Giant animals. Beautiful forests. Extraterrestrial technologies. That is all inside our planet, according to an Instagram post that claims the Earth is hollow and has a civilization living inside. Scientists once took claims like this seriously, according to "Hollow Earth" a book by David Standish. English astronomer Edmond Halley proposed to the Royal Society of London in the 1690s that the Earth consisted of nested, spherical shells that spun in different directions and surrounded a central core. Halley thought the space between shells may have had luminous atmospheres that might have suppod life. American officer John Cleves Symmes expanded Halley’s theory in the 1810s by claiming that those spheres could be accessed through holes in both poles.
