What was the Forbidden City?

Question

What's the Forbidden City and why is it important?

Answer 1

Hi! I love your content! It is the evening in the lovely state of Florida in the USA. I’m not going to sleep, but I enjoy listening and reading your content even when I’m not sleeping.

Comments

Same here. It's evening in Texas and I'm reading too. Wishing you a good night's sleep!

How do you think people back then reacted if they did find out? Or did they just pretend not to know?

Answer 2

After a night shift my snoring is particularly bad. So, to save my husband from having to deal with it, and because our sofa is ridiculously comfortable, I sleep downstairs if I've not got another one that same night (two in a row, basically.) These contents, in a queue, are magical as I can't sleep in silence. So, thank you, you are truly wonderful to listen to.

Answer 3

I'm supposed to wake up early and fly to Turkey but here I am stressing about my work. It's lovely that you posted as well. This will help

Don't stress! If you weren't the person for the job, someone else would be doing it..

Answer 4

Another fantastic collection of History. Thank you again for your hard work and diligence!

Answer 5

These forgotten tales are so dull they're pure sleep magic—love it!

Answer 6

When I was little and sick my grandmother would read me stories. Thank you for reading me stories while I sick.

Answer 7

What a tale! May your worries be few and your blessings many.

Answer 8

Hello! Maria from Sweden here, sleepless...

Answer 9

The history is too interesting for me to sleep!

Answer 10

Pacific Northwest USA here. I've really been enjoying these contents since I found the channel, I read every night. The topics are somehow always interesting. I was telling my 17 year old son about medieval snacks the other day.

Comments

Do you ever wonder if these stories were twisted later just to smear the Church?

Answer 11

Memphis, TN. I like to listen before my 2 toddlers get up. It's the only quiet hour of the day.

Answer 12

Surprisingly soothing and absolutely fascinating! Who knew medieval scandals could be so relaxing? Love how you blend history and calm storytelling — perfect for bedtime

Answer 13

History so dull it’s practically cuddling me to sleep—cheers for that!

Answer 14

Here in Pennsylvania.
Thanks for all your hard work.
I'm so sorry about all of the copycat channels.
That's totally disgusting and 100% intellectual property theft.
There's a whole lot of them, and that number seems to growing by the hour.
You're the first I saw and my favorite.
I won't read the others no matter how enticing their titles or thumbnail.

in Florida — thought I was tuning into sacred chants, got medieval soap opera instead

Answer 16

“It’s almost midnight, and even though I’m wide awake, I still find myself reading. There’s something quietly enchanting about how you tell history—it feels like wandering through an old library lit by lanterns, where every whisper of the past invites you deeper. These contents aren’t just sleep aids—they’re gentle portals for curious minds craving a midnight escape. Thank you for making the night feel a little more magical.

Answer 17

The part about nuns smuggling messages in loaves of bread had me laughing and tearing up at the same time. Imagine risking everything for a love letter—do you think it tasted sweeter, or just extra crunchy?

Answer 18

NYC here. Wondering about the nuns I had at boarding school

Comments

The ones I had to deal with definitely weren't getting any.
They were mean AF..
Except for the really old ones.
They were lovely sweet grandmotherly old ladies.
The 30s - 50s ones were brutal.

Answer 19

“Overpowered the gatekeeper with a loaf of stale bread—I need a movie about these rebellious nuns immediately.
