The Smoky God

The Smoky God

"The Smoky God, or A Voyage Journey to the Inner Earth" is a novel of 1908 by Willis George Emerson (1856..1918), which is presented as a true account of the Norwegian sailor Olaf Jansen and explains how Jansen's sloop sailed through an entrance to the Earth's interior at the North Pole. It is notable as an early story about an underground civilization.

Plot introduction

For two years Jansen lived with the inhabitants of an underground network of colonies who, Emerson writes, were a full 12 feet tall and whose world was lit by a "smoky" central sun. Their capital city was said to be the original Garden of Eden. While Emerson does not use the name Agartha, later works such as Agartha - Secrets of the Subterranean Cities have identified the civilization Jansen encountered with Agartha.
