@@ThePatriotParadox If it’s any consolation, we’re all dying, just at different rates. I know that might not be any solace to you, but it’s something that’s happened to everyone who’s ever lived and will certainly happen to everyone who’s living now. So you’re not alone, and this thought makes me wonder if there’s anything worth fearing. I hope you find peace, sir.
Oh my fabourite voice, lovely fire. Travelling to ancient days and old ways, to the luxury. Fruit tree lined route. Oh my goodness, I do love this beautiful voice
Yes indeed, it did deserve to be extended! The Silk Road is one of the most fascinating subjects in world history for me. THANK YOU for your exquisite work on these videos! @@TheFrenchWhispererASMR
@TheFrenchWhispererASMR So I'm not crazy. You did make this one before! This longer version is amazing too! The atmosphere you create in all your videos is just sublime.
Getting a video about this topic is great. I remember a great assignment I had in history class where we were tasked with writing a short story about a journey along the Silk Road
❤❤❤ Love snuggling in as he lights the library fireplace! 🔥🔥🔥 I will listen to this one several times over to learn and relax to. I am excited about this topic.
Beautiful story. On a trip in Turkey in 2011, my group visited a caravansari. This story brings back those memories clearly! I learned so much from the narration (obviously, I did not fall asleep - i was working on a project.) I’m going to re-listen while going to bed. Thank you!
As an artist, art historian, interior designer and builder ... I love this gentle voice and artistic meditative invocation presentation of the “Silk Road”. Thank you
❤ I by chance clicked to your FACEBOOK PAGE . ❤ WOWWWWWW. I was stunned. I always close my eyes while listening to your narrations. No matter the story line, i alwayzzzzzzzz picture you in my eye as the narrator in the back ground as a wise ancient wise Indian with a colorful jewel Adorned turban sitting on a tattered fadded carpet. There's a faint cloud around you from the tea kettle brewing with the smell of delicate herbs and fennel in the herbs from your tea .. ha ha.. Imagine my delightful surprize ❤🎉!!!! Touche 🎉. Keep up the phenomenal narrations. You are loved & valued more than you know ❤🎉
I am very happy to have 😊 discovered The French Whisperer. Thank you Sir for your most interesting tales of yore. Merry Christmas and best wishes for the new Year.
Thank you for this. How do you prepare your pieces? I can tell it takes research and effort and passion. Just so impressed and always thankful for what you put put into the stratosphere, for us. Merci Señor.
Thanks! I made a video 3 or 4 years ago to explain my process, between other things. It is called something like "channel rambling". It did not change much since I recorded it, except I tend to spend more and more time on research and planning before I record.
J'adore! Ce serait aussi super que tu fasses des vidéos sur les étrusques ou sur l'histoire de France. HENRI IV par exemple ou Frenegonde et Brunehaut .
Your videos are always a treat to look forward to, thank you. For future videos, just as a suggestion if you do a poll, it’d be interesting to see/hear a video on the oldest business(es) in the world, just to name a few, Kongo Gumi in Japan, St. Peter Stifts Kulinarium in Austria, Staffelter Hof in Germany, or Monnaie de Paris in France.
There were/are caravanserai on the Annapurna Circuit. They were/are a square structure with an inner courtyard. Between the outer wall and inner wall of the courtyard it formed a square corridor that was a resting place and thoroughfare for travelllers where trade continued.
you should do the Oregon Trail, and the life of travelers/native American encounters and how folk lore and common sayings or activities came out from it
I’m still fascinated with the amount of various props used specifically for the story of each video. They immerse you deeply as if you were actually existing in that timeline.
What about the Hyborian age? As it says in the Sacred Scrolls, "Between the time when the oceans drank Atlantis, a the rise of the Sons Of Aries, there was an age undreamed of. And onto this.....Conan.....destined to wear the jeweled crown of Aquilonia upon a troubled brow. It is I, his chronicaler, who alone can tell thee of his tale. Let me tell you of the days of High Adventure!"
If you can tell me about where did you find about the disputed Chinese silk from Ancient Egypt that you mentioned on 3:33, I would be most appreciative.
Idk if I should feel satisfied or disappointed about the topic of the video not being the Silk Road I thought it'd be, i passed out too soon listening to this silky video to remember.

He’s now the only one i listen to anymore.
I work at a museum that currently has an exhibit on textiles that traveled by the silk road so this is P E R F E C T 💕💕
Lucky.. that’s super cool to get a behind the scenes look at that kind of stuff
@@datman3416 it was super cool!!! so many lovely tapestries and cloth

One of the true treasures of TH-cam!
This man is helping me get enough sleep every night. Thank you French Whisperer.
I only clicked on this just to say I cannot wait to listen to this for the next three weeks. I love this channel!
This channel is a gold mine, it‘s incredible! Thank you for your work!
Thank you for helping me sleep. Woke up in the middle of the night and thought it was hopeless. 🥰
I can't even imagine the amount of work that goes into your videos but every single one is an absolute masterpiece! Thank you!
Yes!!! I always am extra excited for bedtime when there’s a new French whisperer video to listen to. Thank you!
Ooh, wonderful! The Silk Road is fascinating, I still listen to the original one, but this one's much longer. 😺
Yes, I thought this one deserved to be remade.
Yes indeed, it did deserve to be extended!
The Silk Road is one of the most fascinating subjects in world history for me. THANK YOU for your exquisite work on these videos!

two types of viewers on this video:
1. history bores me to sleep
2. i like history and want to fall asleep to it
The Silk Road video you did years ago is still one of my all time favorites so I’m so excited for this one! Thank you.
Anyone else excited to go to bed early tonight??????
I've been taking myself slowly off my anxiety medication, so for a month now I've been having nightmares. Imagine, my age, having nightmares.
Fixing bad habits..

