This is your reminder that the alleged diary of Admiral Richard Byrd, which supposedly describes his trip into the hollow earth, claims that the hollow earth beings call themselves the "Arianni," speak a German-sounding language, and have swastikas on their aircrafts.

A Batalha da Antártica

O que há de tão especial na Antártica, que não permitem a ninguém sem autorização ir para lá? Esta é uma boa pergunta, e não há respostas conhecidas.

General reminder that if somebody reads the "diary" allegedly written by Admiral Richard Byrd and doesn't find it all at suspicious or concerning that the underground people Byrd supposedly met were "Nordic" in appearance, spoke with a "German" accent, used the swastika as their symbol, and called themselves the "Arianni," you should be side-eyeing that person pretty hard.
