00:00:07,640 --> 00:00:14,520
journey to the center of the Earth chapter 1 the mysterious message was a

2
00:00:14,520 --> 00:00:20,800
quiet afternoon in Hamburg when Professor Otto Liden Brock, famous scientist and man with an

3
00:00:20,800 --> 00:00:26,480
impatient character, returned home with an old book under his arm, he had just bought it from an

4
00:00:26,480 --> 00:00:33,720
antique dealer, I, his nephew Axel, was used to his sudden enthusiasms but this time he seemed more

5
00:00:33,720 --> 00:00:40,400
agitated than usual inside the book hidden between the pages we found a yellowed sheet written

6
00:00:40,400 --> 00:00:46,760
with strange signs "it's an encrypted message" exclaimed the professor with eyes that they shone he spent

7
00:00:46,760 --> 00:00:53,840
hours studying it without drinking or eating "I tried to calm him down but it was impossible curiosity

8
00:00:53,840 --> 00:01:03,400
consumed him finally by observing carefully he understood something it was an ancient Icelandic code with effort and a bit

9
00:01:03,400 --> 00:01:10,160
of luck we managed to decipher it together the words that appeared left us breathless

10
00:01:10,160 --> 00:01:16,920
they spoke of a passage to the center of the Earth hidden inside an extinct volcano in Iceland

11
00:01:16,920 --> 00:01:23,280
the professor had no doubts we had to leave immediately I tried to protest but he was already

12
00:01:23,280 --> 00:01:30,160
up packing papers and instruments that night he didn't sleep and if it was true if

13
00:01:30,160 --> 00:01:36,040
there really was a path that leads to the heart of our planet a shiver ran down my

14
00:01:36,040 --> 00:01:44,800
spine we had just opened the door of a mystery chapter 2 preparations for the adventure

15
00:01:45,320 --> 00:01:51,520
the next day the professor's house looked like a crazy laboratory compasses ropes picks maps

16
00:01:51,520 --> 00:02:00,920
and supplies occupied every corner lidenbrock was unstoppable I on the other hand was full of doubts

17
00:02:00,920 --> 00:02:06,920
a journey to the center of the Earth seemed madness but opposing it was useless when my uncle

18
00:02:06,920 --> 00:02:13,920
had an idea in his head nothing stopped him after a few days we were already traveling towards Iceland

19
00:02:13,920 --> 00:02:21,000
the island of ice and fire we crossed rough seas dirt roads and desolate landscapes

20
00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:29,400
until we arrived in Reikavik the capital there the professor looked for an expert guide and found Hans

21
00:02:29,400 --> 00:02:35,760
a tall man silent and strong as a rock he didn't speak much but his eyes said

22
00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:42,840
we could trust with Hans at our side we headed towards the Sneffels volcano mentioned in the

23
00:02:42,840 --> 00:02:50,840
message it was huge imposing covered in snow but now inactive for centuries according to the message only

24
00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:56,160
on a specific day of the year when the shadow of a certain peak touched the crater we could

25
00:02:56,160 --> 00:03:02,120
find the entrance we camped at the foot of the volcano waiting for that moment the sun

26
00:03:02,120 --> 00:03:09,080
was high the shadows were getting longer the professor was watching impatiently I was holding my breath the moment

27
00:03:09,080 --> 00:03:19,400
of truth was about to arrive chapter 3 inside the volcano finally the awaited day arrived the

28
00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:24,720
sun was high in the sky and the professor with the manuscript in his hands was observing the crater

29
00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:33,440
carefully suddenly he pointed to a large rock there is the shadow of Scartaris the entrance it's

30
00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:42,000
below us" he said enthusiastically without wasting time we began the descent the crater was deep

31
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:49,400
slippery and dark the sun's rays disappeared as we descended lower and lower between walls

32
00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:57,840
of lava rock and absolute silence each step rumbled like thunder hans drove calmly

33
00:03:57,840 --> 00:04:05,320
without ever making mistakes the professor wrote down every detail I tried to stay calm but

34
00:04:05,320 --> 00:04:11,800
fear grew inside me and if we never found the way back if we ended up buried

