The Mammoth Cave would be 400 miles long. The air pressure and temperature would be overwhelming at that depth. The water pressure in the north pole hole would be nearly 1 million PSI at a depth of 400 miles. Craft would need a force field that could repel that pressure. The chamber under the Romanian Sphinx is said to have three tunnels, one leading to Egypt, one to Iraq & one to inner earth.

Intended for those with hollow heads no doubt.Makes me want to pick up Rendezvous with Rama and Titan again.
Hey - with a flat earth shouldn't we be able to drill through and see what's on the underside? Typical problem with all real estate I guess - location, location, location.

Some of my ancestors came here from Cave City. They did not miss it. Said it was absurdly hot, what with the inner sun shining constantly even though it's the size of a beach ball. Sleeping was hard, even in the cave. They got fed up and caught a ride in a saucer, which dropped them off in Arizona. They said they were lucky to survive the trip, as the saucer crew was either badly hung over or maybe still drunk, and they flew too close to the inner sun. Said you don't dare fly very high or the gravity of the inner sun will suck you in. Anyway, after they narrowly escaped being roasted, they nearly froze to death their first few nights in Arizona. They eventually moved to Florida, where the nights are warmer.
They liked the lower gravity on this side. Instead of being on the inside of a hollow sphere spinning at a thousand miles an hour, they were on the outside. They were all short and stocky and powerfully built. The last of them died back in the 80s. Somewhere around here I have a camera one of them brought along but of course it's impossible to find film for it. A couple of my cousins ended up with all the photos, birth certificates and other documents. They are both crazy, so who knows what they did with that stuff. None of the Inner Earthers would go near Mammoth Cave. Wouldn't say why, only to stay the hell away.
The ancestors said Mothman, Spring Heel Jack, and many other such nuisances were from the inner world. Such mischief is highly illegal as we cause the Inner Earthers plenty of trouble without being provoked. Apparently every tribe has its knuckleheads.

Thanks, C-Y. Most of my best work was lost when the plug was pulled on the old UFO Casebook forum a year or so back. Along with a lot of very fine research done by others and a truckload of the usual UFO forum stuff. I suppose it still exists somewhere, on a hard drive in a box on a shelf in a warehouse.

I have a running copy of the ishtarsgate.com forum (on an always unplugged server on my floor 4 foot from me), thought it was the only copy for a few years,
then noticed that archive.org had it archived.
it only popped up on the archive.org website after the domain name expired, so that is why I had not seen it when the forum first went off line.
there are a few archive services out there, might be worth looking to see if anyone has what you lost.

That is interesting. Thanks, spacecase. My "satirical vignettes" were trivial, but fun. The real loss there was the actual research, which I participated in but the heavy lifting was always done by others. There was a lot of discussion about archiving the site before it went away, but no one knew how really or had the resources. I dunno. The forum started up again on a non-defunct platform. I might have to look for an archive. It was a large site with many thousands of posts, loads of images, and so on.
My silly stories got started because I was often accused of being a Man In Black, Government Spook, or other evil suppressor of Truth. Of course I was not the only one, so a few of us got to joking about our expense accounts getting cut back, the office Christmas party and who got drunkest, and such stuff. I'm sure some of our "opponents" still think we were paid agents of the Illuminati or something. That's one of many things that prevent me from taking this stuff seriously anymore. I really don't care if aliens are visiting us or not. If they are not, they sure as hell should be.

I'm dubious about hollow earth.
Did some pressure computations about Deepwater Horizon and was surprised to find that pressure follows the weight of the overburden.
More than a couple of miles deep the pressure exceeds the tensile strength of rock and you can't have an unpressurized void.
I of course welcome other points of view.

if there is a hollow spot, I suspect it is on the pole and is some sort of partially enclosed crater that is not that deep, or something like that
