What happened next defied explanation. According to witnesses, the sun danced in the sky, spun like a wheel of fire, and plunged toward the earth, drying the soaked crowd in an instant.Was it a genuine divine intervention, a rare atmospheric phenomenon, or a collective psychological event triggered by war, hunger, and desperation?In this episode of Unexplained History, host Tom McKenzie investigates the Miracle of the Sun.
