    Modern Day Bakers Make Cakes From 1900

    Step back in time as four modern-day baking professionals tackle 63 years that utterly transformed their trade and our diet: the Victorian Age. Watch the team manage a busy 1900 high-street shop, grapple with complex new recipes (and shocking ingredients like beef tongue and lard), and navigate the intense competition, social mobility, and international influences (like German immigrant bakers) that define the birth of the modern bakery.💚 Join the Absolute History club to get access to exclusive member benefits! 👉 https://bit.ly/3qTE0NR📺 You can now become a History Hit member right here on YouTube!

    Château de Chambord: Da Vinci's "Impossible" Project

    This documentary unveils the monumental engineering and scandalous history behind the Château de Chambord, a structure so ambitious it was once deemed impossible. Commissioned by the young, visionary King Francis I and designed in collaboration with the legendary Leonardo da Vinci, this "stone giant" was built on a treacherous swamp using revolutionary 3D-like geometry, including its famous double-helix staircase. From hiding the Mona Lisa during WWII to bankrupting the French treasury, the video explores the construction secrets, the "coded messages" in its architecture, and the 500-year-old mystery of its missing floor plans.💚 Join the Absolute History club to get access to exclusive member benefits! 👉 https://bit.ly/3qTE0NR📺 You can now become a History Hit member right here on YouTube!

    The Bombing Raid That Almost Wiped London Off The Map

    In this film, we walk the modern streets of London to uncover the scars of a night that should have broken the nation's morale. From the "grimy-faced heroes" of the Auxiliary Fire Service—many of whom were taxi drivers towing pumps with rope—to the frantic struggle to save St Paul’s Cathedral under direct orders from Winston Churchill, we explore the courage that kept the city standing.💚 Join the Absolute History club to get access to exclusive member benefits! 👉 https://bit.ly/3qTE0NR📺 You can now become a History Hit member right here on YouTube!

    Could Bigfoot ACTUALLY Exist?

    Scott Wolter does not believe in Bigfoot--but he sure hears about it a lot. That's because the earliest Bigfoot sightings were supposedly recorded in--guess what? Rocks. Bigfoot sightings are pervasive along the West coast, but lately, reports of the big beast have started popping up in Minnesota--his home state--and he heads to investigate. Entering into the investigation as a skeptic--which is not a role we often see Scott in--he decides to tackle the question of whether Bigfoot is real. He goes in search of proof, checking out rock paintings of Bigfoot in California and even traveling to Nepal where he meets with a Sherpa who tells him he's seen the Yeti, an Asiatic "cousin" of Bigfoot that still roams the Himalayas, with his own eyes. So in the end, will Scott become a believer?💚 Join the Absolute History club to get access to exclusive member benefits! 👉 https://bit.ly/3qTE0NR📺 You can now become a History Hit member right here on YouTube!
