Reptilians, as in the evil space alien things?

I'm guessing said tunnels don't exist. There are lots of alcoves and some caves though, to my understanding.

Joe, Maybe you can use the tunnels to keep out of the sun, and get a shorter route from Tule to Peralta!

If the earth was hollow, that would mean that plate tectonics is not true. If that is the case, the Supes wouldn't exist - they're igneous in origin.

When I first read this I thought it was a subject about Republicans. :scared:

But I after spending about two years of my life in the Supers during my lifetime I can tell you that if there are tunnels out there they must be like you said, underground because I have never found them. ;)

Seismic images of the interior of the earth exist, yes. It is not solid rock though - most is molten (liquid) rock.

Yes. Some people could probably benefit from staying out of the hot sun...

So, the tunnels are underground.
Which make them harder to find than the above ground tunnels?

@trailhobo

Well that settles it!! Invisible portals to other dimensions... No wonder we can't readily find them! They're underground AND invisible... That's probably where the lost gold is!
