    This book is about legends of the Hollow Earth and other underground cities and civilizations which might all be related. 
    The concept of there being a hollow Earth or inner area of the Earth where people have lived and do still exist has been around for hundreds of years. 
    Other stories and legends of underground cities are also discussed to show that there are many stories of people and other beings living underground in our past and maybe up until the present era. 
    Usually there is some fact as the basis for legends so all these stories make we wonder if there is some reality about civilizations existing underground on this Earth. These legends are geographically diverse and from different cultures so maybe there is something to them. 
    Near the end of the book I include some incredible science data about life actually existing miles under our Earth and an example of a real underground city we know about and have visited.

    Legacy of Empire - Britain...

    It is now more than seventy years since the creation of the state of Israel, yet its origins and the British Empire's historic responsibility for Palestine remain little known. Confusion persists too as to the distinction between anti-Zionism and anti-Semitism. In Legacy of Empire, Gardner Thompson offers a clear-eyed review of political Zionism and Britain's role in shaping the history of Palestine and Israel. Thompson explores why the British government adopted Zionism in the early twentieth century, issuing the Balfour Declaration in 1917 and then retaining it as the cornerstone of their rule in Palestine after the First World War. Despite evidence and warnings, over the next two decades Britain would facilitate the colonisation of Arab Palestine by Jewish immigrants, ultimately leading to a conflict which it could not contain. Britain's response was to propose the partition of an ungovernable land: a 'two-state solution' which - though endorsed by the United Nations after the Second World War - has so far brought into being neither two states nor a solution. A highly readable and compelling account of Britain's rule in Palestine, Legacy of Empire is essential for those wishing to better understand the roots of this enduring conflict.
