We recognized an opportunity to fill a void by providing a platform that delves into lesser-known aspects of history, brings forgotten stories to light, and offers diverse perspectives on well-documented events. Our founding team, passionate about history and storytelling, set out to create a space where knowledge is not just imparted but experienced.
