The Smoky God

During a storm they were pulled into a whirlpool and found themselves entering a hidden world within the Earth. This inner realm is described as a paradise with lush vegetation abundant resources and an advanced civilization known as the Smoky God. In this subterranean world Olaf and his father encounter tall fair-skinned beings who claim to be the descendants of the lost continent of Atlantis. The people of the Smoky God possess advanced technology enlightened knowledge and a peaceful way of life. Throughout the book Olaf describes various aspects of this underground realm including its geography climate society and religious beliefs. He portrays the people of the Smoky God as spiritually advanced with a strong connection to nature and a harmonious existence. The Smoky God is often categorized as a work of fiction or a literary hoax as there is no historical or scientific evidence to support the existence of a hollow Earth with an advanced civilization. The book is seen as a product of the late 19th and early 20th-century fascination with speculative and pseudoscientific theories. While The Smoky God may not be widely regarded as a credible account it remains an intriguing piece of literature within the realm of hollow Earth fiction. The book reflects the imaginative storytelling of its time drawing upon elements of adventure exploration and the fascination with hidden worlds.
