Page 10 of the book, ‘ESCAPE TO INNER EARTH’, by Dr. Raymond Bernard (author of ‘The Hollow Earth’) carried the following paragraph:
“…We will have to find refuge under the earth from the radioactive contamination of its atmosphere and surface. In fact, after we have found such refuge from the destructive effects of atomic bombs and fallout, we will have to become permanent subterranean dwellers. That such an idea is not as far-fetched as it may seem to be at first glance is indicated by the discovery of vast subterranean tunnels under South America, probably constructed by a prehistoric race who sought safety from a similar catastrophe.”

The following letter appeared in the September 1945 issue of AMAZING STORIES magazine, on page 173:
Sirs;
“I sincerely hope that Mr. Shaver’s intentions are good because it is clear that he has come into certain powerful knowledge from the past. Let me make clear these points. The tablets referred to were buried by Thoth (are these the so-called ‘Emerald Tablets of Thoth’? – Branton). They have since been dug up and are at present in Tibet. Mr. Shaver will never find them.
“The Atlanteans and Lemurians were two different places and races. Both were wiped out by the great Masters because of failure to obey cosmic laws. The last remnants of the Lemurians are locked in a great cavern in the earth along with other… negative creatures and can not be reached by any ordinary mortal, for which I give thanks to the Cosmos.
“About Shasta – it is not peopled by Lemurians, although some of those who dwell there are centuries old. You may make inquires if you wish, however you will not learn much unless the great ones with it. The masters have seven great caverns in scattered places throughout the earth.
“There were other elder races besides the Lemurians and Atlanteans. One of these was the Xions, who came from a dark planet. As you travel in space, it can be done if you travel through curves but not through angles. I welcome inquiry in the proper spirit and will answer letters from anyone who is sincere.

The following information can be found on pages 20-22 of David H. Lewis’ book, “THE INCREDIBLE CITIES OF INNER EARTH”.
This book describes an alleged expedition in April of 1979 into a tunnel located in Connecticut. The explorers claim they observed a huge agricultural center deep underground in which a strange type of plant was grown. They also reported seeing a massive complex with strange machines operated by automatons:
“…There are, as far as we can determine, seven openings from the outer crust to cavities yet unseen by surface man. One such opening is the gigantic gap at the north pole while the matching entrance being at our South Pole area. Of the five remaining, we can pinpoint them as being in South America, Russia, China, mid-Atlantic and one… in our northeastern hemisphere, not too far from the famed Hudson River.
“All openings mentioned are accessible with the exception of one located in the mid-Atlantic ocean. No opening lends to a dramatic entrance marked for your convenience with pointing signs, nor are they even obvious to the careful explorer who is sure he has covered every square mile of that location. The most obvious is generally unobserved.
“For South America, I can state that the opening is by way of a natural tunnel for part of its enormous length: Its location lies south of the Amazon Basin and west of the Brazilian Highlands in a range of 700 latitudes and 200 longitudes.
“A second opening, recorded on the microfilm taken from the tombs of the Gizeh Pyramid, points to the land now occupied by Russia. This is somewhat a large opening hidden behind a series of caverns south of Tonbou, north of Voronezaa and east of Livny, with a 90° latitude and a 300 longitude. This particular opening, as far as research has gone, indicates a closed tunnel system, either by the force of man or by the violence of nature over these many centuries. One expedition entered and reached a point of fallen rock extending miles in-depth, and never returned.
“A third passage is marked for China and due to the normal hostility, it becomes inaccessible. We do know, however, that such an opening does exist east of Kyaring, south of Ziling and due west of Bam. For all intent and purposes, this opening is yet unexplored by the people of China, either through the lack of money and equipment or a sheer lack of interest.
“The fourth and most direct route is completely inaccessible by people of the earth, for its location is marked at a 40° longitude, or 1,0029 meters below the surface of the Atlantic Ocean. Such an opening would have placed you at the midpoint of the Atlantean continent had it still remained on top of our earth’s crust. Unfortunately, there are no indications that this is factual and could very well be a distorted location to throw all ancients off the track of the secret entrances around the world. There is one fact that is certain for there is a direct connection with the well known Bermuda Triangle and the many mysteries surrounding it.
“The fifth entrance is located here in the United States and is the opening that forms the basis for this book. Its location is mapped to a point just off route 6 that extends from Iahopoa to Brewster, New York. As to a definite explanation of why this particular continent of the United States was chosen for an opening is principally due to the formation of the outer crust and the coolness of the mantle beneath it. (Apparently, Mr. Lewis only knows of these few entrances as was not familiar with the dozens [of hundreds] of other reports of strange tunnels and caverns beneath the surface of the USA alone. – Branton)
“The United States, South America, China, and Russia, at the time of such excavations, were unoccupied in the area of such planned tunnels. These areas (speculatory thoughts only) were chosen for their climate, trade winds and the fact they could remain breathing holes for centuries – utterly undetected by the surface inhabitant…”
Pages 16-17 of the same book continues as follows:
“…Today, our earth contains hundreds of thousands of miles of tunnel systems – a network varying from the underground arched tunnels from Trenton, New Jersey to Bordentown of the same area … to the network in Colorado Springs mountain – operated by our government, the unknown tunnels beneath New York City, the extensive system now in the Himalaya Mountains of China and the deep network of tunnel mastery that are buried deep beneath the solid rock of our ocean beds. When you take into consideration that most of this tunneling was done without your knowledge, especially here in America, nothing should surprise the average reader to find that thousands of more miles exist below our surface in the form of caverns and passageways.
“This vast network of tunnels buried far beneath earth’s surface now extends from Hyderabad India, around the northern tip of the Arabian Sea, through the land bridge south of Jordan, across Egypt and extending northwest to areas above Pearland. Greenland is but one small division of the system. Other tunnels were bored through solid rock from the Pearland Junction, south and slightly westward to the Cumberland Peninsula of Finland and south to the mountain ranges of Tennessee and again westward to a dead-end in the deserts of Arizona. There are other networks that connect Yucatan with a location just west of Bandeirante, Brazil.
“Others will form automatically when drawn on a world map. Bermuda and its triangle carry equal mystery as that of Yucatan, Bandeirante, Easter Island, Egypt, and India. In the booklet, ‘Mysteries of the Pyramids’, the tunnels are revealed with detailed drawings originating below the Pyramid of Gizeh.”
And finally, pages 30-31 of the same volume carry the following words:
“…There are facts regarding these inner caverns where some surface dwellers (such as you and I) have wandered into various tunnel openings and were never seen again. There are to date more than nine dozes accounts where people from our surface have entered cave openings and again, have not been heard from since the day of entry. There is no way to verify if they became hopelessly lost, and ventured beyond the point of no return or actually wandered into Utopia far in the depths of our earth.
“It is, however, the author’s opinion that not all of these odd nine dozen so-called adventurers lost their way to the point of no return. If, on the other hand, some did manage to escape detection on their journey and eventually reached a subterranean city, I could not even hazard a guess as to whether they would still be alive and reaping the benefits of an ultra-modern garden of Eden or befell disaster as an unwelcome intruder and immediately sentenced to a death fitting for this unforgettable sin of trespassing into another world.”
