[ASMR] 1905 Atlas of the World (Soft Spoken)

Have a look at the world of just over 100 years ago!
I bought this little atlas on eBay to have a look at how the world used to be. In this atlas Austria-Hungary is still an empire. Africa is split up according to the European empires. Explore the world of your grandparents and great grandparents.

9:05: the "Kong Mountains" just east of Sierra Leone are completely fictional. Interesting story: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mountains_of_Kong

[@TheWhisperCorner]

Thanks for that. Interesting indeed.

[@ASMRctica]

this atlas looks SO nice! And the video is just perfect! a new favourite asmr video- thanks for making this one!

[@TheWhisperCorner]

I'm glad you liked it. Never had a video reach 1000 views so quickly so I must have done something right.

[@lyubenlozanov6471]

Hey asmrctica

[@barryjive1104]

Kinda puts me on edge seeing the business end of a pencil being used as a pointer on such an old book

[@TheWhisperCorner]

Yeah, I realise now that wasn't the best idea but it's in a safe location for another 100 years.

[@paulm.6818]

This is one of the best ASMR videos on all of KZbin.

[@TheWhisperCorner]

Thanks very much!

[@GaslampASMR]

That little atlas is amazing! Love it.

[@TheWhisperCorner]

Yep. A fascinating little trip through history.

[@NathanASMR]

man this is one of your best videos right here. I dont know how I didn't see this until now. Literally using this for bedtime right now. Loved the look of those pages and just imagining the world in 1905...recognizable but still so different. Loved the Mellin's Food ads as well. This video is a true treasure man. Thanks Kevin. Really looking forward to seeing your part in The French Whisperer Collab as well.

[@TheWhisperCorner]

Thanks Nathan. That's nice to hear. I haven't made anything for a while and feel my channel has died. I hope you're keeping well. You're bound to be better than Spurs anyway.

[@NathanASMR]

@@TheWhisperCorner Sometimes we all need a break so we can rethink things. Its been a difficult year and even I took off for about 4 months there. Yeah even an MLS team might be better than the Spurs right now LOL. But yeah I definitely see a lot of creators taking time away and just enjoying life for awhile. Making videos is really time consuming thats to say the least. Well anyway I have always thought your channel is great and decided to check back on some of the classics. Map videos are always a win in my book haha. Enjoy the weekend man and see you at the french whisperer video!

[@jackofspades3982]

From Belfast myself, love your voice. It makes me feel so relaxed. Keep up the good work :)

[@TheWhisperCorner]

Thanks very much.

[@jngaio]

Oh god I love your soft spoken videos they help me sleep so much. Thank you.

[@furlonggg1]

I feel like I'm more prepared for a geography category during double jeopardy now, thank you !

[@Dean__2023]

Just found your channel. Immediate big fan ha - accent is a blinder and looove the atlas/map type content. Subbed from Yorkshire 👍🏼

[@TheWhisperCorner]

Thanks very much!

[@wretched8195]

Do you think you can make a video reading all the "Mellin's food" reads in the atlas?

[@TheWhisperCorner]

I'll have a look at it. No problem.

[@bowiesinspace7152]

I’m surprised how many small towns in Australia made it on there e.g. Camperdown, Donald and sale

[@Dvariak]

I’m a little sad how quick you got past Australia, was hoping you’d notice some of the more unique names like Wagga Wagga! Oh well, great video anyways!

[@TheWhisperCorner]

Katawa Shoubro To be honest I skipped past a lot of countries because the font was so small and I was quite far away. When I do Australia in my "Maps of the World" series I'll spend a lot longer on it.

[@rosskelly4618]

Awesome

[@TheWhisperCorner]

Cheers!

[@sweetnawesome23]

I really preferred the old mic, there's a lot of white noise in the background in your latest vids. Love what you do though! x

[@TheWhisperCorner]

sweetnawesome23 Well this is the old mic. Yeti is a doorstop.

[@aidanmoran12]

Laois and Offaly were Queen and Kings Counties I think

[@TheWhisperCorner]

Interesting. I'll have to look up why.

[@SleepyWavves]

How foment don't use the yet I? I do love this mic though

[@TheWhisperCorner]

SleepyWavves Picks up too much noise. Don't know what I'm doing. Makes a nice doorstop.

[@m.4295]

My man has hands of a 50 year old but his voice is like he 15 or somethin but still nice vid

[@Ekan0208]

How do you shoot your videos?

[@TheWhisperCorner]

Canon Cybershot, Joby Tripod, make stuff up.

[@mattandrews2594]

Missed opportunity for a 'This Is Sparta' gag at the Greece page methinks

[@janeh8267]

Jamie Dornan?!

[@TheWhisperCorner]

His fat cousin.
