"Heinrich Himmler
and other Third Reich occultists in the 1930s latched onto the strange
idea that the Aryan race was not the product of evolution but descended
from semidivine beings who left the heavens and established a secret
civilization on Earth, possibly beneath Central Asia. Himmler, the head
of the SS, was so enthralled by the possibility of what he considered
celestial proof of the superiority of the white race that he provided
funding for an SS expedition to Tibet in 1938 in the hope of locating
his utopia, according to Black Sun, a 2001 history of Nazi occultism by the British historian Nicholas Goodrick-Clarke.
Almost
a century later, this idea of a lost Aryan civilization, called
Agartha, has caught on again, this time with teenagers posting memes
online. If you’re older than 25, you likely missed it.. ."
