A story in AMAZING STORIES magazine., Jan. 1947 issue: Describes the author’s three-year stay with a race of tall, friendly subterranean ‘giants‘, who due to their peaceful existence and intelligence are far more technologically advanced in many respects than those on the surface. These people, known as the “Nephli“, claim to be descended from an ancient race who also explored and colonized other star-systems, and they live in huge cavern-cities deep beneath the surface of Mexico. One of the entrances to these underground cities, the one which Ms. Rogers entered according to her account, is located near the Mexican city of Ixtaccihuatl… with another entrance being within the “Cave de Los Vientos” (Or, the “Cave of the Winds”). There is a cave by this name which is part of the huge “Brinco Sistema Purification” cavern network, however, whether this is the one Ms. Rogers referred to or another one with a similar name, is uncertain.

   — Letter in AMAZING STORIES magazine., Feb. 1948., p. 105: Tells about the author’s book, “BEGINNING“, which is based on the original article in AMAZING STORIES magazine – “I Have Been in the Caves“, yet much more detailed and updated than the original version. Published by the author., 1947., 77 pp. Details the author’s stay in the caverns of the “NEPHLI“, including the science, history, and religion of this race.
