In this episode, we delve into the bizarre yet chilling reality behind Nazi archaeology. Inspired by Heinrich Himmler’s SS-backed Ahnenerbe Institute, the Third Reich sought to prove Germans were descended from a “superior” ancient race and the founders of all culture. This led them on global expeditions—from Finland and Sweden to Tibet and even Antarctica—to gather “evidence” supporting their theories.

There's a lot of emphasis on the idea that super-proto-germans settled the world, but with a specific interest in the lands now held by Ukraine and other slavic nations. Were there any ties to irredentist narratives about the Goths that had once resided in the region, or claims of ownership over the original Indo-European culture, or was Himmler tying the wagon entirely to Atlantean Super Germans from the Moon? No not that moon the other secret moons. Also is the ice moon stuff where the conspiracy theory trope of moon nazis comes from or is that just a coincidence?

This is the episode of this series that I have been looking forward to! A pity it only came after what must have easily been been one of the most controversial and politically charged U.S. Presidential Elections in recent history.

I understand that actual symbols and Nazis don’t play well with videos and stuff. But, frankly, using the black-red-gold tricolor flag felt quite cringy to me. Just a comment, I’m not German and wasn’t offended or anything, but it felt… wrong?

ExtraCredits

Yeah it was really hard picking symbols in this series. We really don't want our videos to get taken down because of anything but I'm sure Rob will go over why we chose certain symbols in our lies video.

ExtraCredits

Those are certainly Rob Questions! I'll make sure to get them on the sheet I send Rob for our Lies Video
