Imagine the leader of a dynastic family takes as much power as he can away from the only other people with any power in a country and then creates a cult of personality around himself. It could only happen in ancient Egypt...right? Akhenaten ripped an entire culture apart in his quest to assert his authority over it, while simultaneously ignoring external threats to his power. He is without doubt one of the dumbest people in History! ⁠⁠https://www.patreon.com/HistorysGreatestIdiots⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/historysgreatestidiots⁠⁠⁠ Artist: Sarah Chey ⁠⁠⁠https://www.fiverr.com/sarahch ..read more

In the first episode of Season 5 Lev and Derek look into a British cult...or maybe Lighthouse Global isn't a cult. Honestly, how could anyone think that? It's not like they displayed any coercive behaviour, made hollow promises, stole money from people and used it to fund extravagant lifestyles, and threatened anyone that looked into them or anything... Paul Waugh, Lighthouse's leader, describes himself as "a Christian, founder and CEO of Lighthouse Global, helping people achieve their God-given potential." His house is VERY nice. ⁠⁠https://www.patreon.com/HistorysGreatestIdiots⁠⁠ ⁠⁠https://w ..read more

Loved by the financial and Neo-Liberal establishment, and hated by (many) others, Margaret Thatcher left several indelible marks on society that have shaped our world.
