To expand on the gains made by the Nazi Party in the control of Germany during the early-1930's, the head of the S.S., Heirich Himmler, created "Ancestral Heritage" in 1935, an organization dedicated to discovering the Aryans hidden past, as well as a site which attracted as many scientific cranks that the Nazis could provide.

| | Called "The Sleeping Prophet", Edgar Cayce's psychic predictions would come from a couch where he would put himself in a trance, and a writer would jot down what was said.
