Dear Harry,
I thank you [and Peter Wyzlic] for providing the background to
"Ahnenerbe." I will defer to those who would like to see this
discussion end, but first I will answer your question:
I have read only portions of the book. I have interest, of course, in
the territory that it covers, but not quite so much interest in or
knowledge of the era. I prefer to till Vedic soil.
What I have read [passages dealing with Buddhism, Gandhara,
Zoroastrianism, etc.] revealed no evidence of the ideology that this
discussion has been about. I should add that this volume also has a
veru useful collection of 142 photographs that illustrate the art,
architecture, coinage, of the period, as well as the landscape.
Best wishes,
George Thompson
