FACT: The Ahnenerbe was a Nazi think tank that sent expeditions all over the world in search of magical and supernatural artifacts. To Tibet, to search for traces of the original, uncorrupted Aryan race, and for a creature called the Yeti. To Ethiopia, in search of the Ark of the Covenant. To the Languedoc, to find the Holy Grail. To steal the Spear of Destiny, which Longinus used to pierce Christ’s side as Christ hung on the cross, and which disappeared from a locked vault in Nuremberg. To Iceland, to find the entrance to a magical land of telepathic giants and faeries called Thule, which Hitler and most of the Nazi brass believed was the place of origin of the Aryans, and was very real.
