Obviously, a secret sect doesn't control global events - despite what the internet says. But the myth of a shadowy cabal of elites grew out of a very real secret order, and one that went extinct within a decade. So what is the true story of the Illuminati? And why has it been blamed for every major crisis since, from the French Revolution to the New World Order?
Dan Snow and historian Michael Taylor, author of 'Illuminati', unravel history’s greatest conspiracy theory once and for all.
Produced by James Hickmann and edited by Matthew Wilson.
