cages of history
Welcome to Cages of History— where the past is not told through kings and empires, but through the prisons that held their secrets.
In this channel, we open the rusted doors of forgotten cells, explore haunted dungeons buried beneath castles, and uncover the true stories of those who were trapped behind iron bars — rebels, heretics, prisoners of war, and innocent souls lost to time.
From the Iron Maidens of medieval Europe to the hanging cages of Nuremberg, from the dark corridors of the Tower of London to the stone dungeons of Venice, every episode reveals the cruelty, fear, and mystery that shaped the darkest side of human history.
Each story is told with cinematic detail — the sound of iron chains, the flicker of torchlight, the echoes of footsteps down ancient corridors. These are not just tales of punishment, but reflections of human power, faith, and survival.
Our journey spans centuries:
Ancient torture chambers used by kings and inquisitors.
