Edmund Kiss (1886-1960) was a German archaeologist who with Arthur Posnansky advanced the idea that Tiahuanaco had been built by Nordic refugees from Atlantis. He had worked with Posnansky at Tiahuanaco in the 1920’s including a search for evidence to support the theories of Hanns Hörbiger.

During the Third Reich was requested by Heinrich Himmler to take a team of researchers from the Ahnenerbe to continue studies at Tiahuanaco but the expedition was called off. Following that he briefly joined the Waffen SS. After the war he continued his interest in Atlantis, writing a book on Plato’s Critias and contributing to Egerton Sykes’ Atlantean Research newsletter in the 1950’s.

    Rafael Videla Eissmann, an historian at the Catholic University of Chile, has written a number of articles in Spanish^(a) regarding Kiss, as well as a wide range of other historical subjects.
