In this short monograph, Arthur Branwen shows the influence of Herman Wirth on the thought of Julius Evola and clarifies how Evola adapted Wirth’s ideas on the origins of Western civilisation. Herman Wirth (1885‐1981) was born in Holland, becoming a German citizen in 1910. He headed up the Ahnenerbe from its founding in 1935 until 1937.

Evola himself concludes his chapter on Wirth from MS with these words:

… the period preceding liberalism and scientism was characterized by three fundamental
ideas:

1. The equality of the human race

2. Nordic barbarianism and the origin of every civilisation from the East

3. The Hebraic origin of monotheism

Wirth struck down or overthrew those ideas with these three:

1. Humanity is differentiated into distinct races

2. Civilisation did not come from the East, but from the North

3. It was the Nordics who would have known a higher monotheistic religion well before
the Hebrews
