I actually have not. I just had to google his name, but I will definitely put it on my reading list! I actually thought I was pretty alienated in this theory. As you see, I grew up just a town or so over from the worlds longest cave system. Mammoth Cave Kentucky is literally something out of fairy tales. Inside the caverns lie endless trails, beautiful rock formations,dangerous journeys, tight squeezes, and at one time... giant mummies. When I was a child I toured the cave system for the first time on a field trip, at that time it probably would have been maybe 1998-2000. At the end of the cave tour right before you climbed the grand staircase to exit the cave stood an upright coffin with a glass face. And in that coffin was a mummy that was 9.5 feet tall from my young memory, and it had long orange hair. it was draped in wool skins. Today, however it is no longer there and the new younger cave tour guides do not really seem to know much about it other than the general "Native American remains have indeed been found in the cave"

Even above ground there are beautiful trails, huge hollows, endless waterfalls, thousands of cave entrances and a few beautiful rivers. But as you can tell, I am ultimately going somewhere with this story..

Even as a child I knew that mummy was interesting, we didn't have people that tall alive now. Thats probably one of the things that really peaked my interest for many years. There were always ghost stories about the cave, tons of old native american stories, local folklore and what not. Jesse James himself is said to have hid gold in a section of the cave miles off from the National Park.

With all these stories I learned of the Moon Eyed People. When the Native Americans came to this region of the Americas for the very first time, they were greeted by the Moon Eyed People, they were a tall pale white haired blue eyed race that guarded the lands and the animals. They could not see good during the day, and primarily came out at night time. They were peaceful, but strong in their protection of the lands, they did not allow the Natives to settle in the land of the Appalachias or in California, and they were not allowed to hunt the buffalo or deer in any sort of large parties. As the Natives had finally found lands they could easily survive on they set up shop and grew in numbers. They eventually decided to turn on the Moon Eyed People and take the lands, pushing them into the ground and off the surface of the Earth, but they did not eliminate them, they simply retreated inside the caves never to be seen again.

Over 400 miles of Mammoth Cave have currently been mapped, and no one is really exactly sure how much more of it there is. It stretches a long long way. The park is filled with beautiful white sycamore trees, and were home to an albino squirrel.

There are freemasons to this day that conduct ceremonies in the cave systems. If you look on the Hollow Earth map, it shows two locations in North America for entry. Mt Shasta California and Mammoth Cave Kentucky. Both areas are riddled with endless cave systems, both proposed entries.

I took this data and thought, well, the native americans had to come from somewhere, probably very quickly. So how would that fit into the narrative? and then James Cameron popped into my head. I fucking love Avatar man. I applied that to real life ancient knowledge and stories of the Annunaki coming here for gold. The Marines traveled there in search of precious metals, they set up base and began bringing people in. They multipled in numbers, equipment, and then brought in specialists to talk to the people. The symbolism took an even stranger term when I thought about the giant Devils Tower out in the midwest, and how so many people think about it once being a giant standing tree. It had to come down some how if it was.

So just like "The Life of Pi" I just swapped out the characters and told the same story, and it seemed like it made sense to me, definitely not all of it, but the general plot.

Could there be people that live in the Earth? Absolutely! Does it make sense that the Moon Eyed People only came out at night because they lived underground? Its likely. Why would you live on the surface to experience and survive the elements when its incredibly safe underground. For me, the intensity is added when it says they retreated into the ground when aggravated.

Could they have came out whenever Annunaki ships came? its heavily plausible that troops came to surface, scouted, remained to study, interacted, and then retreated to avoid conflict.

But of course, thats a wild theory that focuses on a significant amount of what ifs.