35
00:04:11,800 --> 00:04:19,960
down there after hours of walking through narrow and slippery tunnels we would we stopped to rest the professor

36
00:04:19,960 --> 00:04:27,880
was happy as a child I was destroyed by fatigue I drank a sip of water and looked up

37
00:04:27,880 --> 00:04:35,800
the sky was now only a memory just when I thought that nothing could surprise me more Hans

38
00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:44,560
showed us a fork in the tunnel two roads two opposite directions but which one led to the center

39
00:04:44,560 --> 00:04:53,320
of the Earth the silence was broken only by a distant echo chapter 4 lost underground in front

40
00:04:53,320 --> 00:04:59,640
of us two tunnels opened up the professor without hesitation chose the right path "according to

41
00:04:59,640 --> 00:05:06,480
the calculate this is the right way" Hans said confidently I followed him I followed them full of

42
00:05:06,480 --> 00:05:13,040
doubts we walked for now in an unreal silence interrupted only by our steps and the noise

43
00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:18,280
of the drops of water falling from the rocks the heat increased and the air became

44
00:05:18,280 --> 00:05:25,760
heavier and heavier then suddenly the tunnel ended in a closed wall a dead end the

45
00:05:25,760 --> 00:05:33,840
furious professor refused to go back but it was the only choice so reluctantly we resumed the

46
00:05:33,840 --> 00:05:41,800
I walk backwards and that's exactly when it happened while I was looking for water I took a

47
00:05:41,800 --> 00:05:51,240
side path and got lost I called out I screamed no response my heart was beating hard only underground without

48
00:05:51,240 --> 00:05:58,640
light or direction the silence was deafening I walked randomly for hours without knowing where I was going

49
00:05:58,640 --> 00:06:07,520
the water was over hope also then an idea if I had shouted in a narrow tunnel the echo

50
00:06:07,520 --> 00:06:16,160
could have carried the sound to the other liden Brock I shouted waited after a long silence

51
00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:27,080
a voice was far away but it was him I still had a chance chapter 5 the underground world

52
00:06:27,080 --> 00:06:33,440
following his uncle's voice he finally managed to find the right path after hours of walking

53
00:06:33,440 --> 00:06:41,200
in the dark seeing the faces of Hans and the professor was an immense relief we hugged each other without words

54
00:06:41,760 --> 00:06:47,960
we had passed our first real test we resumed our journey along a new tunnel

55
00:06:47,960 --> 00:06:54,400
that seemed to go down even deeper the air became cooler then something

56
00:06:54,400 --> 00:07:02,560
incredible happened a strange light like a blue dawn began to illuminate the tunnel we walked faster

57
00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:10,560
driven by curiosity suddenly an enormous cave opened in front of us it was immense

58
00:07:10,560 --> 00:07:16,200
like another world beneath the surface of the Earth an underground sea extended to

59
00:07:16,200 --> 00:07:22,440
the horizon the light waves moved under a stone sky on the banks

60
00:07:22,440 --> 00:07:29,320
giant mushrooms grew fossil trees and ancient plants like those of the time of the dinosaurs "it's impossible"

61
00:07:29,320 --> 00:07:35,680
I whispered "but it was all true the professor was ecstatic he decided that we would cross that

62
00:07:35,680 --> 00:07:41,320
sea to see where it led we built a raft with the materials found in the cave and

63
00:07:41,320 --> 00:07:49,840
the next day we set sail the silence was profound broken only by the lapping of the water but under

64
00:07:49,840 --> 00:07:59,480
that calm something was moving and he was watching us chapter 6 prehistoric creatures

65
00:07:59,480 --> 00:08:04,720
our raft was slowly sliding on the sea Liden Brock as my

66
00:08:04,720 --> 00:08:10,320
uncle had already christened it around us the darkness was broken only by flashes of electric light that crossed the

67
00:08:10,320 --> 00:08:18,760
rocky sky yes lightning under the ground it seemed impossible and yet everything was real we rowed in

68
00:08:18,760 --> 00:08:26,440
silence attentive to every movement of the water then suddenly a gigantic creature emerged a

69
00:08:26,440 --> 00:08:32,520
marine reptile with the head similar to that of a crocodile and the body of a whale immediately

