THE ILLUMINATI: REAL HISTORY AND THE CONSPIRACY THAT NEVER DIED

Episode 10 | History's Mysteries — Secret Societies & ConspiraciesIn this Mystery episode we focus on the Illuminati — a Bavarian secret society founded in 1776 with five members, shut down by the government ten years later, and supposedly still controlling the world today.This episode tells both stories: the real Illuminati — Adam Weishaupt's Enlightenment reading club that lasted a decade and achieved nothing — and the mythology that has absorbed every generation's anxieties since, from the 1797 pamphlets that blamed the French Revolution on Masonic scheming to the social media claims that Beyoncé is an Illuminati agent.The real story is not what you expect. The mythology tells us something important about ourselves.#HistoryMystery #Illuminati #ConspiracyTheory #SecretSociety #MysteryPodcast
