New Releases by Timothy Green

A discussion of the theories of Richard S. Shaver, who claimed that he could hear voices and see visual projections of an ancient civilization that harbored fantastic technology in the caverns under the earth. According to Shaver''s theory, when the earth was still very young, it had been visited by an advanced race of beings, called the "Elder Gods," who originated from another solar system; the Elders created vast cities and tunnels underground. Later, most of the Elders left the Earth for another planet. Over a period of centuries, those who were left behind in the underground caverns deteriorated physically and mentally from the radioactivity of the sun, turning into insane cave dwellers that Shaver called "Deros." Shaver''s ideas originally appeared in science fiction magazines such as Amazing Stories, but Shaver later claimed that the stories, while presented in the guise of fiction, were fundamentally true.
