Ahnenerbe – the Secret Occult Organization of the Nazi Third Reich.
Ahnenerbe was a secret organization, created more than hundred years ago, is the subject of the closest attentions of senior leaders of the United States, the USSR (Russia), France, England, China. What was it? A myth, a legend, and mysteries of ancient alien civilizations, magical secrets of supernatural forces?
The “Ahnenerbe” takes its origin from the mystical organizations “The Germanenorden,” “Tule” and “Vril.” They became the “three whales” of the National Socialist ideology, supporting the doctrine of the existence in the prehistoric times of an Island – Atlantis. A powerful civilization, which was exposed to almost all the secrets of the universe and was lost after a grand catastrophe. Some people miraculously survived. Later, they mingled with the Arias, giving life to the appearance of a race of superhumans – the ancestors of the Germans. Confirmation of their racial theory the Nazis were looking around the world – from Tibet to Africa and Europe. They searched for ancient manuscripts and manuscripts containing information on history, magic, yoga, theology. All that contained at least the slightest let the legendary mention of the Vedas, Aryans, Tibetans. The highest stake in such knowledge was displayed by the ruling elite of Germany – politicians, industrialists, the scientific elite. All of them attempted to master unprecedented, higher knowledge, encrypted and scattered in all religions and mystical beliefs of the world, and not only ours. And not without success.
Ahnenerbe headquarter was located in the little provincial town of Waischenfeld, Bavaria. The initiators of the creation of the Ahnenerbe, besides Hitler, were the Reichsführer SS Heinrich Himmler, the SS Gruppenführer Herman Wirth (“Godfather”) and the scientist Richard Walther Darre. Ahnenerbe was looking for sources of “special knowledge,” those that could conduce to the creation of a superman with super-strong, super-knowledge. During the Second World War, “Ahnenerbe” receives a lot of financial recourses from the government for conducting “medical” experiments. The Institute conducted thousands of cruel experiments: captured soldiers of the anti-Hitler coalition, women, children laid their lives on the altar of the genetic and physiological experiments of the fascists!
The effect of various poisons, the impact of high and low temperatures, pain thresholds – these are the main “scientific” programs. And besides, the possibility of mass psychological and psychotropic influence, work on creating superweapons was explored. To conduct research Ahnenerbe attracted the best staff – scientists with world names. Still, one should not think that everything was piled up. No, the Anenerbe with the German pedantry divided the work into the following areas: the creation of a superman, medicine, the development of new non-standard weapons (including mass destruction, including nuclear weapons), the possibility of putting on religious and mystical practices and the possibility of communication with extraterrestrial highly developed civilizations.
Ahnenerbe organized many expeditions, the most notable of which was an expedition to Tibet. The results of the “research” are as follows: forty centuries ago the Aryan civilization turned the Gobi into a lifeless desert, and the ancient arias in search of a better share wandered around the world. To the west and north, the “Nordic arias” led by the “Fuhrer” Thor, withdrew. By the way, it’s interesting that the German expedition of Ernst Schaeffer was warmly met by Tibetan lamas. And the Nicolai Roerich expedition, formed by the NKVD, failed.
Close attention was paid to the subject field of Antarctica in the framework of the “New Swabia” project.
The theory that Antarctica was part Atlantis, and because on ancient maps, from 1513 created by the Ottoman admiral and cartographer Piri Reis. “Reis’ map shows the Western coast of Africa, the Eastern coast of South America, and the Northern coast of Antarctica, ice-free. Drawn with intricate detail, that the map shows the real coastline under the glass. The latest date Queen Maud Land could have been graphed in an ice-free state is 4000 BC!”
Have scientists “Ahnenerbe” achieved any substantial results? It is possible, particularly if you consider that after the defeat of the Nazi Germany, the United States and the USSR made a huge effort to search for the archives of the “Ahnenerbe.” Discoveries in complete secrecy were taken out. Scientists have mastered secret laboratories of the winning countries, where they went on to work in the same vein. The huge breakthrough of the USSR and the USA in the field of nuclear, electronic, aerospace and machine-building technologies in the post-war period can serve as a confirmation of the achievement of certain successes by the Ahnenerbe scientists.

