ASMR - History of the Spice Road
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 28 ส.ค. 2024
- Soft spoken male asmr sleep story about the spice trade from Prehistoric times to our days. In this video, I invite you to travel along the Spice Road and discover how these mysterious spices, that were high-luxury goods for centuries, were brought to India, the Middle East and Europe. From the expansion of Austronesians to the Age of Discovery and Portuguese navigators, we explore what spices are, where they came from and why they were in such high demand.

I've never been the first to comment on your videos. But I do want to thank you for your videos, they have definitively improved my quality of life.
How are you doing? I've been reading in the news and from my Chilean family about the social unrest, the destruction and sacking of businesses and of the subway at the hands of socialist thugs, and the turmoil, I hope you and your close ones are safe and that your business is doing okay. Love your content, salutes from Panama.
I'm fine, and yes it has been rather chaotic but the disorders were worse 1 month ago.
@@TheFrenchWhispererASMR glad you're okay
@@TheFrenchWhispererASMR 😭 n'est il pas possible d'avoir les sous titres en 🇫🇷 plutot qu'en 🏴? si ton public francophone ne peux plus s'endormir sur tes vidéos par manque de vues, est il possible d'avoir a minima les S.T en Fr stttpppp? J'ai beau aller ds la config' et voir ds la faq, apparemment il appartient au publieur de la vidéo de configurer les langues des s.titres. Est ce que tu pourrai voir pr y remédier por FAVOR? Même en 🇪🇸 je m'en contenterai 😅
Je suis désolée de t'embêter, mais je n'ai trouvé aucun égal sur le net, et a chaque parution je suis trop frustrée... 😢
Sinon 1 vidéo/mois, voir ts les 2 mois en 🇫🇷 ne serai t'elle pas possible? S'iiiiillll teee plaaaiiiitt ? 😍
I never click on videos as fast as yours. Please don't go away again.
Amen amen, right please dont go away again. I too am very thankful for your return, very refreshing!
yes, a 'like' before listening, bc it's always amazing work, thankyou TFW :)
@@continentalmen please just 'be grateful & thankful' :), never ask pple to not 'go away again', we can't know what happens in life - and it may make feel a person sad or nervous, hopefully ALL will be good for TFW and he can-love to continue his amazing creations :)
My dear French Whisperer! I'm watching a show called "The Americans" there's a scene where a character is listening to your ASMR! Amazing! Season 4 Episode 1. You should be reimbursed for using your ASMR. Now I'm happy I've tried to watch this as it is not my taste in shows. You're speaking about railrodes & Agatha Christie's Muder on the Orient Express etc. Has anyone told you this??? All my love. 😘😘😘
Is this different than the spy TV show called The Americans set in the 1980s? I don't see ASMR fitting in that show's timeline.
I Wonder, about when in the episode does this take place?
@@yjk5737 This show is a modern show. Probably filmed within the last 5 years. I probably watched it on Amazon or Netflix.
Sorry if it's taken me some time to answer you.
@@the-craig Good afternoon - I can't remember. I watched that series over a year ago. I did annotate the series number & season. Sorry I cannot be more precise.
Did french whisperer ever reply to this question?
Amazing voice. Well researched topics. Engaging, easily digestible presentation. A true educator. These videos are a gift that I give myself every day. Christian is a treasure.

Over 5 years of videos and you still keep delivering absolute gold, can't thank you enough
He’s still going strong
This guy deserves some patreon luv, encouragement for his impeccable videos! Do it if you can plz!
I approve this message 😬
My favorite channel of all time... There is always a tinge of nostalgia for a brief relationship I had with a beautiful French girl in the early 2000s though... 😢
You are the only channel whose videos I always like. Not just ASMR, but learning interesting things as you relax/drift off.
The French Whisperer- A father reading a bedtime story, a best friend sharing travel journeys, and a LOVER whispering sweet nothings in my ear 💖 I learn sooo much from this amazing man- Thank you 🌷
I only found your videos after you came back from your long break, but I'm glad I did because they're always relaxing AND educational
I love how you share information and history in your videos. I also enjoy your serene delivery and visuals. Thank you!!!!!!
Thanksgiving and a new video from the French Whisperer? PLUS the fascinating Spice Road? Now thats a Thanksgiving to remember.
