Historygonebananas

BananaKing writes Past Gone Nuts, a daily dive into the weird, witty, and occasionally profound side of history. Smart stories for curious minds — told with a wink.

This Substack is fantastic for lovers of history. They address a topic in each essay and provide an interesting explanation. The topics can range from why German tanks were not really that great to why ancient cities were chaotic. It is a fun source of history.
