Ever since at the end of the 18th century, scholars established the kinship of dozens of languages in the space from Ireland to India, they have been looking for a historical explanation of this phenomenon. Back in 1808, the German philosopher and philologist Friedrich Schlegel wrote that, obviously, many thousands of years ago, a certain proton people, whose homeland were the Himalayas, conquered India, Persia, all of Europe and created great ancient civilizations everywhere. The famous philologist gave him the name "Aryans" or "Aryans", which means "noble" in Sanskrit. In addition, he argued that it is the Germans who have the most right to be called the heirs of these "noble" ones.
By the beginning of the 20th century, the "Aryan theory" had become "Nordic". German philology now argued that Schlegel was mistaken in only one thing: Indo-European languages did not come from India to Europe, but, on the contrary, from Europe to India. The homeland of the Aryans is not the Himalayas, but Scandinavia and Northern Germany, therefore their peoples should be called the "Nordic race".
But only stones, or rather, rock carvings, could tell about the mythical ancient race. If the Egyptian or Sumerian civilizations left behind magnificent ruins and a huge amount of texts, then nothing remained of the "Empire of the North" about which the Nazis spoke so much.
“Nordic theory” remained one of the priority areas for the Ahnenerbe society from the moment of its foundation until its dissolution. After all, there was a hunt for the secrets of the "Nordic race", and any clay crock that the Aryan ancestors could touch was paganly regarded as a "key" to their secrets and shrines. Himmler raved about the idea of putting the "dormant in heirs" parapsychological abilities at the service of Nazism.
Just as the Italian Renaissance, pushing away from antiquity, gave birth to the entire culture of the New Time, the Nazi “Renaissance” was supposed to push off from the ancient Aryan era. And always at the forefront of searches and experiments was "Ahnenerbe".
From the first days of the society's existence, philologists, archaeologists, ethnographers and historians serving in it wrote educational programs for the SS, prepared slideshows, and shot scientific propaganda films. Each SS man was required to be taught the Edda and the reading of the runes. “Ahnenerbe” hastily developed wedding ceremonies, “consecration” of newborns (instead of baptism), handing over weapons to recruits, funerals …
Back in 1934, thirty kilometers from the city of Externstein, in the Teutoburg forest, Heinrich Himmler rented the ancient Wewelsburg castle for a symbolic fee. There he was going to establish the center of the Nazi "new religion", which was created in the depths of the SS as a synthesis of the paganism of the ancient Germans, true, not yet "poisoned by the Jews" Christianity and the occult of the 19th century. The castle was restored by prisoners of a concentration camp created nearby specifically for this purpose.
It houses the Occult Library, the Institute of Ancient History, the Archaeological Museum and the Nordic SS Academy.

The Third Reich was by its very nature a racist state, and the "problem of kinship" was very acute in it. But still, why did the SS leaders need to delve so deeply into the past, and even the spiritual? Here we come across an unexpected conclusion. Contrary to popular misconception, the ideology of Hitler and his associates had more international than narrowly national features. These people believed that once there was an Aryan protorace, to which mankind owes all its victories and discoveries.
Due to natural and social cataclysms, the Aryans scattered all over the world, and their "noble blood" mixed with the "plebeian blood of inferior peoples." So, in order to build an ideal state, it is necessary not only to destroy all the main "blood poisoners", but it is necessary to gather under its banner all the owners of "pure" blood, no matter whose veins it flows: a German or, say, a Tibetan.
The new headquarters of the society on the Pücklersch route in Berlin-Dahlem turned into something like the presidium of the SS Academy of Sciences, and "research departments" of various profiles were frantically created throughout Germany, these were the prototypes of fifty institutes that were to occupy over time leading position in German science.
However, despite the abundance of "applied research", the main task of "Ahnenerbe" still remained the building of the "Aryan picture of the world", and the most large-scale event of the society immediately before the war was field work in Tibet and the Himalayas. Ancient flora and fauna, as well as the remnants of the Aryans, who had parapsychological abilities, could survive only in the highest mountainous regions like Tibet or the Bolivian Andes. It was them who were looking for figures from the "Ahnenerbe" in the Himalayas.
Then the Second World War began, and the employees of "Ahnenerbe" now traveled not to distant exotic countries, but only to the territories occupied by the Wehrmacht. The special teams "Ancestral Heritage" were slowly plundering museums and libraries in Poland, France, Yugoslavia, the USSR. True, by agreement with Hitler and Goering, they left them works of fine art, but they completely disposed of ethnographic and especially archaeological materials.
There are fairly well-grounded assumptions that during the war the employees of the "Ahnenerbe" were also on the territory of modern Karelia at the time when the elite SS units, elite units were fighting fierce battles near Stalingrad and on the Kursk Bulge. Why did they "sit" in the forests of North Karelia, where there was no intense fighting? It was in these places that the medallion of an SS man of the "Dead's Head" division was discovered in our time. It is known that representatives of this division served as guards in death camps, but there were no such camps in Karelia. What were they doing here then? What or who was being guarded? After all, the Germans settled down thoroughly, There were electrical outlets in the dugouts and even in the trenches!
And one more riddle. As a result of the search, three caves were found, the entrances to which were blown up. If there were ammunition inside and the Germans destroyed them, the nature of the damage would be different. And here they blew up so that it was simply impossible to get inside. What was stored there?
