In Edgar Rice Burroughs' *Pellucidar*, explorer David Innes discovers a mysterious telegraph instrument buried in the Sahara Desert, which he believes connects to a subterranean world. Following a letter from Algiers, he travels to meet the author, Nestor, and together they descend into the earth to reach Pellucidar, a sunlit inner world. Upon arrival, Innes finds his half-savage mate, Dian the Beautiful, held captive by the villainous Hooja on the island of Anoroc. Accompanied by his loyal hyaenodon, Raja, Innes navigates a landscape populated by primitive human tribes, giant reptiles, and hostile forces. Initially captured by the Thurians, he eventually wins their trust and launches a daring raid to rescue Dian from Hooja's stronghold. After securing Dian's freedom, Innes and the federated tribes embark on a campaign to overthrow the Mahars, a dominant race of reptilian monsters, and their gorilla-like soldiers, the Sagoths. Innes marches from city to city, liberating human tribes and establishing a vast empire. The narrative details his conquests, the integration of various primitive peoples into a unified society, and the eventual establishment of a utopian civilization. This new society is characterized by peace, education, and the absence of money, as Innes and Dian build a new world under the perpetual sun. The story concludes with the construction of great cities, the development of industry and agriculture, and the creation of a harmonious society free from the evils of the outer world, marking the triumph of civilization over savagery in the buried realm.
