Are you convinced history is a snoozefest? What if we told you the past is packed with moments so bonkers, so hilariously weird, they make viral videos look tame? From armies declaring war on BIRDS (and losing!) to popes putting CORPSES on trial, real history is way stranger than any fiction!
If textbooks are a total yawn, or if you secretly love the most unbelievable Wait, THAT actually happened?! moments, then this book is screaming your name.
Unhinged History isn't your grandma's history lesson (unless your grandma is secretly awesome and knows about bat bombs). It's a laugh-out-loud, jaw-dropping collection of the most bizarre true tales that prove the past was a wild, wacky, and wonderfully weird place. Get ready for history, but with all the boring bits surgically removed and replaced with pure WTF-ery!
Inside Unhinged History, you'll discover:
- An emperor who loved his horse SO MUCH he tried to make it a top government official (seriously).
- How a pope dug up a ROTTING CORPSE, dressed it in fancy robes, and put it on TRIAL.
- When Napoleon Bonaparte, conqueror of Europe, got totally owned by an army of fluffy BUNNIES.
- The exploding whale incident that showered a town in blubber (you can't make this stuff up!).
- A government trying to get rid of snakes by paying for dead ones, only to end up with MORE snakes (oops!).
- The dancing plague where people literally DANCED themselves to death!
- The man who declared himself EMPEROR of America... and people just kind of went along with it!
Grab your copy of Unhinged History today and prepare to see the past like never before - it's way more unhinged than you ever imagined!
