I learned about this playing Medal of Honor 2 Underground back in the day. Part of the plot was stopping the Nazis from putting their adulterations on ancient ruins. They were trying to make it seem like their ideology was older than what it really was.
Uhh they were pretty heavy in their propaganda about it being a new movement of the young, not that that’s what it actually was, but we’re talking about “trying to seem” here. It’s just standard fascist fetishization of the past

Yeah, it's less "our ideology is literally ancient" and more claiming "our ideology is the spiritual successor to the 'great' societies of the past"
