The Secret Lost Diary of Admiral Richard E. Byrd and The Phantom of the Poles
A Secret Expedition and A Journey To A Paradise Inside The Earthy! EXPLORE A STRANGE LAND KEPT HIDDEN FROM THE PUBLIC. HERE FOR THE FIRST TIME IS THE SECRET DIARY OF ONE OF THE GREATEST ADVENTURERS WHO HAS EVER LIVED. PLUS PROOF THAT THERE IS A VAST, UNCHARTED, CIVILIZATION EXISTS INSIDE THE PLANET. nIN the year 1947 Admiral Richard E. Byrd made a flight into the South Polar region of the world. Before he started on the venture, Byrd made a mysterious statement: "I'd like to see that land beyond the Pole. That area beyond the Pole in the center of the great unknown."
In the cockpit of his plane was a powerful, two-way radio. When Byrd and his scientific companions took off from their base at the South Pole, they managed to fly 1700 miles beyond it. That's when the radio in Byrd's plane was put into use to report something utterly incredible. There was a strange great valley below them. For some unknown reason, the valley Byrd saw was not ice-covered as it should have been in the frigid Antarctic. It was green and luxuriant. There were mountains with thick forest of trees on them, there was lush grass and underbrush. Most amazing, a huge animal was observed moving through the underbrush. In a land of ice, snow and almost perpetual "deep-freeze", here was a stupendous MYSTERY. Byrd had discovered a strange great valley just beyond the South Pole, where the weather temperature, believe it or not, was evidently something like 75 degrees.
Suddenly the press and radio were "hushed up". After the first brief messages leaked through to newspapers, no further confirmation of the big discovery was given. Was it merely a hoax? Some newsman's joke? I think not. I believe that Byrd came upon the location of a great doorway or entrance leading deep into the unknown interior of the Earth! The "Great Door" at the South Pole region. Having found that, it is believe he guessed no longer. He then KNEW beyond the shadow of a doubt that this secret "Door" must open into the Cavern world. He would go there and find out...see for himself the wonder and everlasting mystery of the unknown INNER Earth.
Here is the long rumored 'missing' diary of Admiral Byrd which tells exactly what Bryd and his men discovered. Why have we not been permitted this information? Why is it that some have been warned not to talk about what has been discovered?
TWO BOOKS IN ONE! In addition to the text of Admiral Byrd's diary is a rare, 'long lost' manuscript by William Reed who puts forward his theory that we live on the outside of a hollow globe. Based upon the journals of various seafarers who have explored the regions around the poles, Reed puts forward the following questions: 1. Why is the earth flattened at the poles? 2. Why have the poles never been reached? 3. Why does the sun not appear for so long in winter near the supposed poles? 4. Assuming that the earth is hollow, the interior should be warmer. 5. We must now resort to the compass. Does it refuse to work when drawing near the supposed poles? 6. Meteors are constantly falling near the supposed poles. Why? 7. The next query is concerning the great quantities of dust constantly found in the Arctic Ocean. What causes this dust? 8. What produces the Aurora Borealis? 9. Icebergs are next in order. Where are they formed? And how?? 10. What causes tidal waves? 11. What causes colored snow in the Arctic region? 12. Why are the nights so long in the polar regions? 13. What causes the great ice-pressure in the Arctic Ocean during still tide and calm weather? 14. Why is the ice filled with rock, gravel, and sand?
This is a book that will intrigue and fascinate. It is like nothing you have ever encountered before!

The first part of the book is very good. Straight from the diaries of Admiral Byrd, which should be taken as accurate and contain no fiction. The second part of the book (The Phanton of the Poles) makes reference to extracts from diaries by variious explorers on which "theories and assumptions" are based, but, to my opinion, offers no proof of "hollow" earth. Many theories derive out of the entries in the diaries and statements made by these explorers, but it is just that. Interesting reading, yes, but a little monotonous at times. The last chapter makes reference to various authors who wrote about the hollow earth, again without any tangible proof. However, it misses out on one book by Jules Verne "Journey to the Centre of the Earth". If we judge from other books by Jules Verne - Twenty thousand Leagues Under the Sea", "Earth to the Moon", "Around the Moon" - all of these that he writes about have actually materialised. In fact in his book from "Earth to the Moon" he places the "launch" about 80 kms from Cape Cannaveral! So, why the "Journey to the Centre of the Earth" couldn't happen at some point in time? Who knows... Fruit for thought...

Barely covers the subject of the book title.
If you're looking for a lengthy attempt to persuade readers the earth is not only hollow, but occupied by other races of humanoids, animals and more this book will be right up your alley. If you want to get deep inside the late Admiral Byrd's mind via his personal writings this isn't the book for you.
As for the other subject, hollow earth, it appears well sourced, which should mean readers can conduct follow up investigation into the subject to confirm or refute the information shared therein.

Inner Earth - fascinating! The stories are quick reading. I highly recommend...something everyone should have familiarity with even if it may be hard to believe. Not for me however!

Extraordinary claims require robust factual evidence. From the jump, we're supposed to believe that this is Robert Byrd's diary, but there was no research investigation or authentication that this was, in fact, Robert Byrd's diary (that should've been half the book.) We need to find out who found the diary and when they found the log; we need to authenticate that it was Byrds through possibly DNA handwriting analysis and eyewitness testimony from family members who saw Byrd with the journal; there's just a lot of investigative journalism that needs to be done before we jump into a fantasy land with UFOs and pixie dust. I love a good story, but you've got to build up the reliability and validity of the case you're making. This needs a rewrite, and somebody needs to grab the diary from these chuckleheads, I do a real investigation. I feel like Hymie Masson is somehow involved ha ha ha.