Ephemeral Rift during the day and The French Whisperer at night. best combo.
👍👍. Works for me too..... 👃✌️🥰🇨🇦
It has been a while for me to watch asmr videos after a hard period in my life. I’m glad I’ve tuned back in❤I loved this ❤️
Most ASMR videos are just interesting OR relaxing, you always combine the 2! Love your videos more than words can say.
As an artist, art historian, interior designer and builder ... I love this gentle voice and artistic meditative invocation presentation of the “Silk Road”. Thank you
The world sleeps better tonight as another well written and well spoken tale is told.
That was fascinating 😎
Thank you so much ! I have been hoping you would do one on the Silk Road! Here we go!
Thank You! I didn’t know I was waiting for tonight’s story until you delivered it!❤
Yes! Thank you. The night is saved.
I get so excited when theres a new video!! WOOOOO!! YEAHHHH!!!

Exceptionally rich in history facts and beautiful visuals. Bravo, Monsieur.

I don't know how could I live without this channel.
Very informative, a feast for all of us that love historical stories!
I love these videos, they are interesting and soothing, lulls me to sleep like no other.
I am very happy to have 😊 discovered The French Whisperer. Thank you Sir for your most interesting tales of yore. Merry Christmas and best wishes for the new Year.
Ohh yes, It’s that time again. Great as always, French!
Wonderful. Thank you
Monsieur ! Superbe comme d'habitude. Je me demande, est-ce que vous comptez faire des nouvelles vidéos en français ? Elles me manquent tellement !
I love when the new stories come out!
I can't thank you enough for these videos. Best most interesting audio to fall asleep to by far, fantastic work
Thank you, thank you so much! Can't wait for bedtime! Love you!❤
This combines so many wonderful things in one video. History and ASMR being fantastic. Thank you!
Thanks!
Thank you!
Well, now I know what I'm falling asleep to for the next few days
This guy needs more tea. The bag is almost empty.
Thank you for this.

@@TheFrenchWhispererASMR I imagine it’s like writing an essay
Danke!
Very soothing and very informative, as always!!
Ohhhh...what a treasure to find this channel! ❤️
Real ones remember the first time the French Whisperer made a video on the Silk Road
Perfect timing, with my AP world history test in two days!! It’ll help remind me of units 1 and 2, which had a lot of Silk Road involvement.
Good luck! 🎉
@@elinorr1135 Thank you!
Excellent history talks, soothing asmr.
Lindo trabalho de edição , obrigada
Obrigado!
A real treat this evening
I like these videos because I feel like I'm learning something but also I learn nothing because I fall asleep in like ten seconds
J'adore! Ce serait aussi super que tu fasses des vidéos sur les étrusques ou sur l'histoire de France. HENRI IV par exemple ou Frenegonde et Brunehaut .
True perfection. Thankyou.
Listening on Christmas Eve 2023! SUBSCRIBED ❤

Looks like I’m going for a journey tonight =)))
I can sit through these stories all day if I had a choice 🥰
It always takes me a few days to get through it, because I always fall asleep so quickly and have to go back to where I left off the next night
Your opening line hooked me. Amazing voice my friend :D
Passionnant! Merci ❤
i’m gonna listen tonight just dropping a like and comment for now ❤
Beautiful, thank you : )
Excellent! More history!

you should do the Oregon Trail, and the life of travelers/native American encounters and how folk lore and common sayings or activities came out from it
I never made an entire video about it, but I talked about the Oregon Trail in a story about the Donner Party.
Oh wonderful.❤❤❤
Thank you sooo much!!!
Love it!
😴😴😴 love his voice
I’m still fascinated with the amount of various props used specifically for the story of each video. They immerse you deeply as if you were actually existing in that timeline.
Love these videos
I got the "atmosphere" ap so now I give your stories a soundtrack
For some reason I got excited and thought this was the history of the infamous website Silk Road which was the first marketplace on the dark web
Merci beaucoup!
Lovely voice.
this is epic instant sub from tunisia
Ths for your story ❤
Incredible amazing
What about the Hyborian age? As it says in the Sacred Scrolls, "Between the time when the oceans drank Atlantis, a the rise of the Sons Of Aries, there was an age undreamed of. And onto this.....Conan.....destined to wear the jeweled crown of Aquilonia upon a troubled brow. It is I, his chronicaler, who alone can tell thee of his tale.

u gotta do ap world history review in asmr even though the exam is already tommorow
this is how i’m studying for my ap world exam 🙏
What a beautiful voice
If you can tell me about where did you find about the disputed Chinese silk from Ancient Egypt that you mentioned on 3:33, I would be most appreciative.
This article and several others from the 1990's www.nytimes.com/1993/03/16/science/new-finds-suggest-even-earlier-trade-on-fabled-silk-road.html
@@TheFrenchWhispererASMR great. Thank you very much 👍
i dont listen to male asmr much , but you are really good at it ,
I would love you to read Frank Herberts Dune. That would put me to sleep or keep me awake with longing. 😊❤
❤Love from China
Why did I assume this was about the website and not the actual ancient trading route
Idk if I should feel satisfied or disappointed about the topic of the video not being the Silk Road I thought it'd be, i passed out too soon listening to this silky video to remember.
Ghangis Khan approaches on sandblasted horse...sleep coming
Wow this sounds like a fantastic doc....zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
