Journey to the center of the Earth starts in Provo

A belief that the earth is hollow and inhabited within has caused a Provo man to plan an expedition to the North Pole and possibly to the earth's interior.

Steve Currey owns an expedition company in Provo. For over forty years he has organized fly-fishing, kayaking, river rafting and trekking trips around the world. Many locations of his trips are exotic and fascinating, but his next destination is something way out of the ordinary.

Currey was contacted by Rodney Cluff, author of "World Top Secret: Our Earth is Hollow," to organize an expedition to the interior of the earth. In his book, Cluff explains the theory of the hollow earth.

There is no guarantee the expedition will find anything, but if nothing else, the people will get to go to the North Pole and the Siberian Islands, Currey said.

Currey has chartered a nuclear icebreaker with the capacity for 108 passengers for the purpose of taking a group to find the polar opening.

The expedition is scheduled for June 26 to July 19, 2005.

Currey said people from all over the world have expressed interest in going on the expedition.

"I am getting three to four calls a day about it," Currey said.

Passengers will have to come up with the funds to pay for the expedition. Costs range from $18,950 to $20,950 per person.

According to a survey done by LDS author R. Clayton Brough, 4 percent of the LDS population believes in the hollow earth theory and that it is a probable explanation for the location of the lost 10 tribes.

Cluff has been investigating the theory for years.

"I firmly believe there is a substantial amount of scientific, historical and scriptural evidence to support the theory," he said.

The expedition will go to the North Pole in search of the polar opening, which Cluff said he believes is marked by land about five degrees from the pole.

Past explorers and indigenous Eskimos have reported seeing a mirage of land in that vicinity.

According to Cluff, there are some people in the government who are aware of the opening to the inner earth but have tried to keep that knowledge hidden from the public.

"We have indications that the U.S. military does know about it," he said.

Discovering the inner earth will set off a new age and a revolution in education and all aspects of society, Cluff said.

"We believe that in this expedition we, the people, have a right to know," he said.

Cluff said has written about religious believe that he expects to be proven when he goes on the expedition. One of the beliefs is that the inner earth is inhabited by the throne of King David from the Bible, and that the political kingdom of God is located there. He also believes that the lost Garden of Eden is in the hallowed earth, and its inhabitants are friendly, highly civilized and mostly members of the lost 10 tribes. Cluff also said the inner sun, which is located in the inner earth, is the throne of Jehovah and a paradise for the dead.

Other beliefs he said he hopes to prove include that UFOs originate from the inner earth, and solar winds and the inner sun cause the northern lights.

The only other record that exists of any sort of expedition to the inner earth is from explorer Admiral Byrd. According to the belief, Admiral Byrd flew through the inner earth in 1947, Cluff said.

Read Foucault's Pendulum by Umberto Eco for the best "hollow earth" theory! It's great!

I expect the same 4% also believe in Brigham Young's long-ago claim that there are men living on the moon. The Mormons I meet always seem to be from the other 96%. Pity -- the 4-percenters sound like boatloads of fun :-)

They also believe Joseph Smith is a prophet and that God resides on a planet nigh unto Kolob. Brigham believed the sun was inhabited.
