Did anyone else catch that program on the Nazi expedition to Tibet that was on last night on Natl Geographic or Discovery? Very interesting stuff.
[quote]In the 1930s, Adolf Hitler’s Germany presented a glittering surface sheen of technological modernity. At the annual Nuremberg rallies, fleets of sleek bombers roared over the upturned faces of the Nazi Party faithful. A system of autobahns carried traffic at speed the length and breadth of the Reich. In Berlin in 1936, a magnificent stadium housed the Olympic Games.
But beneath the tread of marching feet and the rumble of tanks on Nuremberg’s Zeppelin Field, there pulsed the rhythms of a different and much older set of beliefs, a philosophy that animated the Nazi Party’s early ideologues and, crucially, the man who stood behind Hitler himself
Watch what you are chanting around here…I for one think that we should let sleeping Cthulhus lay.
CS, do you by chance have that “Innsmouth look” to you?
Here, google Lovecraft and then look for this word: Leng[/quote]
My sons just bought me 4 Lovecraft books this afternoon. I’m booking my flight to the Plateau of Leng on Dagon Airways. They have great inflight meals.

You know your Lovecraft. Outstanding! It is quite obvious that you are a man of exquisite literary taste.
Very few people around here read anything of real worth. :s
The “Indiana Jones” series is loosely based on the Nazi thing mentioned here.
Strangely enough, in a town close to where I grew up, there is a small park with a weird piece of sculpture dedicated to the guy who did a few books on the “Hollow Earth” theory.
As a kid I was fascinated by the weirdness of it. A forgotten unknown monument to a relatively unknown theory in an obscure park in a less than notable small Ohio town.
Its still there. Its been cleaned up and I think now even may have a small fence around the monument. Still weird though.
Myself and my Portuguese half-brother, PintoMild, went trekking there 12 years ago. They may not be superhuman yet but as our genes adapt to the altitude, they will be.
Ladakh: a great place to get Leh’d (My entry for the Ladakh Tourism Development Commission slogan competition 1993).

Right, Himmler was busy creating some kind of magic-religious background for the Third Reich. There is a castle in Germany which they changed into a SS gathering and research centre somewhere. They arranged meetings in a cave below the castle with “druid clothes”, created a “black sun”, a strange swastika on the floor somewhere and used the place also for SS education. And medical experments on war prisoners and others had been exercised there.
Couldn’t they just play D&D in a middle age castle, like everyone else? Weirdos.