The Mad Monk
There is still one missing character in this whole story. Full of drama, mystery and speculation, some say he played one of the largest roles in the unfortunate and disgraceful events that took place in Russia during the first decades of the last century. His name was Grigori Rasputin, once your run of the mill Christian monk from the Russian Orthodox Church. But the simplicity stops there. Even 100 years after he died, there are details about his life and death that remain unanswered. And to this day, his mysterious power makes him an icon of darkness and fear.
He was born in 1869 in Pokróvskoye, a small village in Siberia, and since childhood was believed to have supernatural powers like foresight and mental healing. He got married at 18 and had three children, but he left home suddenly when he was 23. He spent 3 months in a monastery, where he allegedly had a vision of the Virgin Mary, leading him to a life as a Mystic. He then joined a mysterious sect that supposedly held bacchic orgies for sacred purposes, but soon left to become a pilgrim, and then an orthodox religious man again. Though this fickle religious journey his fame spread to the ears of the royal family.
Rasputin in 1910
After traveling for two years he finally arrived at St. Petersburg, where his reputation as a holy man with psychic powers grew even larger. Alexandra, the Tsar’s wife, called him to help heal the only heir of the dynasty, Alexy, who had hemophilia since birth. Miraculously, every time Rasputin went to see him, he showed signs of getting better. Many sceptics and critics explain this by claiming he would hypnotize the boy. Everyone in the high society was fascinated by him, but many accused him of evil and immoral practices, due to his past and his aura of secrecy. There was even a circle of noble ladies around him, that appear to have practiced a dogma aiming to achieve divine grace through sins and lust. He was often referred to as the Mad Monk.
Surrounded by his circle of adepts
The royal family took him in as a friend and a holy man. And with time, he eventually held a lot of political power. When the Tsar Nicholas gave the order to send troops to the WWI front without his consult, he predicted it would fail. The economy began decreasing and some attributed it to the influence of Rasputin over Alexandra. The most accepted story of his death, is that on December 16th 1916, a group of noblemen and politicians invited him to a dinner where they poisoned him with an amount of cyanide enough to kill 5 men. But it didn’t work. He was then shot 4 times and remained alive, so they beat him and wrapped him in a carpet. Then threw him in the Nevka river, where he was found frozen the next day. Prophet, faith healer, psychic, and mystic; Rasputin held enormous influence in the early days of the revolution and was partly responsible for dragging the empire to ruin.

The Hidden Kingdom. Altai mountains
On Kazakhstan´s eastern border with Russia, there is a very special mountain range. It is called “Altai”, which in Mongolian means Golden Mountain, a name that begs mystery in itself. Historically, the range has been said to be the home of the first Native Americans before they crossed the strait. Nowadays, scientists seek geological information in the deepest cores of the mountain’s glacier, claiming that it holds up to 5,000 years of ecological history. And maybe, most importantly, the Altai mountains, specifically the highest peak, the Belukha Mountain, is an attraction to spiritual seekers from all over the world.
Lake Akkem and Mt. Belukha
On the Russian side, the territory called the Altai Republic, (besides Kazakhstan) borders with China, Mongolia and Tuva. As you can imagine, it is a very special and diverse place, a place where many of the most complex belief systems of the world coexist. The population of this territory is divided between Russian Orthodox and other Christians (such as Old Believers and Protestants), Muslims, and Hinduists. But nearly 40% of its people have shamanic-related costumes, like the Tengrist. As you can recall from our earlier post, shamanism plays a crucial role within Russian´s people history.
