In ancient times, subterranean realms were associated with the Greek Hades, the Nordic Svartalfheim, the Christian Hell, and the Jewish Sheol. Dante Alighieri’s Purgatory hill in “The Divine Comedy” (1300s) was a tunnel to the inner earth, which was supposed to be the resting place of all persons before an eventual ruling of justice.

"Could it be possible that the portion of the world we are inhabiting is only one layer? There are those who believe it is very possible. The Hollow Earth Theory has been around for a long time and there are several variations. In 1692, the astronomer Edmund Halley who discovered Halley’s comet, proposed the idea of a hollow Earth. Halley suggested that Earth contained two inner shells separated by an atmosphere, each with its own magnetic poles. Halley believed that Earth contained spheres — one inside another — that turned independently of each other. He also speculated that the aurora borealis was caused by escaping atmospheric gas of an inner sphere.” (Jason Carr, “WTF is the ‘Hollow Earth’ Theory?” WiredCosmos, March 27, 2012)

“The hollow Earth theory puts forth the idea that the Earth is completely hollow or may have a hollow region inside. This idea was common in some ancient cultures and was evidenced in ideas like the hell in Christian literature or Sheol in Kabalistic works. This idea has also been explored numerous times in fiction including Jules Verne’s *Journey to the Center of the Earth* and in a series of novels by Edgar Rice Burroughs as well as in more modern literature.” (Abby Cessna, “Hollow Earth Theory,” Universe Today, December 28, 2009)
