The Ahnenerbe was a research organization founded in 1935 in Nazi Germany. Its primary goal was to study the cultural and historical heritage of the Aryan race, promoting the idea of racial superiority. The organization conducted various scientific and archaeological investigations, often distorting findings to support Nazi ideology. Led by Heinrich Himmler, the Ahnenerbe engaged in controversial projects, including expeditions to Tibet and studies of ancient Germanic history. The group also explored pseudoscientific theories, attempting to link the Aryan race to ancient civilizations. Its activities were closely tied to the broader goals of the Nazi regime during World War II.