Shamanic drawings on Tengric drum
According to an ancient tradition of the Altai people, somewhere in the Belukha Mountain, there may be a hidden gateway that will take you to a great mystical land: the Kingdom of Shambhala. The notion was imported from the Tibet region, from the texts of the Zhangzhung and Bon (Buddhist tradition) and the Vishnu Purana (Hindu tradition). They describe the kingdom as what we could consider an eastern version of the Christian heaven. The Kalachakra tantra is an ancient teaching of the Buddha to one of the kings of Shambhala, that has re-surfaced in recent history and formed a new following called “Shambhala Buddhism.” The range holds the root of many spiritual stories and a setting in Marianna Baker’s novel “Red Snow, Gold Clouds.” What secrets could this Hidden Kingdom show to our readers when they pass across the mysterious Belukha Mountain.

“Red Snow, Gold Clouds” triller by Marianna Baker and Anna Baker authors
The Revolution of 1917
In the middle of WWI, poverty, hunger and violence forced the people of Russia to desperately seek a solution. Something, anything new. A ghost that had been wandering around Europe for the past few decades was reviving itself. Beginning with the protests in Petrograd (St. Petersburg). Consequently, the military joined the people’s indignation and rising, took over the government of the Tsar and installed a provisionary institution instead that was familiar to the Empire before the Tzar: the Duma. All this, happened in February 1917. But the war wasn’t over and food hadn’t come, so people carried on with their demands. Finally the Tsar abdicated, we already know that story. But what happened between the end of the Romanov’s and the great communist State?
Massive protest in Petrograd
Vladimir Lenin came back from Switzerland to take advantage of the confusion and chaos (He had been exiled after the failure of the revolution 12 years before, which ended up in the holocaust of the Bloody Sunday). In April, he declared that all the power should be taken away from the new government and given to the Soviets (the worker’s unions). In order to get there, he had to remove all opposition to the Bolshevik party. Far from answering his demands, the official military lead by Alexander Kerensky, opened another war front deepening the crisis. People started to follow Lenin’s revolutionary rhetoric again, but again their protests were repressed. And, just like before, Lenin managed to run away.
Lenin giving a speech
Two months before the democratic elections, protests started once more. And Lenin saw a new opportunity to siege power with the Bolsheviks, so he came back from Finland, where he was exiled. They occupied strategic positions in official buildings and palaces in the middle of an October night. And just like that, they arrested all the ministers and leaders of the provisional government gaining real control over all the people of Russia. They made immediate reforms, took the country out of the war and installed a socialist State which removed all of the opposition parties. Not everyone was very happy with this, instigating a Civil War between the supporters of the former regime and the communists. The book Red Snow, Gold Clouds, which is still at work by Marianna Baker, tells the story of young Lydia Markova; her escape during the Civil War as she journeyed from Moscow to Harbin, China, in 1919.

Documentary:
The Death of the Dynasty
The Romanovs’ end was the product of the Red Army’s conspiracy after they won the civil war. But the war didn’t come out of nowhere. Workers, peasants and people in general wouldn’t stand the Empire’s decision to spend billions of rubles on two wars (Japan and Europe), while their own population was starving. We already know about the process and the outcome of the civil war so let’s talk about how the new government erased any possibility of the royal and noble peoples regaining power in Russia.
When he realised that he could no longer rule sufficiently and that he, himself, was partly responsible for the crisis and rise of revolution, Nicholas II abdicated in favor of Mikhail, his younger brother. Unfortunately for the Empire, Mikhail also didn’t trust himself, resigning the next day because he decided that the State had to be reformed with the people’s consent before it could be ruled. And that’s how 300 years of Romanov power came to an end. But the royal family knew that the revolutionary army would never accept this as the only thing won, and that there would be other attempts to reclaim the throne. So they tried to escape into exile but did not succeed. They got on a train to go to Tobolsk in August 1917, as advised by the provisional government of Alexander Kerensky, in an attempt to save themselves. Two months later the Bolsheviks had full control of the government.
