NOTES

During the Atlantis age, Atlantis and Mu and the other civilization of that time were destroyed by an "armageddon weapon" that went awry.
All the details in "Gli Uomini In Nero" (Martin Mystère Gigante n. 3).
Or just check out our online episode Doctor SulkaLove or "How I Learned To Stop Worrying and Love the End-of-the-World Weapon", chronicling the same events (and also featuring Sulka Nanazca!).
The scene of panel 1 is based on the post-apocalyptic events chronicled in the aforementioned "Gli Uomini In Nero" (Martin Mystère Gigante n. 3).

The Future Version of Torn is different from the present-time one.
Future Torn looks older, but he is also powerful enough to open a dimensional passage to the Hollow Earth.
Learn how these changes will come to pass in Antarctica: Zero Hour (also featuring the return of doctor Ameera).

The official issues of Martin Mystère never mentioned the Hollow Earth playing a key role in becoming a shelter for the survivors of the Atlantean armageddon, but that sounds simply logical to us.
The Martin Mystère universe is full of "hidden civilizations" such as Faerie or Agarthi, inhabiting other dimensions but strongly connected to Earth.
Were Earth (even the present-time one) to come to a catastrophic end, salvation in form of a shelter should logically come from many similar places.

Panel 2 shows the birth of the future Regions of the Hollow Earth, which will achieve a different level of technological development in "Il giardino del diavolo" (Martin Mystère nn.165-166).
The Science Citadel will spawn the "Asian Region", while the Primitives will be the ancestors of the Nazi Region.

The Mammoth is a typical sample of the Nazi Region fauna, as seen in "Al centro della Terra" (Martin Mystère n. 115bis).
