I had a very similar reaction as I scrolled down, somewhere between creepy and despair.

That's because the deeper you go, the closer you get to Hell, which everybody knows is at the exact center of the Earth: http://www.orthodoxengland.org.uk/demonsscr.htm

Wasn't the earth considered flat when hell became a concept? How could it have a center?

I don't know. The Greeks figured out the earth was spherical, but maybe everyone before them thought is was flat. Go ask the voices in the hole in Kola.
