Part 9/10:
Meanwhile, Edmund Kiss ventured to the ancient ruins of Tiwanaku in Bolivia, motivated by his belief in the controversial World Ice Theory. Kiss sought evidence to argue that the remains of this ancient civilization were crafted by Nordic immigrants, further exposing the absurd lengths to which individuals went to validate the Nazis' racial narratives. Through distorted interpretations, Kiss’s ideas contributed to a framework of prejudice that characterized the regime.
Kiss’s findings faded into obscurity with the collapse of the Third Reich, yet they serve as a reminder of how pseudo-scientific beliefs were wielded to justify heinous ideologies.
