and hints

The oldest claims of the hollow earth are Tibetian myths. Those myths report of 3 openings into the earth: 2 near the poles and 1 in the Himalayas. The Thule society, which was closely known by Adolf Hitler, reported much about those myths. There is even the theory that Hitler ordered a research journey for such an opening in the Antarctica. This theory is based on a speech of Admiral Dönitz in front of the German submarine in 1944. During that speech, Dönitz claims, "The German submarine fleet is proud of having built an invincible fortification for the Führer, anywhere in the world." During the Nuremberg Trials, Dönitz spoke of "an invincible fortification, in midst of the eternal ice." These are the only serious hints of the theory of the hollow earth.