Mikhail Romanov, officially last Tzar
The family, with 45 of their servants, were practically living imprisoned, eating what they could and wearing regular clothes. And were moved again, in May 1918 to Yekaterinburg, filled with fear of prosecution by trial every single day, waiting for the Czech Legion to come and rescue them. But it was a false hope. One night, commandant Yakov Yurovsky appeared with a group from the military, gathered the whole family in a small room “for their own safety”, took a picture of them, and told them they were sentenced to death by the Ural Soviet. Nicholas Romanov, his wife, Alexandra, their four daughters, Olga, Tatiana, Maria, Anastasia and his only son, 14-year-old sick Alexei, and four servants were shot dead.

In the year 2000, the members of the family were canonized by the Russian Orthodox Church. But this was not the only tribute. Investigations surrounding the various rumours and suspicions of their deaths’ arose and were eventually taken up by scientists and explorers after the fall of the Soviet Union, 25 five years ago. Mysteries abound in the case of the slain royal family, for instance, Trotsky’s letters and Yurovsky’s reports were found along with the remains of the family’s bodies, among many other treasures. These mysteries have brought all forms of speculation including artistic creation, like the secret story of Anastasia, the youngest daughter of Nicholas, who was believed to have survived to the shooting, and whose story was recreated in a Disney motion picture. Her remains, though, were found in 2007. To this day, there are still people claiming to be descendants of the survivors of the Romanovs relatives, and state that they have rights to the throne.

The Lost Dynasty
Three hundred years of family business. Nineteen Emperors and Empresses ruling with elegance, charisma, intrigue and might. Starting with Mikhail, ending with Mikhail. Building palaces and conquering vast lands. Succeeding one after another to govern hunger and cold with hidden gold and huge power, given by the glory of God and the Church. The legacy of the Romanov Dynasty started in mysterious ways and was ended by dark means in the midst of new worlds.
It started in 1613 when Mikhail I, a 16-year-old boy, was elected as Emperor of Russia by an assembly of boyars, a traditional noble class of the time. Mikhail was the son of Feodor Nikitich Romanov (later crowned as Patriarch Filaret), and the grandson of Roman Zakharin-Yuriev, from whom the name came to existence. Mikhail was elected after the death of Ivan IV, the Terrible, who had killed his own son when his wife, Anastasia, was assassinated by the boyars. And Ivan’s youngest son, Feodor, died childless. Thus his brother-in-law, Boris Godunov, was elected as Tsar in 1599 and did everything he could to keep the Romanovs away. This didn’t last long, because a wave of False Dmitriys, one after another, claiming to be Feodor’s children, took him down and restored the Dynasty.
Peter the Great
After Mikhail, came his son Alexis I, in 1645, and his grandson Feodor III, in 1676. Feodor died without children, bringing rise to a new conflict between the descent of Alexis and Peter, and his stepbrother and sister Ivan and Sofia. We’re talking about Peter the Great, who started the importation of European influence and colonizing lands in Siberia. He founded the great city of St. Petersburg. (That’s where the name comes from.) He was the first one to call himself Tsar of all Russia. At his death in 1725, the boyars elected his wife, Catherine I, to succeed him, and after her came a few children, nephews and grandchildren who ruled in the new era of Russia continuing the tradition of fashion, magnificent palaces and powerful conquests. Until Catherine II, widow of one of the grandsons of Peter and Catherine I, conspicuously appeared in the throne in 1762. It is said that the nobles and the church forced him to abdicate in her favor.
Catherine the Great
A series of new conspiracies were formed in order to obtain the throne involving lots of murder. Alexander I, grandson of Catherine, and his brother Nicholas I, finally regained the power for the dynasty in 1825. And then a new Alexander and a new Nicholas came along. As the last one came to power, a whole new world was arising around the globe and Russia was not prepared. Just as Nicholas II was not prepared to be a Tsar. And was not prepared to fight two external wars and one internal civil war, of which we’ve learned already. In the end, all the members of the family were killed by the revolutionary army of the Bolsheviks. Mikhail, Nicholas’ brother, ruled for a few hours before he was banished and also executed, the finale of the Dynasty of the Romanovs, that had finally came to an end.

