Pre-Columbian contact theories
De Mahieu wrote on pre-Columbian America and esoteric Nazism. He traveled to Paraguay for anthropological studies, and claimed the Guayaki tribes were descendants of the Vikings. He allegedly travelled to Brazil in 1974, where he visited the Sete Cidades park in Piauí and considered it a Viking establishment.Sete Cidades , Universidad Federal de Piauí His books on the Knights Templar allege they settled in Mexico before Columbus.
His books were translated from French to German by Wilfred von Oven, formerly deputy to the Nazi propagandist Joseph Goebbels.

The project ended during the Revolución Libertadora regime, which toppled Juan Perón's government in 1955.For a description of his influence in those revolutionary groups who took to guns in the last 60's and early 70's in Argentina, see Roberto Bardini, Tacuara, la Pólvora y la Sangre ("Tacuara, Gunpowder and Blood"), dedicated mainly to the far-right Tacuara Nationalist Movement.
