In Search of Aryan Origins:
[The Five Members of the German Schäfer Expedition, 1938: left to right: Geer, Wienert, Krause, Beger, Schäfer]
The Aryan’s greatness is clearly visible in his castles but also modestly hidden in his farming techniques, his folktales and his embroidery. We would have to learn to see what had been hidden from us to grasp the entirely of the Aryan soul and as such when the Reich sent anthropologists to Tibet searching for its origins, this perhaps was no surprise:
“... In contrast to many other photographers, the young Germans were also interested in the unspectacular – handicrafts, agriculture, and trade, among others subjects. Like other Europeans before them, they too were fascinated by nomadic peoples, most especially the Goloks of Eastern Tibet, who were visiting Lhasa on a pilgrimage during Losar, the Tibetan New Year.” (
