History’s Darkest Crimes is a true crime and history podcast exploring the most brutal, shocking, and disturbing crimes ever committed—and the civilizations that tried to contain them.

Long before modern detectives, forensic science, and criminal psychology, there were murders that haunted empires, poisonings that reshaped dynasties, betrayals that triggered wars, and crimes so horrifying they changed the course of history.

Each episode dives into a real case from ancient and early history, telling the full story behind historical murders, assassinations, poison plots, political crimes, and acts of violence that echoed across generations. From royal courts and imperial palaces to temples, battlefields, and hidden chambers, these are the crimes history could never forget.

Through narrative storytelling and original sources, the show explores historical true crime, ancient justice systems, power and violence, and the psychology of killers, conspirators, and tyrants in worlds without modern law or protection.

This isn’t a sensational recap or casual crime show. It’s a deep, story-driven exploration of the darkest crimes in history, combining historical rigor with the suspense and moral complexity of true crime.

If you’re fascinated by true crime, ancient history, murders in history, political assassinations, poisoners, court conspiracies, and the violent underside of civilization—this podcast is for you.
