Does anyone have access to / know what happened to ahnenerbe primary sources regarding their archaeology? There is literally nothing because it was all apparently destroyed. Anything would do, field manuals, letters I don't care at this point. It's such a shame, they were some of the first people to sink a ton of money into Indo European archaeology and now we don't even have a collection of their field methods
They didn't find anything of note lol
Just mudhuts and stone tools
If you were expecting a hyperborean/aryan treasure trove of ancient bronze relics and religious icons, you're out of luck
Not really expecting that at all, moreso interested in field notes and methods. Besides, pre metal age invaders Europe is my speciality anyways, so I'm more than interested in any lithics recovered.
Also, how do you know? Do you have access to primary sources? Or are you just assuming
You are that special kind of idiot, aren't you?
An academic with a focus on European lithic technology? Yes. I'm also interested in the early steppe riding hypothesis, so if they have any leathers or bits that got dug up let me know since they're extremely rare. Oh wait, you actually know nothing about fricking anything, and you harbour some weird animosity towards the topic because muh Nazis and you're a leftypol colonist. Whether you like it or not, they were the ones to dump the most amount of money into the early field of Indo European archaeology, and even determined the presence of Indo European migrations around the Tarim basin. To dismiss their findings because you're so fricking politibrained and unable to see anything without a leftypol homosexual lense is absolutely ridiculous. This is soley about the acquisition of information, which should be a universal endeavor regardless of political affiliation. I see through your moronic bias, unironically have a nice day
Wish had something to give you anon for the rant alone. Too many turn away knowledge simply because their chosen political rival touched it once. Though I'd be interested to hear if find anything simply because I too am curious. good luck on your search.
Bro you don't understand bro they had STONE TOOLS their history doesn't matter at all bro we should just laugh at people who care about it bro
You think that the american government would make it easy?
Hint, going to the antartic by plane if you are not part of the elite gets your plane shot down and wypipo invented most technology and are the kindest/prettiest race, almost god like?
Its that easy dude, rub your two remaining brain cells together like sticks and there will be fire
What sort of weaponry did Yamna, corded ware, Sintasha, bell beaker, etc use? Short vs long swords, axes, spears, shield, bows?
Spears and javelins absolutely. The popularity of the Chariot arose from the Indo Europeans as well. Swords not so much from my understanding, but axes yes as it served dual function as a weapon, as well as tool which made it widely available. There was also a heavy ritual significance throughout Indo European culture with axes/hammers/clubs and a "striking god" so there's that.
Jews won't let us see them.
The papers which are publicly released translations are comparatively irrelevant stuff like dowsing as a method to find water, oil, and minerals and problems with Norwegians to construct a false narrative that anyone preferred the rule of israelites over the rule of Germans.
It tells us there must be much truth and power in what the Ahnenerbe knew that our rulers keep it hidden.
It’s crazy to think how right the nazis were about indo Europeans. I mean obviously they made up some moronic shit too but corded ware which spawned almost all IE languages was east Germany/Prussia
Allegedlv, remains of giant trees from primeval forests that had been hollowed out and lived in or used as communal buildings , amd aquaducts made from tree limbs
Roman aqueducts were originally wooden and germanic people also made use of wooden aqueducts for irrigation and horticulture .
A wooden aqueduct is not complicated it's basically a long split log with a v shape channeling water . Some of the forests in Germania were grown by people .
Most of the forests in Germania were primeval which means they looked quite different to th forests of modern central ) northern Europe (see the last primeval forest in Europe , located in Poland )
Germanic tribal society was structured around clans in order to regulate the use if the forest .
Germanic people worshipped the earth and only practised subsistence farming in order to make minimal impact on the emvironment . This was supplemented by hunting to feed warriors and resulted in a frequent need to migrate because overpopulation would happen quickly we it's this way of being life .
This was regarded as the natural balancing of masculine and feminine forces . The earth was worshipped as a goddess , once the subsistence farming of a tribe over depleted their estates , the activation of masculine energy was due and necessary ,.and migration with the herds would commence
*With this way of life .
Migration would lead naturally to warfare.
Originally the land ) estate of a clan was divided equally among the members by the magistrates , so as not to provoke envy and division which would disrupt the equity of the clan unit
*Integrity of the clan unit
