Etidorhpa / Aphroditeĭuring his underground journey, the main protagonist of the story comes into contact with creatures from the hollow earth. With elements connected to Freemasonry, Etidorhpa is a book whose title when read backwards results in “Aphrodite”, the Greek name of the goddess “Venus” (of Red Room fame). The book describes a subterranean trip (both physical and mental) of a man who has been abducted to a cave in Kentucky, where he discovers a vast underground realm below the surface of the planet. This science-fiction novel is part of a sub-genre of hollow earth narratives that imagine another world in the center of the globe (more information on this subject in my former blog post here). This reversal of the word gives me the opportunity to discuss a novel by John Uri Lloyd from the end of the 19th century (1895) entitled ETIDORHPA (or, the end of the earth: the strange history of a mysterious being and the account of a remarkable journey). Episode 7 gives Gordon Cole the opportunity to explain the reversed use by Mr C of the word “VERY” to his team (which becomes “YREV” ) and to link this to his disturbing set of fingerprints, which should probably be linked to those of Douglas Milford in Mark Frost’s The Secret History of Twin Peaks, with lines in the shape of a spiral.
