Holy Grail

Huffman, Harry Dale

Published May 31, 2010

Harry Dale Huffman is an independent American researcher with an interest in ancient mysteries. He has written a book, The End of the Mystery^[¹⁵³^], in which he offers his views on a wide range of subjects including the Holy Grail, the Sphinx and Atlantis. He controversially claims that Atlantis was located on a landmass that included parts of Greenland, Iceland and the British Isles, before being moved by some form of tectonic movement, that brought it from the Indian Ocean to its present position over a vast time span⁽^a⁾⁽^b⁾. He tenaciously clings to the idea that the speculative map of Atlantis, published by Athanasius Kircher is a true representation of the outline of Plato’s island.>He also explains that although Greenland does not match the shape of Kircher’s island, it is because part of it broke off and became Iceland.<I cannot see how Huffman’s claims can stand up to even the most cursory investigation.

>Kircher’s map clearly places Atlantis between the Strait of Gibraltar and America, not between Canada and Scandinavia. Apart from this Kircher favoured the Azores and Canaries as the remnants of Atlantis.<

Huffman’s radical thinking also extends to the ‘hot’ subject of global warming, regarding which, he disputes the extent of the effect that CO₂ has on the global climate^(c).

>He has also written a number of papers on ‘Ancient Mysteries’.^(d⁾<

Gardiner, Philip

Published May 29, 2010

Philip Gardiner is an English researcher and successful author. His interests include secret societies, alternative history and the Holy Grail^(b). His best-known work is The Shining Ones^[1228], not to be confused with a book of the same name by the late Christian O’Brien. Gardiner has written a short article⁽^a⁾ in which he suggests America held the land of Atlantis, being the only large landmass beyond Gibraltar, where he believes Plato’s ‘Pillars of Heracles’ were located.

Based on a number of factors including linguistics, he favours Mexico as the location of Plato’s lost land!^(e)

Some of Gardiner’s papers are available on the Bibliotecapleyades website^(d).

Gardiner is also the narrator of a 2014 documentary entitled Atlantis, The Lost World^(c).

Ahnenerbe-SS *

Published May 26, 2010

Ahnenerbe-SS or to give it its full title, Ahnenerbe Forschungs und Lehrgemeinschaft (The Ancestral Heritage Research and Teaching Society), was founded by Heinrich Himmler in 1935 but did not become part of the SS until 1940. It was one of the more bizarre aspects of the Nazi regime, as it attempted to give legitimacy to the notion of German supremacy by claiming that they were direct descendants from an original perfect race, the Atlanteans.

When you add this to the Nazi support for Hans Hoerbiger’s crazy cosmology⁽ⁱ⁾, strange expeditions to Tibet, and SS agents attempting to steal Crystal Skulls in South America, you cannot help wondering how such eccentric activities could have been accepted by the higher echelons of the Nazi establishment. It is contended that the Germans maintained strong links with Tibet and it is reported that when the Russians entered Berlin in 1945 they found many Tibetan corpses in SS uniforms, apparently after committing ritual suicide. This frequently quoted account is more than suspect.

The Ahnenerbe also studied the occult, a matter that has been investigated by a number of writers, including an early work^[⁰²⁷^] by Herbie Brennan, whose book is complemented by The Occult History of the Third Reich website⁽^a⁾. The same site reviews the place of Atlantis in Nazi thinking^(g⁾ as well as an overview of the Ahnenerbe^(h⁾.

The attitude towards occultism in Nazi Germany seems to have been ambivalent, as represented in a paper^(j) by Eric Kurlander who noted that “In her groundbreaking work on German esotericsm, Corinna Treitel represents the views of much recent scholarship when she concludes, ‘Occultism ceased its highly public presence as part of Germany’s refomist milieu of cultural experimentation only after 1937, when the Nazi regime suppressed occultism as one of its many ideological enemies.’

The evidence in this chapter, while not entirely incompatible with this statement, suggests a more complex picture. First and most importantly, the Nazi regime was much more selective in its suppression of occult and other border sciences than Treitel and other revisionist accounts suggest.”

The quest for the Holy Grail was also high on the Ahnenerbe agenda, which was led by one Otto Rahn^(k⁾. He eventually fell from favour and as punishment was assigned to work in the SS-run Dachau concentration camp⁽^a)(l^).

The Ahnenerbe attracted many seeking to avoid military service, as its work was considered essential to the war effort. It had fifty different research branches known as ‘Institutes’ and also ran a large publishing operation. It had Institutes dealing with Celtic Studies, Musicology and Norse Gods, but its most abhorrent activities were the carrying out of experiments on live humans, mainly from the concentration camps.

Anton Loibl

The unbelievable ideas, including an Atlantean ancestry for the Nazis that were peddled by the Ahnenerbe are extensively covered in the recent ‘must read’ book^(m), The Master Plan by Heather Pringle^[⁰³²^]. Her fascinating book includes an account of Himmler’s bizarre plan to exploit the mandatory use of bicycle reflectors to fund the activities of the Ahnenerbe!

Incidentally, the reflectors was invented in 1936 by one of Hitler’s chauffeurs, Anton Loibl, who formed a limited company (Anton Loibl GmbH)^(e) with the SS^(b)which channelled part of the royalty income to the Ahnenerbe, to fund their expeditions around the world seeking evidence for the origins of the Aryan ‘master race’.

However, Pringle also exposes the involvement of the Ahnenerbe in the plundering of museums in occupied countries and, more seriously, the painful and often fatal medical ‘experiments’ carried out on concentration camp inmates.

Film clips, in German, relating to the Anenerbe are available on the Internet^(c).
