    The Forbidden City

    At the heart of Beijing sits the Forbidden City, one of the greatest architectural achievements in human history. It's the largest palace complex on Earth. Constructed in the early 15th century as the hidden heart of imperial power, it was a city within a city — sealed off from the world, governed by rigid ritual, political intrigue, and absolute authority. How did a daring coup bring this colossal complex into existence? What was daily life really like behind its towering walls? And, how did it endure revolution, the rise and fall of dynasties, and catastrophe to become a symbol of China itself? Dan travels to the heart of Beijing to reveal its extraordinary story.  You can learn more in Dan's History Hit TV documentary 'Beijing Central Axis: China's Medieval Wonder'.

    Dark Conspiracies and Unsettling Truths - a DH Compilation

    Hi friends, happy Wednesday! Over the years, many of you have commented that you like to put Dark History on and just let it play in the background. Well... I heard ya. So instead of you having to shuffle through a mish mash of episodes... I did the hard work for you and created a special themed playlist, if you will. Welcome to... Dark Conspiracies! A compilation episode made up of my handpicked, mystifying favorites from over the years. I'm talking everything from the truth behind your grandma's favorite Betty Crocker cookbook to... what in the actual hell is going on up in Alaska? And here's the part that always gets me... there's always at least some truth with every conspiracy theory. So lock your door, light some candles and tighten that tinfoil hat. Because we're digging into some Dark Conspiracies and their unsettling truths. xoBailey ________ FOLLOW ME AROUNDTik Tok: https://bit.ly/3e3jL9vInstagram: http://bit.ly/2nbO4PRFacebook: http://bit.ly/2mdZtK6Twitter: http://bit.ly/2yT4BLVPinterest: http://bit.ly/2mVpXnYYoutube: http://bit.ly/1HGw3OgSnapchat: https://bit.ly/3cC0V9dGoodreads: http://bit.ly/3IVnO7NDiscord: https://discord.gg/BaileySarian RECOMMEND A STORY HERE: cases4bailey@gmail.comBusiness Related Emails: bailey@underscoretalent.comBusiness Related Mail: Bailey Sarian 4400 W.