Shamans of the Steppe
Despite the naive rejection of traditional knowledge in the 20th century modernizing project and globalized mainstream cultures dismissive attitude, some ideas are coming back. In some parts of the world the heritage of ancient power never died, and in others, new people are learning them. It seems that we’re finally realizing the value of different approaches to health and well-being by understanding the multiple dimensions of nature around us. Or at least accepting them as possible. Something that can work if you acknowledge it.
Mongolian shaman performing ritual
Shamans are the keepers of this knowledge. They live in all kinds of environments, as part of all kinds of cultural realities that are kept alive through tradition, faith, discipline and understanding. The case of the steppe shamans in Siberia and Mongolia is probably one of the strongest traditions worldwide. Their territories, the power of the land where they live, the strength of their belief and the harmony of their knowledge with other kinds of knowledge, make them accessible and attractive to a growing number of people. Not only people seeking for answers about their lives or looking for peace, but even academics. People are fascinated and inspired by shamanism’s relationship and contact with the spirit world.
Shamanism initiation center in Mongolia
What is shamanism? Though it varies with each region of the world, it can be explained as the power of the body to contact spirits through physical feelings and vibration, a practice that, in part, comes from the steppes of Asia. Even the word “Shaman” is believed to come from the Evenki language, from the Tungusic region of Central Asia, between Mongolia, China and Russia. The peoples of the steppe teach that benevolent and malevolent spirits live in a supernatural world that can be reached by altering the state of consciousness through specific substances, precise rituals and a chosen soul. A few of those chosen souls live within Marianna Baker’s novel, Red Snow, Gold Clouds, illuminating the cultural history of Siberia and aiding our protagonists with their journey.

The Sacred Lake
The Pearl of Asia, the Blue Eye of Siberia, bigger than some countries and deeper than anything in the world, Lake Baikal is one of the most important freshwater bodies of our planet. Fed by around 330 rivers and containing around 25 islands, it is home to an unthinkable amount of life in all sizes and forms, four cities with around a million inhabitants altogether and numerous traditional towns from different cultures and times settled on its shores. But more importantly, beyond data, it is home to an unbelievable mystery and power that arises from its depths with mighty songs from ancient times.
It was among the Siberian territories conquered by the Russian Empire in the mid-seventeenth century, taking with it peoples like the Yakuts and the Buryats, who actually named the lake: Bay göl “Rich lake.” Rich indeed, it contains the remains of a derailed train linked to the lost gold of the last Czar, Nicholas II. We already know this has raised all kinds of speculation and exploration, dragging even more interest to the grand waters.
Baikal map from 1700
Keeping on with the list, Baikal is the biggest, with 12,000 square miles, the deepest, with almost 2 miles at its maximum depth, and it is also the oldest lake in the world. It was formed at least 25 million years ago. It was declared a World Heritage Site by Unesco 20 years ago. Along with its physical attributes, it is very rich in energy, accordingly to the Buryat shamans that pay tribute to its waters and build their religious life around them. Buddhist lamas constructed monasteries around Baikal in the 18th century, and since then people from all over the world come to pray to its spirits for well-being or prosperity, good weather, or just to learn from the peace that the lake brings. Despite scientist skepticism towards what they call “supernatural beliefs,” even they admit they feel something very special when they come to study earthquakes or something else, to the point that some of them have started experiments about this “supernatural” phenomena.
Shaman’s Rock
And not only do the Buddhists take strength from Baikal, but many other traditional peoples (also forbidden and ignored during the soviet era) have learned about its power. Like the Old Believers that remain loyal to their faith and pray to God and to the lake for better farming or fishing, with visible results. Old Believers like Zoya’s mother, whose diary keeps the secret to finding the lost gold. Could it be hidden in the depths of Baikal? And if it is, will the lake allow Andrew and Katya to access it?

