 The History Hacker: Digging Up the Tales They Didn't Teach You at School

History is not old books and dates. It's a vast, messy web of forgotten heroes, unsolved mysteries, and the unexpected origins of the things we take for granted. Welcome to "The History Hacker," where we explore the dark corners of the past, digging up the tales that get lost in the big stories

Why "Hack" History?

Because sometimes the most compelling stories are buried under layers of accepted wisdom. We're here to dispel the myths, upset the conventional narratives, and give you history in a style that's as engaging as it is informative. Consider us your virtual archaeologists, excavating the past and presenting it anew.

What You'll Find Here:

Forgotten Figures, Remarkable Lives: Ever heard of Mary Seacole, the Jamaican nurse who competed with Florence Nightingale? Or Bass Reeves, the iconic Black U.S. Marshal? We'll put the spotlight on those whose works were overshadowed by the popular narrative.
Unsolved Mysteries, Baffling Cases: From the vanishing of the Roanoke colony to who Jack the Ripper was, we'll examine the historical mysteries that still perplex experts. We'll look at the evidence, consider the theories, and invite you to come along on the investigation.
Decoding the Past: Documents and Artifacts: A dimmed letter, a frayed tool, an enigmatic inscription – these items contain the secrets of the past. We'll examine historical documents and artifacts, uncovering the stories they reveal.
Mythbusters: History Edition: Did Marie Antoinette ever utter, "Let them eat cake?" Was the Trojan Horse really a myth? We'll bust common misconceptions in history, distinguishing fact from fiction.
The History of Everyday Things: That cup of coffee you're sipping? The zipper on your coat? It all has a history. We'll follow the history of everyday things, and uncover the interesting stories behind them.
Our Approach: Storytelling and Accessibility

We think that history must be engaging, not boring. We'll present these stories to you with an emphasis on storytelling, employing vivid descriptions, interesting narratives, and visual elements to make the past come true.
