Boring History For Sleep | What DATING Was Like In Medieval Times and more
Boring History For Sleep | What DATING Was Like In Medieval Times and more We’re told history is built on love stories, legendary leaders, and unstoppable progress. But when you look closer, a far darker pattern emerges—one that textbooks rarely explain. This video exposes how love was used as control, how power thrived on domination and defiance, and how progress was built on erased lives. From medieval Europe’s marriage contracts that treated people like property, to the rise of Queen Tomyris who shattered one of the greatest empires in history, to America’s Transcontinental Railroad that celebrated progress while hiding mass exploitation—these stories are not random. They follow the same mechanics, repeating across centuries. You’ll see how medieval romance wasn’t romantic at all, why courtly love was performative and dangerous, how widows gained freedom only to be punished for it, and why Queen Tomyris still unsettles historians today. Then we fast-forward to modern history, where the “golden spike” ceremony symbolized unity—while silencing the laborers, Indigenous peoples, and communities destroyed to make it possible. This isn’t just a history lesson. It’s a pattern reveal. Because history doesn’t repeat itself by accident. It repeats because we reward the same behavior—again and again. Watch closely. Once you see it, you can’t unsee it. Royalty Free Music from Tunetank.com Track: Rainy Evening by Finval https://tunetank.com/track/3621-rainy...