Seems plausible
This book attempts to answer the debated question of is the planet earth Holloway or not.. This books cites much evidence to prove that the earth is indeed hollow and has two opens to the inner earth one at each pole. The book lists evidence of driftwood volcano ash cold air in summer hot air in winter colored snow and plant and animal remnants not normally found anywhere near the two poles but their remains at those two poles indicates the originate from the inner earth and one of the best proofs he lists is that icebergs are found drifting in the two poles but never documented forming their and therefore the must come from the inner earth. Read with an open mind and heart seeking truth only not tradition and you will learn . I recommend this book .

Informative. It requires further investigation. Perhaps we live on a Flat, Hollow Earth. An inner Sun & an outer Sun. So many conundrums. I've decided to agree with everyone, then I'll be correct someday. I do actually like the idea of an inner realm, peopled by the Lost Ten Tribes of Ancient Israel. They now being more advanced than we on the outer plane. They seem to not have wars there and the health is such that live for Centuries as well. Evidently if I had been born in Inner earth and was age 72, I just be a very young person there still. Hm? Very interesting, Watson!

this book was a joooke. It felt like a middle schooler wrote it. I’ve been following the works of Byrd, and ordered this to satiate my need for more, but I think this book serves nothing more than a poorly written second-hand adaptation of something SOMEONE THINKS they read years prior. The constant “I think” really did it for me. I would recommend someone read Byrds wikipedia before reading this.

Disappointing
This book was an utter waste of time. I was looking to find information about the diary of Admiral Byrd. This book has very little, if anything, to do with that. It’s some ramblings about icebergs and the aurora borealis and dust and glaciers, and UFOs and all kinds of things. None of which has anything to do with Admiral Byrd. That section took up only a few pages and really said nothing. I wouldn’t waste my time with this if I were you. Boring.

Not to sure about this book, but its one I always wanted to read, after becoming fascinated with Byrd's tale years ago after hearing it. Hence, I can mark it off my to read list. But, if you want a quick read, this is a good option, as I read it in one afternoon, only taking me about an hour.

Worthless fake
They have only posted 2 pages of the so called diary and rest of the book is worthless geographivcal phenomena on surface of earth.. I means no one wants this authors insights on a school text book

Want to read
February 22, 2023I have not read the Richard E. Byrd book yet. I am trying to do that very thing. How do I do
it? When I do read it I will write a review of it. Thank you. Eric Nelson, former journalist, Kelowna, B.C, Canada.

Absolute garbage.
Read about 4-5 pages. The book gives Byrds first trip to Antartica as 1947, then 1955, then 1950, then 1946. Utter Tosh.

This is a very unusual book in that it is several pieces hooked together. We have Admiral Byrd's diary of his 1940's mission of exploration of the South Pole commissioned by the U. S. Navy in tandem with "The Phantom of the Poles" by William Reed and two other lead-ins.
In "A Strange Land," one Michael X (listed as Commander X on the cover) is hypothesized to be Timothy Beckley Green, retired Military Intelligence Official turned author who feels that the public has a right to know the truths kept secret by those in power. He shares several news articles dated 10 years apart of happenings that were written and talked about in Byrd’s diary.
"Myths and Legends of the Hollow Earth" is written by Tim R. Swartz, who has been honored with Emmy Awards for his work as a videographer/editor in 1984, 1996-1998 at two different TV stations. He is also a writer/editor of an email newsletter "Conspiracy Journal," considered essential reading by paranormal researchers worldwide. He reviews the various cultural stories that are passed down through the years of beings arriving from below. He relates a story of George Weist, who fell down a cavern, thinking he was a goner to be rescued by beings, healed and released near his home several weeks later. Then he talks of Ray Palmer, who felt that UFOs actually came from an intraterrestrial (as opposed to extraterrestrial).
“The Secret Lost Diary of Admiral Richard E. Byrd:” Rear Admiral Richard Byrd visited the Arctic on a trip commissioned by the U.S. Navy in February 19, 1947. Before he left, he said, almost prophetically: "I'd like to see that land beyond the Pole. That area beyond the Pole in the center of the great unknown." As he was flying “1700 miles past the Pole,” he began to become excited at what was appearing below him on Earth as the snow left and the ground greened up. He realized he wanted to share and, with the cockpit radio on, began to share with whoever was on the other end. His radio after a period of time was silenced and his instruments were working erratically. Byrd became unsure of what was going on aeronautically.
His radio began working again with accented voices guiding his plane to a landing where people approached him and his group to take them on the most bizarre trip of their lives, introducing them to the inner world and sharing their history with the group. They shared stories of UFO-type vehicles investigating the outer world. Before the group left, they were warned of dark times to come that no weapons or science would change. I’d say we’re there now.
“Phantom of the Poles” (1906) by William Reed (1830–1920), theorizes that the Earth is hollow, with holes at its poles. Reed summarizes his theory as follows: The earth is hollow. The Poles are phantoms. There are openings at the northern and southern extremities. In the interior, one will find vast continents, oceans, mountains and rivers. Vegetable and animal life are seen here and is populated by races unknown to dwellers on the Earth's surface.
He puts forth 14 points in an attempt to prove that we live on the outside of a hollow globe and through copious citations and speculations located within the text (no resource listing) to prove his points. I felt it was lop-sided research with him trying so hard to obtain the answers he wanted that he didn’t consider any other options.
I found this to be an interesting read as far as trying to think outside the box, but for Reed’s part of the book, found it very tedious and repetitive…could only give it a 3—and even then, almost didn’t finish it.
NOTE: A former review (12/4/2020) gives another glimpse of Inner Earth: “The Smokey God: a voyage to the Inner World” by Willis George Emerson.
