Hemligstämplat är podden där vi öppnar arkiven till världens största mysterier.
Varje vecka dyker vi ner i fascinerande berättelser om försvunna civilisationer, förbjuden historia, UFO-observationer, konspirationsteorier, olösta gåtor och märkliga fenomen som fortfarande saknar svar.
Var sanningen går och spekulationen börjar är inte alltid självklart. Därför följer vi spåren hela vägen – från de mest häpnadsväckande påståendena till de fakta som kan bekräfta, förklara eller ibland göra mysteriet ännu djupare.
Frågan är inte vad du ska tro.
Frågan är hur mycket som fortfarande är hemligstämplat.

From the first runic whispers of the Jelling stones to the sleek design of modern welfare state, Denmark’s history is a saga of resilience, adaptation, and quiet influence. This show traces the arc of a small northern nation that once terrorized Europe as Viking raiders—Ragnar Lothbrok, Harald Bluetooth, Cnut the Great—and later reinvented itself as a Baltic power under the Kalmar Union and the Oldenburg dynasty. We’ll explore the reign of Christian IV, builder of Kronborg and Rosenborg; the catastrophic Thirty Years’ War and the loss of Skåne; the absolutist constitution of 1665; the rise of the peasant-friendly Grundtvigian movement; the peaceful transition to democracy in 1849; the German-Danish wars over Schleswig-Holstein; the German occupation of World War II and the rescue of Danish Jews; and the postwar emergence of hygge, design, and green energy. Lucas and Luna guide listeners through these centuries, weighing the costs of empire, the power of small-state diplomacy, and the meaning of a kingdom that chose quiet strength over loud conquest. Denmark’s story is not just about the past—it asks what it means to wield influence without dominance.#VikingAge #HaraldBluetooth #CnutTheGreat #KalmarUnion #OldenburgDynasty #ChristianIV #ThirtyYearsWar #Absolutism #Grundtvig #SchleswigHolstein #WorldWarII #DanishRescue #Hygge #KronborgCastle #DanishHistory #ScandinavianHistory #History #FexingoHistoryKeep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo

This book provides the history of one of the most renowned emperors of all time. The Great Khan. This was a man born Temujin to a clan leader father who was later poisoned. The family was left unprotected and without power to fend for themselves on the Eurasian Steppe. Genghis later rose to power and founded the Mongol Empire, one of the largest in all of history. Despite his great achievement and ferocious reputation there is much we do not know of him, even what he looked like. Historians state that there is not a single portrait of the man that survives to the present day. All current renditions are done after his death by people who never knew him. His death is recorded and his entombment discussed...but all remains to be found. Summary by afutterer

Henry VII, the founder of the Tudor dynasty, less known than his son, Henry VIII, or granddaughter Elizabeth I, is often overlooked. This King toppled the ruling House that had held England's throne for over four hundred years, the Plantagenets, and took a divided, war torn country and made one of the richest in Europe by the time of his death in 1609. Henry VII’s reign was characterized by thrift, prudence, and cool-headed political strategies. The author, James Gairdner (22 March 1828 – 4 November 1912), was a British historian. He specialized in 15th-century and early Tudor history. - Summary by Cavaet

The Wars of the Jews (or The History of the Destruction of Jerusalem, or as it usually appears in modern English translations, The Jewish War - original title: Phlauiou Iôsêpou historia Ioudaïkou polemou pros Rhômaious bibliona) is a book written by the 1st century Jewish historian Josephus. It is a description of Jewish history from the capture of Jerusalem by the Seleucid ruler Antiochus IV Epiphanes in 164 BC to the fall and destruction of Jerusalem in the First Jewish-Roman War in AD 70. The book was written about 75, originally in Josephus's "paternal tongue", probably Aramaic, though this version has not survived. It was later translated into Greek, probably under the supervision of Josephus himself. The sources of knowledge that we have of this war are Josephus's account and from the Talmud (gittin 57b) and in midrash Eichah. (Summary by Wikipedia)

This book collects seven short stories by some of England's best turn-of-the-(last)-century's writers. The collection begins with the humor of J. M. Barrie, of Peter Pan fame. A later and equally humorous story is by Israel Zangwill, also widely known for his exposures of social and economic problems. The immensely popular Marie Corelli’s contribution is the last, and among the most moving. (NB: Though a less prominent writer than some represented here, Corelli was so popular that her literary sales exceeded those of Arthur Conan Doyle, H. G. Wells and Rudyard Kipling – combined.) In short, these writers offer great variety as to style, tone and topic, ranging from breezy tales to poignant proofs of the kindness and grace that can underlie the deepest tragedies. But while diverse, these writers have in common that they clearly know and clearly express genuine emotional truth. They hold our attention by conveying their stories honestly. They have no need for the tricks and devices of melodrama, shallow emotionalism, or shocking plot twists. This accomplishment – this evidence of high literary quality – is all the more impressive in historical and social context. They lived in a time of widespread suffering. Yet even as most of these writers begin by drawing our attention to terrible and extensive suffering (and go on by holding it there), they end by keeping our attention in writing clearly and convincingly about important things they really know - leaving us moved, convinced, and a little richer for the experience. - Summary by Kirsten Wever

Childe Harold's Pilgrimage is a narrative poem in four parts written by Lord Byron. It was published between 1812 and 1818. The poem describes the travels and reflections of a world-weary young man who, disillusioned with a life of pleasure and revelry, looks for distraction in foreign lands. In a wider sense, it is an expression of the melancholy and disillusionment felt by a generation weary of the wars of the post-Revolutionary and Napoleonic eras. The title comes from the term Childe, a medieval title for a young man who was a candidate for knighthood. Canto III describes Harold's travels in Belgium, Germany and Switzerland. - Summary by Alan Mapstone
