6 - The Mongol Mass-Beheading of Nishapur
The Mongols sacked many cities over the course of their reign, but perhaps none so brutally as the Persian jewel of Nishapur in 1221. When they were done, giant pyramids of human heads stood where a majestic, cosmopolitan, Silk Road oasis had flourished only a few short days before. Be glad, so glad, you never lived on the wrong side of Genghis in this unbelievably bloody edition of Timesuck. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

1 - Lizard Illuminati Conspiracy
Did you believe that a race of alien lizards has been secretly running the world’s governments since the dawn of human civilization, mining for mono-atomic gold in their underground cities and tunnels, creating world wars in order to feast on human sadness and controlling our thoughts from their moon weapon? If you do, you should probably skip this podcast and order one of British conspiracy theorist David Icke’s books explaining oh so much more about the reptilian agenda. If you think this sounds like wildly entertaining nonsense, you’ve come to the right place!! Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