The Old Believers
Old Believers Family
When reading ‘Red Snow, Gold Clouds‘ thriller, you will find that some characters seek refuge in places full of hidden mysteries and ancient traditions. One of the most important being a lost temple of Old Believers—a religious sect who, despite the odds, still live in places that are completely isolated from any external contact or technological innovation. There are some families who never heard about the war except for a few distant explosions and sporadic aircraft flights.
This is the case of Agafia Lykova, an Old Believer who survived isolation for more than 70 years after her father took her, along with her mother and siblings, to the cold Siberian Taiga fleeing from war and persecution. After her mother starved to death to feed the family and after her brothers and father were killed by viruses that an unexpected scouting party brought, Agafia was completely alone. And she survived. The tools she had and the strong work habits she learned from her father were enough to feed herself along with the company of just a few pets. Besides that: she had her faith.
Agafia Lykova
So who are the Old Believers? Their history dates back to the mid-seventeenth century. In the year 1666, the Moscow Patriarch Nikon introduced a series of reforms to the dogma of the Orthodox Church in order to reduce the differences with the Greek tradition, seeking to unify faith with the old times. We now know that Nikon’s ideas were not that correct and actually contrary to what he wanted because it increased the differences and created new gaps within his own people. Old Believers are those who kept the original faith from before the reforms took place.
Patriarch Nikon of Moscow
The differences between one tradition and the other would seem trivial today, but for people like Agafia, they mean everything. Using two fingers instead of three for the sign of the cross, or seven proshpora instead of five for the liturgy, constitute the essence of one ritual or another and in everyday religious details make a difference. God’s help is achieved with honesty and integrity. The Old Believers had been persecuted and killed for centuries for not adhering to official dogma and for not having the power to do something about it.

The Treasure Train
The missing gold is a permanent mystery. That is what it has been during the last century, ever since its disappearance in August 1919. It could be in a monastery, hidden in caves, buried in a forest on the outskirts of a town, in the cellars of a bank or buried in containers in the bottom of a lake. Or all at once. In the fictional reconstruction of Red Snow, Gold Clouds, Marianna Baker explores the diverse theories on the gold`s fate. It should be noted that one of the antagonistic characters in the story, Zharkov, works for the Bank of Kazan, in which part of the official story occurs. Though also, the protagonist`s grandmother sought refuge with the gold in an Old Believer monestary in the Taiga, Siberia. And Zharkov`s wife died in Lake Baikal. Which clue will lead us to the gold?
Bank of Kazan
After the Admiral Kolchak was commissioned by the White Army to hide the gold, he engaged the services of the Czechoslovak Legion to help him in this mission. The particular objective of the legion was to protect the Trans Siberian Train from possible Bolshevik attacks on its journey between Kazan and Irkutsk. However, the Legionnaires` lack of interest of in a foreign war led to an attempt to get some of the treasure for themselves. Thus, in one of the stops at the Kutin station, the Czechs signed an agreement with the Bolshevik army to deliver Kolchak in exchange for a share of the gold (representing in fact, more than half), resulting in his execution.
Czech Legion on the train
Plus, on a previous stop in Omsk, one of the wagons had already been robbed by unknown hands, who broke the seals of the train, emptied the containers and killed some of the officers. Through the discovery of an unsent telegram, it was learned that Lenin gave the order to stop the Czech’s treachery and keep all the gold inside the Russian borders. In the end, the Czechs got away with it, returning to Czechoslovakia where they founded a nationally recognized bank. There are numerous records of these dark deals and their results, which still have impact today. But with time, there have been other findings that suggest the treasure has multiple destinations.
For example, a number of medals belonging to the KGB were found in a private building in the city of Tyumen, with irrefutable records that they belong to the treasure. In addition, they have found the remains of tools connected to the train and its protectors in both caves and under Siberian monasteries. And in 2009 a large batch of containers and train parts were found at the bottom of Lake Baikal. Clearly, the gold found its way into many hands leaving a large collection of treasue maps to be discovered.
