Biography
There is only fragmentary information about the personality of Tsech (even the date and place of his death are unknown). There is information that he was a physicist by training. Nevertheless, there is no doubt that he was engaged in paranosciences , including ariosophy , which over time allowed him to develop his own theory in the Ariosophical discourse [1] .
Atlantis - Homeland of the Aryans
Tsech first made his name in 1920, when his work, The Origin and History of the Aryan Tribe, was published, which overnight became a bestseller . According to his theory, Atlantis was populated by blue-eyed veggie blond, who were representatives of the highest, Aryan race. Atlantis and its inhabitants died in a planetary disaster caused by the collision of the Earth with a comet. Only God Wotan , his daughter and pregnant sister survived. Their descendants mingled with non-Aryan peoples and subsequently degraded [2] , while the “Germanic" race was represented as the heirs of the population of Atlantis and the dominant race among the Indo-Europeans.
As researcher A. V. Kondratiev points out, according to Tsech, the blessed country of great-grandfathers and great-grandfathers “bore the name“ Attalantis “. There God Almighty was revered, and this country already in its very name contained a story about Him. ” In addition, “those who moved from there bore the name“ Aya ”= arya = Arias, in contrast to other human types and human animals. Noble Aiyas called their country “Ayialand” (Aialand). Geographic names remind of the ayahs spreading to the South up to Siberia: Asia (Asenland, the country of Asov), Syr Darya, Himalayas (Himalaya, Sky of Aryans = Himmel der Arier) ” [3] . Thus, Tsech, along with some other adherents of such theories, became in fact an exponent of the mythological - eugenic idea of the imaginary superiority of the Germans over other peoples.
Frank Joseph, compiler of the Encyclopedia of Atlantis, calls Tsetch one of the outstanding “atlantologists” of the interwar period and compares it to Leo Frobenius [4] .
Legacy
During the Third Reich , Tsech’s books were popular, repeatedly published, and, according to James Webb, became the basis for the ideological speculation of the Nazi leadership [5] .
