About this listen

Welcome back to Bloomin’ Legends! The podcast where Johnny Vaughan and Gavin “The Woodman” Woods uncover the wildest, boldest, and most unbelievable true stories from history.

In this episode, we dive into the astonishing life of Fu Hao, the Shang Dynasty warrior queen, high priestess, military commander, and one-woman wrecking crew who became ancient China’s answer to Tutankhamun.

Her tomb, untouched for over 3,000 years, revealed treasures, weaponry, and secrets that rewrote everything we thought we knew about early Chinese civilisation. But long before archaeologists uncovered her legend, Fu Hao was out there leading armies, smashing enemies, and becoming one of the most powerful figures in Bronze Age Asia.

What You’ll Hear in This Episode:

⚔️ China’s Ultimate Warrior Queen – A royal consort who became a battlefield legend

🐅 Slayer of the Tu-Fang Tribe – How Fu Hao crushed one of the Shang’s fiercest enemies

🔮 High Priestess Power – Why she was trusted to speak to the gods

💎 The Tomb of Treasures – The discovery that made her China’s “Tutankhamun”
