You'll also hear about drowned cities lost beneath the sea and ancient civilizations swallowed by rising tides.

  • Justice for Yassin: Child Abuse and Silence in Middle Eastern History
    May 3 2025

    Episode Title: Justice for Yassin: Child Abuse and Silence in Middle Eastern History

    In this haunting episode of The Enchanted Archives, we break the silence surrounding child abuse in Middle Eastern history, with a chilling look at real stories that were buried under layers of fear, shame, and cultural taboo. Centered around the fictional story of Yassin — a symbol of the countless unheard and unseen victims — this episode uncovers the disturbing realities of sexual abuse, domestic trauma, and institutional neglect across different eras of the Arab and Islamic world.

    We explore how historical societies dealt with (or ignored) accusations of child molestation, the role of power dynamics and patriarchal systems in silencing victims, and the disturbing parallels that still echo in modern times. Through archived cases, folklore, religious texts, and documented testimonies, Justice for Yassin offers a raw, unflinching journey into a dark chapter of human history that demands reckoning.

    Whether you're a listener interested in dark folklore, Middle Eastern social history, true crime, or cultural taboos, this episode blends narrative storytelling with historical investigation to reveal the truth hidden in the shadows.
