i'm a japanese university student who majors in Arabic and have learned Hebrew alphabets and Ancient South Arabian alphabets. this video was very very interesting to me.

[@ASMRctica]

So happy to hear that! Glad you enjoy :D

[@pardonjoon8835]

what can this major be used for? like jobs (not attacking just curious)

[@0hKay]

@@pardonjoon8835 Most likely communication studies, interational finance & law, education, or translation... I have a friend who majors in Spanish and those are the most common uses of language studies

[@sarahthesarah2850]

Thank you for making this. It is something I am curious about yet soothing enough to help me unwind before bed. The sounds you craft with the wax tablets, the scribe tool and your voice are very relaxing and tingly. The history around ancient writing systems is quite fascinating.

[@ASMRctica]

Thanks for super nice comment :) So glad to hear you enjoy all those sounds and the video and the topic :)

I was not expecting the alphabet to be exactly the Hebrew alphabet but with mostly different shaped letters. Guess I know where that came from now haha

Just found your channel and the intro alone blew me away😮❤️so creative!!

[@ASMRctica]

Thank you so much for the nice compliment! So glad to hear you like it :D

[@tarastreasure]

As a language and foreign cultures lover, I find both your maps drawing and alphabet writing so, sooo interesting. Your explanations are very informative, I love learning all the time, and your voice is very soothing. My most recent interest is hindi language and, of course, devanagari alphabet (which is actually an alphasyllabary - based on syllables, not letters). Would be great if you could scribble that, sometime in the future. (I did look on the channel for this and didn't find it, apologies if I missed it). But I am watching your channel anyway! Congrats, you put in a lotof hard work. 🍀

[@Anthony-yo6he]

I just rewatched the Egyptian wax tablet carving the other day. I can’t wait to watch this one tonight

[@ASMRctica]

Thanks for watching and for great support! Hope you'll enjoy :D

[@mackiexoxo8193]

I'm not quite sure why I clicked on the video at first given that it's too early to go to bed and the sun has just set, but I'm very glad I did. Your voice is very relaxing and it was a very interesting topic! :)

[@Sophia-bm9ch]

I'm just always mesmerized by your videos. There's something about your voice too that just puts me at ease. Kind of reminds me of my dentist actually since he sounds the same and keeps talking while doing his work.

[@ASMRctica]

Haha, yeah I can imagine it can be relaxing to hear your dentist talk :) Thanks! So glad to hear you like my content :D

This was super relaxing! I've been stressed af lately because of finals and what (might be?) an asthma flareup so this was great to wind down to.

[@kaylaruffini7406]

I really like that he linked the tutorial video in the bio. Instead of making a redundant video, he gives credit to the person who made the tutorial he watched. I just feel like that doesn’t happen much anymore, everyone has to make their own video, even if there’s nothing they’re adding.

[@Wiiilmagiiirl]

Wow, en svensk stor ASMR-artist!! 😍 så roligt & grattis till en sådan stor plattform! Det är du väl värd. En stor guldstjärna till dig för din kreativitet ⭐️ En mycket avslappnade video som dessutom är väldigt intressant 🤗 Ha de bäst! God jul & gott nytt år! ❄️🎅

This is so fascinating! Your videos have the perfect blend of intrigue and tingles. I always learn something new and interesting, while feeling totally relaxed! High-quality content. 💕 Do you have to press really hard with the pencil to write in the wax, or is it relatively soft?

[@ASMRctica]

Thanks for the feedback! That's great! Love to hear tyhat you both feel relaxed and learn something new. Hmm, I would probably not need to press very hard to write on the wax, but I guess I want to be sure it's going to be visible, so maybe I'm pressing harder in the video than I would need to do.
