  • S4 E6 Vanished - The Argentine Dirty War
    Send us a text. Thank you for your messages I really appreciate it 😁Thousands vanished without a trace. Pulled from their homes, their schools, their lives—never to be seen again.In this powerful and deeply unsettling episode of The Dark History Podcast, we take you into the heart of Argentina’s Dirty War—a brutal period between 1976 and 1983 when a military dictatorship unleashed a calculated campaign of terror against its own people. Under the guise of national reorganization, the regime turned city streets, schoolrooms, and even maternity wards into battlegrounds of control.You’ll hear the haunting story of Claudia Falcone, a teenage girl kidnapped for protesting student bus fares. She became one of the most well-known of the desaparecidos—the disappeared. You’ll learn about the government’s use of secret detention centres, where people were tortured with electric shocks, starved, and raped. Pregnant women were murdered and their babies stolen—raised by the very regime that killed their parents. And you’ll hear the devastating account of death flights, where prisoners were sedated, shackled, and thrown alive from planes into the ocean.This episode isn’t fiction. It’s not a horror story made to shock. It’s real. These events happened, and many of those responsible walked free for decades.But it’s also a story of resistance—of mothers who marched every week for years, demanding to know what happened to their children. Of survivors who broke their silence. And of a country still wrestling with its past.If you think these things could never happen again, you need to hear this.Settle in, light a fire, and prepare yourself—because this isn’t just dark history. This is a warning.🎧 Perfect for listeners interested in true crime, dark history, hidden atrocities, and the terrifying power of authoritarian regimes.👇 If you’re new to the show, make sure to subscribe and check out our other deep dives into the darkest corners of history.Support the show*** Patreon link https://patreon.com/Darkhistory2021?utm_medium=clipboard_copy&utm_source=copyLink&utm_campaign=creatorshare_creator&utm_content=join_link *** Merch:https://www.teepublic.com/stores/dark-history?ref_id=36220 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/darkhistorypod?mibextid=LQQJ4d Discord https://discord.gg/3mHPd3xg Email: [email protected] Tiktok: https://vm.tiktok.com/ZMLSvwJJV/ YouTube :https://youtube.com/c/DarkHistory2021 Twitter: @darkhistory2021 Instagram: @dark_history21

  • S4 E3 The Zannanza Affair: Egypt’s Ancient Murder Mystery
    Send us a text. Thank you for your messages I really appreciate it 😁A foreign prince was about to become Pharaoh of Egypt—until he vanished. The Zannanza Affair is one of the greatest unsolved mysteries of the ancient world, a tale of power, betrayal, and murder that history tried to erase.After the death of Pharaoh Tutankhamun, his widow, Queen Ankhesenamun, made a shocking plea to Egypt’s sworn enemy—the Hittite Empire. She begged their king to send his son, Zannanza, to marry her and rule Egypt. This was unheard of. Egypt never allowed foreign rulers to sit on its throne. Yet, against all odds, the Hittite prince set out on the journey of a lifetime. But he never arrived. Somewhere along the way, he was killed.Who was behind this assassination? Was it the ambitious Egyptian chancellor, Ay, who sought power for himself? Was it the ruthless general, Horemheb, determined to keep Egypt under native rule? Or was it a sinister plot by the Hittites themselves? His death led to war, shifting the balance of power between two mighty empires and leaving behind a trail of blood and unanswered questions.In this episode of Dark History, we unravel the mystery of the lost prince, the desperate queen, and the deadly game of politics that shaped the fate of Egypt. Could Zannanza have escaped? Was his death an act of war or a cover-up? And why did this incredible story fade into obscurity while Tutankhamun’s tomb became world-famous?Join us as we travel back over 3,000 years to uncover the truth behind The Zannanza Affair. 🎙️⚰️🔎👉 Don’t forget to subscribe and leave a review—it helps more dark history lovers find us!Support the show*** Patreon link https://patreon.com/Darkhistory2021?utm_medium=clipboard_copy&utm_source=copyLink&utm_campaign=creatorshare_creator&utm_content=join_link *** Merch:https://www.teepublic.com/stores/dark-history?ref_id=36220 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/darkhistorypod?mibextid=LQQJ4d Discord https://discord.gg/3mHPd3xg Email: [email protected] Tiktok: https://vm.tiktok.com/ZMLSvwJJV/ YouTube :https://youtube.com/c/DarkHistory2021 Twitter: @darkhistory2021 Instagram: @dark_history21
