Martin Luther didn't just challenge the Catholic Church—he helped change the course of Western civilization.
This week on **History Hyenas**, the boys dive into the wild story of the monk who took on the most powerful institution in Europe. From the infamous **95 Theses** and the sale of indulgences to the printing press, peasant revolts, and the birth of Protestantism, Yannis and Chris break down how one man sparked a revolution that reshaped religion, politics, and culture forever.
But Luther's legacy isn't all heroic. The Hyenas also tackle the darker side of his story, including his vicious antisemitic writings later in life, how they influenced centuries of anti-Jewish thought, and why his work remains both revolutionary and deeply controversial.
Was Luther a hero, a troublemaker, or both? History gets the Hyenas treatment: hilarious, chaotic, and surprisingly educational.