Another curious fact. A search party from Murmansk, again in the same places, found an SS sword in the dugout. Only the highest ranks of the SS possessed such weapons, using them for magical rituals.
The interest of the highest ranks of the Third, the Reich, like Hitler himself, in all kinds of occult sciences is well known. Several trips to Tibet were made in 1938 under the aegis of the occult organization "Ahnenerbe", an expedition to Antarctica. Most likely, Hitler knew about the campaign of the Soviet professor Alexander Barchenko to the Lovozero tundra, on the Kola Peninsula, where he was looking for the legendary Hyperborea. By the way, the expedition took place under the patronage of F. E. Dzerzhinsky himself, although it was officially initiated by the Institute for the Study of the Brain under the direction of Academician Bekhterev.
Few people know about this, but A. Barchenko planned research expeditions to Karelia, which he considered "the territory of ancient magical Knowledge", but did not have time: he was shot at the personal order of Stalin. The leader believed that a person with such knowledge could pose a threat to him.
There are more questions than answers. Why at the Nuremberg trials the testimony of the General Secretary of the "Ahnenerbe" SS Standartenfuehrer Wolfram Sievers was so abruptly interrupted when he was about to give his first and last names? Why was he shot so quickly? Was there anything to hide?
Why was it Dr. Cameron, who was present in Nuremberg as part of the American delegation and studied the activities of the Ahnenerbe, then headed the Blue Bird project of the CIA, within the framework of which developments in psychoprogramming and psychotronics were carried out?
"Ahnenerbe" is one of the most mysterious mystical organizations, which tried to squeeze any practically applicable theories out of the secret knowledge of Eastern occultism and European mystics. Some believe that the information received by the Ahnenerbe in Tibet has significantly advanced the development of atomic weapons in the Reich. As if Nazi scientists even managed to create some prototypes of a military atomic charge, and the allies at the end of the war discovered them.
The Soviet intelligence was also very interested in this secret organization. But it was extremely difficult to find approaches to the Ahnenerbe members. They were under the constant control of the German security service. And if most of the reconnaissance operations of the Second World War have already been declassified, the work of Ahnenerbe is still shrouded in mystery. So, maybe the members of this secret organization with some kind of mission were in North Karelia, looking for something there? Perhaps the elite SS troops arrived here for a reason.
In Karelia, the knowledge of the ancient wise men was preserved, and the Germans wanted to possess this knowledge in order to gain power over humanity. After all, the SS men were looking for not only specific artifacts, but also places of accumulation of energy and strength. They were doing this in Tibet, they could have the same tasks in Karelia. In fact, they were looking for the possibility of creating psychotropic weapons to manipulate the minds of people.
The very name "Ahnenerbe" says little to people who are superficially familiar with the history of the Third Reich. Meanwhile, suffice it to say that its president was Heinrich Himmler, who charged his subordinates with a total search of all archives and documents of national special services, scientific laboratories, Masonic secret societies and occult sects, preferably around the world. A special expedition "Ahnenerbe" was immediately sent to each newly occupied country by the Wehrmacht.
Let's not forget about what the Russian Masons, and the special units of the NKVD and the KGB, and the special units of the SS of Nazi Germany were striving for - the search for the “golden bowl of the Vikings,” supposedly possessing tremendous magical power. Not found. However, the stubborn rumor of the people tirelessly repeats - they saw, lies. Needless to say - just in the region of North Karelia that we are talking about and which aroused such burning interest among the Germans.
From the depths of memory emerges a hidden, intimate "sub-goal" of N. Roerich's trip to the city of Serdobol (now Sortavala) at the beginning of the XX century. The great artist and mystic, while still in Petrograd and seriously engaged in archeology and ancient history, obtained information about the "golden cup of the Vikings" and its possible location in some secret Masonic sources (they were used by Roerich when planning an expedition to the East, to the Himalayas) … He pointed out that these sources go back to the most ancient and absolutely authentic documents. The latter, already in the Middle Ages, allegedly fell to the Templars, and after the destruction and prohibition of the order, they became the property of other secret societies. They are kept somewhere to this day.
Another confirmation that there is something for magicians to do in these places is a doctor's report to the local branch of the KGB, written in 1980. Five kilometers from the village of Kestenga, an incident occurred that was talked about for a long time in scientific circles, but little was reported about it in the Soviet press.
Two local residents - Ari Sarvi and Mauro Erkko - saw a brightly luminous object flying in the forest near Topozero Lake, which suddenly hovered over them. Ari suddenly felt that someone pushed him in the back. Looking around, he saw a one meter tall creature in a helmet and overalls, as it seemed to both - without a face, that is, instead of a face, there was a smooth surface. The creature stood for a while, then picked up the black pipe hanging from its neck and directed it at Ari.
Both eyewitnesses lost their sight for several minutes, and when they saw their sight, Ari felt that the right side of his body was paralyzed. Two Moscow scientists investigated the case and came to the conclusion that these simple, not very educated guys simply could not come up with such a story. Yes, and four local residents said that they saw a bright ray in the sky, sweeping like a projectile, at an incredible speed.
Something similar in these places during the war was repeatedly observed by Soviet troops.
If we compare the maps of Karelia during the war years and the newest geological faults, we get an interesting thing: the front line passed along them for three years. And faults are almost always an anomalous zone.
