S02 E01 Taiping Heavenly Kingdom
Manage episode 267937099 series 2606539
What's the bloodiest cult of all time? Jim Jones? Nope. David Koresh? Pfft. Amateur. Nope, it's the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom which sprang up in nineteenth century China when one aspiring civil servant failed his exams and decided he was the brother of Jesus Christ.
Confused? You will be. You will be. (Yoda).
