The presence of the open sea in the Northland is also explained. Olaf Jansen
claims that the northern aperture, intake or hole, so to speak, is about
fourteen hundred miles across. In connection with this, let us read what
Explorer Nansen writes, on page 288 of his book: "I have never had such a
splendid sail. On to the north, steadily north, with a good wind, as fast as
steam and sail can take us, an open sea mile after mile, watch after watch,
through these unknown regions, always clearer and clearer of ice, one might
almost say: 'How long will it last?' The eye always turns to the northward as
one paces the bridge. It is gazing into the future. But there is always the same
dark sky ahead which means open sea." Again, the Norwood Review of England, in
its issue of May 10, 1884, says: "We do not admit that there is ice up to the
Pole -- once inside the great ice barrier, a new world breaks upon the explorer,
the climate is mild like that of England, and, afterward, balmy as the Greek
Isles."
Some of the rivers "within," Olaf Jansen claims, are larger than our Mississippi
and Amazon rivers combined, in point of volume of water carried; indeed their
greatness is occasioned by their width and depth rather than their length, and
it is at the mouths of these mighty rivers, as they flow northward and southward
along the inside surface of the earth, that mammoth icebergs are found, some of
them fifteen and twenty miles wide and from forty to one hundred miles in
length.
Is it not strange that there has never been an iceberg encountered either in the
Arctic or Antarctic Ocean that is not composed of fresh water? Modern scientists
claim that freezing eliminates the salt, but Olaf Jansen claims differently.
Ancient Hindoo, Japanese and Chinese writings, as well as the hieroglyphics of
the extinct races of the North American continent, all speak of the custom of
sun-worshiping, and it is possible, in the startling light of Olaf Jansen's
revelations, that the people of the inner world, lured away by glimpses of the
sun as it shone upon the inner surface of the earth, either from the northern or
the southern opening, became dissatisfied with "The Smoky God," the great pillar
or mother cloud of electricity, and, weary of their continuously mild and
pleasant atmosphere, followed the brighter light, and were finally led beyond
the ice belt and scattered over the "outer" surface of the earth, through Asia,
Europe, North America and, later, Africa, Australia and South America. [1]
[1 The following quotation is significant; "It follows that man issuing from a
mother-region still undetermined but which a number of considerations indicate
to have been in the North, has radiated in several directions; that his
migrations have been constantly from North to South." -- M. le Marquis G. de
Saporta, in Popular Science Monthly, October, 1883, page 753.]
It is a notable fact that, as we approach the Equator, the stature of the human
race grows less. But the Patagonians of South America are probably the only
aborigines from the center of the earth who came out through the aperture
usually designated as the South Pole, and they are called the giant race.
Olaf Jansen avers that, in the beginning, the world was created by the Great
Architect of the Universe, so that man might dwell upon its "inside" surface,
which has ever since been the habitation of the "chosen."
They who were driven out of the "Garden of Eden" brought their traditional
history with them.
The history of the people living "within" contains a narrative suggesting the
story of Noah and the ark with which we are familiar. He sailed away, as did