70
00:08:32,520 --> 00:08:38,760
after a second monster emerged from another part of the sea we stopped breathless while the two

71
00:08:38,760 --> 00:08:44,480
animals were getting closer to each other they hadn't noticed us they were fighting the waves

72
00:08:44,480 --> 00:08:51,840
were growing the raft was swaying dangerously screams splashes prehistoric roars it was a clash

73
00:08:51,840 --> 00:08:57,800
between titans like in the time of the dinosaurs after a furious battle the waters calmed down

74
00:08:57,800 --> 00:09:04,880
the monsters had disappeared leaving us shocked but alive we resumed our journey more cautious than ever

75
00:09:04,880 --> 00:09:11,520
after hours of sailing a storm suddenly hit us lightning strong winds waves

76
00:09:11,520 --> 00:09:19,120
as high as houses a lightning hit the raft everything went black when I reopened my eyes I was alone

77
00:09:19,120 --> 00:09:27,120
on an unknown beach chapter 7 under lost continents I got up with difficulty on the

78
00:09:27,120 --> 00:09:33,520
beach soaked and confused the underground sea stretched behind me calm and silent as if

79
00:09:33,520 --> 00:09:41,560
nothing had happened I called my uncle I called Hans no answer I was alone again but at least I was

80
00:09:41,560 --> 00:09:47,800
alive I walked along the coast looking for traces of my companions at a certain point

81
00:09:47,800 --> 00:09:54,720
I glimpsed fresh footprints on the sand they were Hans's I wasn't sure I had almost reached them

82
00:09:54,720 --> 00:10:00,600
walking again I found myself in front of an incredible landscape giant bones scattered on the ground

83
00:10:00,600 --> 00:10:06,880
skeletons of animals that had been extinct for millions of years and then a human skull at least three times the size

84
00:10:06,880 --> 00:10:13,160
of the normal one it was possible that gigantic prehistoric men had existed down here I arrived

85
00:10:13,160 --> 00:10:19,840
in an underground forest where the vegetation was dense strange silent huge leaves

86
00:10:19,840 --> 00:10:28,520
luminous mosses then I heard voices I ran towards the sound and there I found my uncle and Hans were alive

87
00:10:28,520 --> 00:10:34,280
we hugged each other in relief and in disbelief the professor wasted no time "we are walking under a

88
00:10:34,280 --> 00:10:41,640
lost continent" he said enthusiastically "maybe Atlantis itself?" But the joy did not last long a little

89
00:10:41,640 --> 00:10:50,080
further on the earth was shaking a deep rumble rose from the ground something was about to explode

90
00:10:50,080 --> 00:10:57,360
chapter 8 the unexpected return the ground was shaking more and more strongly the walls of the cave

91
00:10:57,360 --> 00:11:04,920
boulders creaked and fell around us an eruption shouted the professor we had to escape

92
00:11:04,920 --> 00:11:10,560
but there was no way out only a narrow and steep tunnel that rose upwards with no

93
00:11:10,560 --> 00:11:18,240
alternative we threw ourselves in that direction the heat increased with every step the noise of the magma

94
00:11:18,240 --> 00:11:27,800
became deafening we climbed we climbed driven by fear and hope the walls were red hot the

95
00:11:27,800 --> 00:11:35,960
sweat covered our faces then suddenly an enormous push lifted us from the ground we were

96
00:11:35,960 --> 00:11:42,560
inside a geiser an enormous column of steam shot us upwards like rockets I don't remember anything else

97
00:11:42,560 --> 00:11:50,800
just light noise and then darkness when I reopened my eyes I was lying on the grass real grass

98
00:11:50,800 --> 00:11:59,600
real sun fresh air we were on a hill a farmer was looking at us surprised "you came out of the

99
00:11:59,600 --> 00:12:06,360
Stromboli crater" he said we had climbed up another volcano from Italy

100
00:12:06,360 --> 00:12:12,400
we had crossed the planet the professor wrote it all down with pride no one would

101
00:12:12,400 --> 00:12:18,920
ever believe it but we knew the truth we had traveled to the center of the Earth and we had

102
00:12:18,920 --> 00:12:31,000
returned several times stronger and with a secret that no one could ever have delete it
