S04E05: The Hunt for Hitler's RelicsAdolph Hitler was deeply into the occult and even established a Nazi organization called the Ahnenerbe, with a secret mission to track down and confiscate holy relics–a fact that inspired the blockbuster film, Raiders of the Lost Ark. It was rumored that he sought not only the Ark of the Covenant, but the Holy Grail, the omphalos from the Oracle of Delphi, the entrance to the mythical land of Shambhala, and an object known as “The Spear of Destiny”–the spear that was supposedly used by a Roman soldier to pierce Christ’s side during the crucifixion. Did Hitler actually come to possess some of these ancient relics?
