Hitler's Quest for the Holy Grail and the Ark of the Covenant
Dec 5, 2010
Diane Evans
Hitler sought out these powerful relics during World War II. He
believed that these ancient artifacts could bestow immortality.
The story of Adolph Hitler's journey into history to reveal the
special destiny of Germany and the nobility of the German soul began
with his quest to find the Holy Grail and Atlantis. He also hoped to
recover the Ark of the Covenant, but the quest ended in the final
defeat for Nazi Germany.
The Master Aryan Race
The Fuhrer developed an Aryan Master Race ideology from myth, legend
and archaeology. Historical and ethnic fantasies burned in Hitler's
imagination in a hot fire stoked by Aryan fables of Atlantis and the
literature and legends of the Holy Grail.
Steven Spielberg's movie "Raiders of the Lost Ark" with Harrison Ford
playing the part of an intrepid archaeologist, Indiana Jones, had more
truth in it than most people realized.

A New German Aristocracy
Using history as a political tool, Hitler attempted to create an order
based on the Holy Grail. He believed that the eternal life offered by
the Grail was only for the pure blooded and the noble of the Aryan
race. His Brotherhood of the Knights of the Holy Grail would reign
supreme in Germany forever. Hitler compared this aristocracy to that
of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table. However this would
be a German Camelot with Hitler replacing Arthur.
In order to build this revolution, he needed to promote German
Nationalism, to convince the Germans that they were, indeed, destined
for greatness. After the German disgrace due to the World War I
defeat, the nation needed to be re-established and re-invigorated, to
gain self confidence once again and throw off the chains of its shame.
The time was right in the late 1930s when the Nazis seized power, to
look back at history and archaeology seeking clues to the greatness of
Germany's descent from the Aryan race. Beginning with the defeat of
the Roman Army and the disappearance of its Lost Legions, historians
and archaeologists searched the Nordic mythology and legends for
inspiration and material to feed the fantasy history and propaganda of
a revitalized German nation.
Heinrich Himmler
As the Chief of the SS (Schutfzstaffel), Hitler's personal body
guards, and the head of the Gestapo, Himmler took charge of historical
research, Himmler set up the elite Nazi Research Institute called the
Ahnenerbe and set up Wewelsburg Castle to be the new Grail Castle as
well as the center of the new Camelot and its research efforts.

Atlantis
One of the initial moves was to establish the ancestry of the German
people and to lay the foundation that their Aryan ancestors were a
chosen people with divine origins. The pseudo-historians claimed that
the original homeland of the Aryan race was the mysterious island of
Atlantis. Here the mythical ancestors were the source of all art,
science and knowledge. They were a strong, warrior race, descended
from the gods themselves, who survived the Ice Age and continued to
reside in Germany to the present day. He promoted the idea of keeping
the divine Aryan race bloodlines pure as a justification for the
genocide of inferior groups of people such as the Jews.
The Holy Grail
As the legendary symbol of Aryan knighthood, the grail was the ancient
prize most coveted by Hitler. He believed that it would confer
immortality on all those of pure blood and nobility of the Aryan
bloodline--the Brotherhood of the Knights of the Holy Grail.
According to Himmler's research, the Christians had stolen many of
their traditions and symbology from the ancient Nordic Teutonic pagan
religion, and this essential artifact must be restored to its proper
place in Germany.
Himmler asssigned Otto Rahn, an expert on the Holy Grail to search for
the object. He traveled through Europe and the Middle East on his
quest, investigating sites in Iran and Cathar castles in the Pyranees,
but by the war's end, he never had any success.
The Ark of the Covenant
The artifact was built about 3000 years ago by the Israelites to store
the stone tablets on which the Ten Commandments were written. It was
fitted with handles for transportation, gilded with gold and two large
golden cherubim guarded it on its top surface. The Israelites took it
on all their expeditions and even into battle as a token of their
religion until sometime between 597 and 586 BCE, when it vanished from
history when the Babylonians conquered them. Its fate is unknown.
Today it is said to reside in a chapel in Axum, Ethiopia.
The Ark was reputed to have strange powers. Possibly of UFO or alien
origin, it might have been a battery or a radio. Supposedly, as shown
in "Raiders of the Lost Ark," it could instantly vaporize those who
looked at it or touched it. Some stories reported that the Israelite
god communicated and spoke with the priests through it.
Hitler and his minions apparently thought that if they could harvest
its powers, they would instantly have the master tool for world
domination. However, there is no known record that the Nazis made a
concerted effort to locate and recover the artifact, no matter how
badly Hitler wanted to seize it.
