Heritage Key
Owen Jarus
Thomas Schneider is exploring a subject that has never been studied before. The University of British Columbia professor is examining the history of German Egyptology during the Nazi era. The period that lasted from when Hitler became chancellor of Germany in 1933 - until he committed suicide in his bunker in 1945.
The research is a work in progress and Professor Schneider continues to receive new archival documents and information. He plans to turn his work into a book length manuscript.
While popular fiction, such as the Indiana Jones trilogy, depicts action packed films about this topic, the real story is far more complex.

Hi Andy thnx for a good blog! I really miss you all those times you have to travel and the blog i silent - just wanted you to know!
Any how, this about Nazi.. wasn´t Hitler really extremely superstitious when i came to matters of egypt? I read someware that he built a meditation-room under the Berlin Olympic Stadium -an exact replica of Chaphra´s burial chamber.
Any one heard anything of such? Is it still there under the stadium?
He was indeed interested in Archaeology, probably one of his few interests outside warmongering!
I've seen various references to a chamber of Khufu beneath the Nuremburg stadium but nothing that suggests that it is anything more than an urban myth. Has anyone seen photos or other evidence to suggest that it might have been constructed?