I have so many pepper corns in my cupboard, I'd love to go back in time and become filthy rich
You are awesome! I can’t fall asleep without you now lol. My favorite ASMR channel. I love relaxing while learning. :)
I’d listen to French Whisperer read the side of a cereal box, but I’m especially excited for this topic, since I’m low key obsessed with spices. Cinnamon is magic. ✨
Cinnamon Toast Crunch ASMR it is!
Like spices, I can't get enough of these stories!
Thank you for referring the portuguese empire in the spice road history, many time forgotten.
Je suis fan absolue de ton travail, je ne peux plus me passer d'asmr pour dormir et l'idée d'apprendre en me plongeant dans l'histoire ou autre c'est passionnant et génial !
Les vidéos en Français me manque un peu !
Bravo et merci !
Listening to this is so cool to me because i can softly drift off to sleep while listening to tales of my country's golden days in the Discovery Age :D i ADORE your videos, much love from Portugal! :)
Your video on the Silk Road was one of the first videos of yours that I ever saw! And one of my favorites!
My first thought seeing the title was ‘the spice must flow”
Dune was such a good book
Hahahhaahhhaahhhahahhah, love those movies.
The spice expands consciousness; the spice extends life; the spice is vital for space travel.
Know then it is the year 10,091...
The sleeper has awakened
16 people got pepper in their eyes and accidentally hit dislike.
@Pelu Pelkar they must have had kids
you are the GOAT of ASMR
but not only that, you are very educated and explain things so very well!
Oh this one looks good! I'll be back this evening ty!
I always learn something from your videos. Thank you for that. By the way, I love your peaceful voice.
Christmas came early! Thank you for the video, my friend.
Best videos on yt. Blending asmr and history to artform. Bonito.
I loved this video! So fascinating about the different trade routes. Thanks as always!
At first I started fact checking these videos. Then I quickly came to trust your accuracy!! I love that I get to learn stuff through your videos.
Very interesting and well put together. Absolutely wonderful!! Thank you. 😊
Happy Thanksgiving 🦃🍁🍽. Thanks for the upload.
So so so grateful I found this channel omg obsessed
I am home sick with the flu and I just discovered you! These are wonderful! I love the way you set the scene with the visuals. And such interesting subject matter...thank you!
welcome, and I hope you're getting better!
Alot of people seem to be confused in the comments, Spicy food (burning by capsaicin) originated from the Americas specifically Mexico not Asia. Black Pepper came from India not to get confused by Chile peppers like the Spicy ones that are Hot and Sweets ones like bell Peppers originated from the Americas
Could you do the history of the slave trade?
so since there is a video on spices... have you done a video on the history of salt before?
Toujours le plus bon! I just love your videos as my post work relaxation
I love your videos, there is always something new to learn
I can’t believe how awesome this is.
Can you do more about Norse Mythology? You can talk about the childeren of Loki, the gifts for the gods, the trip to the world of the Giants (the one with Utgardaloki)
I always fall asleep before I finish!
Great video my friend, you did a superb job as always?
So this is where the Spice Girls got their name from?
Oh TFW! I just love your videos. What a treat to have new content on Thanksgiving. I was wondering the other night while listening to the 100 years war video if you’re a teacher or professor. All your videos have the structure of a lecture. Your vast knowledge on a myriad of topics made me wonder if you were an educator outside of the TH-cam world. What lucky students if you are! 💗 Thanks a million times for your wonderful content. You help this tired momma calm their mind each night with their favorite topics in history and science. 🦃
Thank you! No I'm not a teacher and my background is in economics and political science, so I am just an amateur in everything I talk about. But I like to tell stories and explain things.
I love your videos! Coming back to this one to listen to the rest as I settle in to nap. 💕
I know you tally up requests and I wanted to say I’m really interested in early/mid Chinese history. That’s a giant topic but I’m trying to learn a little at a time so anything would be lovely. 😊
I would love a Portuguese navigator video!
Another amazing video!
Merci beaucoup cher ami!
This guy is the spice in my life.
Thank you so much for another incredible video. You're the best! Can't wait to fall asleep to this.
Thanks so much. This is one of my favorites. Very educational. Actually fought sleep so I could listen to the complete story! 😴
Best stories ever :)
All your videos are always top notch! I really enjoyed this one 🙂
Your videos are awesome. So informative. If only I didn't pass out immediately
You are simply THE BEST!
That's a lovely tableaux.
Lovely. Thank you so much.
Yes sir! Thank you!
Haha thank you for correcting me earlier, I meant Spice Road but typed Silk Road. Too much Thanksgiving celebrating! Hope you have a great evening and a lovely night!
Nathan ASMR checked out your channel man, lots of great content there it seems. Going to dive deeper tonight. Happy thanksgiving and keep up the good work man!
@@hemmerch Scroats thats really kind of you to do that. That means a lot. French Whisperer is one of my biggest and actually the original inspiration to make ASMR for me. I remember waiting years for him to return haha. He's incredibly talented and every video just seems to get better and better! Look forward to seeing you on his next video and thank you again for those kind words about my channel, I really appreciate the support a lot. Have a great weekend and hope you had a lovely Thanksgiving as well!
Missed you!!! What a sweet* surprise topic to find
I absolutely adore your channel. The topics your mellow voice. History has always been one of my favourite subjects. If possible though, in the future could you do a video about Marco Polo?
I like this video.
One factual correction, though: There is still a spice that is worth its weight in gold -- saffron. At least in the USA, saffron costs more than an equivalent weight of 24k gold. Of course, saffron is extremely lightweight, so it is still affordable for most people if they really need it for a recipe.
Thanks for your videos! Appreciate your videos so much
I am a few days late watching this but thank you for the video.
[Settles in. Pours beer. Munches on pork scratching.]
Your videos are awesome.
Love this one. Very informative.
I love your content!
I listened to this while I cooked a spice-y soup! So relaxing
I always wonder how many of your intriguing props come from stuff you already owned and how many are purchased for the purpose of the videos.
it is 90% things I owned, and the same props keep coming back. I buy 1 or 2 things max for each video. For this one I just bought the spices.
Could you do a history of the early christian church? Something like “from Christ’s ascension to Rome’s conversion
@The Reverend Jim Jones That IS generally the response you want for ASMR. :P
Me about to fall asleep : 😴
Ad halfway thru the video :
WE GOT IT AT GARVEY, SO COME SCHEDULE A TEST DRIVE TODAY!
I wonder if people ever ask themselves “ how did I get to a video about spices”
Hello everyone
Hello!
@@sharonbohnenberger7217 👋
Hello too! Or should I say bonsoir?
@@Somnogenesis either, neither or both is fine
Listening to this for the 3rd or 4th time because I still do not know the history of spices... have yet to make it through the whole thing without dozing off lol.
Will watch tonight 😊
Lovely thanks for sharing :)
This should be good
Thank you!!!
Aromatics are very effective in medicine but mostly used in the form of Essential oil.
Fantastic
Salut est-ce que tu pourra la faire en français celle là. C’est tellement plus reposant
So spice
Can I pitch you some ideas?
A History of the slave trade.
The Huizong Emperor.
Irving Berlin.
A history of animation.
Mansur Musa.
All about penguins.
@Python Eric shocking!

Hello guys
Have a great time
I'm not gay but that voice is making me feel a certain way
ah yes... dutchies and spices.. why isnt this video 100% about those 2 :3
I like the version with very soft music in the background, could you please make double versions? Thank you!
Love from canada
I LOVE your videos! But TH-cam isn't a very convenient medium for me. I'd love to see you up on Sticher or Spotify, or something like that :)
Ben Gosse Maybe he can change his entire method so it’s convenient for you. 🙄
@@Jmastaaflex I'm just providing some feedback, I'm not making any demands. I figure if enough people would appreciate an audio-only format hosted on some other platform, it could be to FrenchWhisperer's advantage to look into doing that. I'm really just trying to provide feedback for one of my favourite content creators in a supportive way. Just letting him know that if he were to put up podcast-style videos, I'd be all over them :)
Have a good one Jmastaaflex
I propose we all pitch in as much as we can and buy an island maybe a couple strung together and make Monsiuer Whisperer our constitutional monarch with his main duties being making ASMR videos, and maybe a weekly in person nighttime reading.
It will be the most peaceful ☮️ and calm place in the world and we can make extra islands for tourists who need the best relaxing get away. But yes we build those islands so they don’t accidentally poison our paradise.
Or we can go full cult and set him up as like a god man, idk, post your thoughts here lol 😆 (joking but not entirely, the cult part yes deff jk)

Everybody saying how calm his voice is ..no intonation and boring voice , put me to sleep .
You sound like Mr Sunshine from Saints Row.
