ASMR - History of Petra and Other Underground Cities (Göreme, Derinkuyu, Wieliczka)

Petra, the capital of the Nabataeans (Jordan), Göreme and Derinkuyu in Cappadocia (Turkey), the Wieliczka Salt Mine (Poland): in this ASMR sleep story, I take you to extraordinary troglodyte or subterranean structures, where men projected their ambitions, creativity, dreams and talent for centuries. As usual, I explain the historical context in a soft spoken voice with hand movements and a set of objects for your relaxation.

“Hello everyone....” Blood pressure immediately goes down. 😘

[@Vastatio]

this won't be the last time i say this, but you should pitch a late night ASMR program to the Discovery or History channel. all they play are re-runs so it would be refreshing to see.

[@juanleon1138]

The History channel is now used to dumb people down

[@juanleon1138]

The history channel does not give real info anymore they dont want us to know anything

[@poopingducks]

@@juanleon1138 It's not that they don't want us to know anything. There's no big conspiracy, cable networks don't give a shit one way or the other. It's simply way WAY cheaper to produce reality TV bullshit. You don't have to have pay writers, you don't have to pay actors, you only have a few producers, and a couple editors. So hardly any pre-production, a short production, then average length post-production. All they've done is lower the budget from say 400k to about 35k yet they still get the same amount of views / revenue because people (pre-streaming services) would watch just about anything. Cutting all the quality out of something to make a few people richer, truly the American way.

[@OrochiCr]

Discovery and History are trash, reality(fake) shows have bigger audience and they are way cheaper to produce.

[@Hjortasmr]

History+ASMR is a perfect combination. Subscribed

[@TheFrenchWhispererASMR]

Welcome!

[@verite]

Yes! Another treasure by one of the great wonders of the modern world, The French Whisperer. The thoughtfulnesss and construction put into these videos is like nothing else.

I've been lucky enough to visit Petra and it was absolutely beautiful. The colours in the rocks were gorgeous and walking through the canyon was an experience I wont forget. So interesting to learn about more sites like this!

[@Miladymegan]

My favorite ASMRtist talking about my favorite place?! A dream!

[@YourLordshipBalthazar]

Nothing better than hearing "hello everyone" the first and best asmr cast I listen to

[@tryingtosleep2346]

Thank you for all the time and effort you put down on these videos, I absolutely love these kinds of ASMR videos, they make going to sleep something I look forward to a lot more than before and you make me interested in topics I never even knew existed. If I may suggest a topic, I recently wrote an essay on the Snowball Earth hypothesis (Neoproterozoic Panglaciation), basically a global ice age 600 million years ago, and I found it very interesting, it's still undergoing scientific debate whether it happened or not and in what manner it happened. It feels like something you'd make a video about and it would be really cool to hear you tell a story about it after writing an essay about it! Best wishes from Sweden!

[@sarasmr4278]

I really like it when you remind us to relax at the beginning. Your voice is so amazing. I'm so glad you came back and I really hope you're able to continue and find the success you deserve.

[@TheFrenchWhispererASMR]

Thanks. I'm thinking about spending a bit more time in videos on the call to relax, people seem to like it.

[@VictoriaYvonne]

Me: I’m going to learn something. *hits play* Ten second later: 😴😴

[@oldtimesong]

Imagine having a teacher with this voice on an 8am class.

[@IAmRodyle]

Wonderful as always. Come for the ASMR, stay for the fascinating subjects

[@fatimahsalman4389]

Hey, I'm from Jordan and i really love ur vids 😍

[@wrlk636]

I'm fairly certain it's difficult to fathom how many props are actually on that desk; I do, however, feel incredibly immersed by all that effort. Thank you so much for all of the works you've released! You're so asmr-neutral in the sense that I feel nearly anyone could listen to your videos and get what they're looking for. Well done. I'm going to sleep now but cheers!

[@SecretlyABear1]

I visited the Polish Mines when I was a kid. It was incredible! Thank you for sharing more of the history of the mine. I missed a lot of these details of the location back then.

[@tianamarie3217]

Is knowing historical things a part of what you do for a living outside of KZbin? You must be an interesting man in your regular life! Thank you for all the time spent on these vids. I love history😁

[@nichoyeah]

Always wanted you to talk about this!! And all the other wonders included in Civilization 6 xD

[@TheFrenchWhispererASMR]

I have more coming, it seems Stonehenge is winning the last survey on my community tab.

[@sarasmr4278]

Oh, happiness 💜💜💜

[@Birdinandpo]

Your voice has become a friend of mine. Thank you.

[@Frecks-n-Specks]

Wow! I've tried finding a male asmrtist for awhile & you're amazing. 💕 Thank you so much

[@TheFrenchWhispererASMR]

thand you and welcome

[@Darfail]

These videos are simply amazing. I'm learning something until I pass out.

[@stuartsuperstuff]

What a great topic! I've been to that salt mine, and it was amazing.

[@MaJuliane]

Nothing like clicking on a new video, waiting for that sleepy-voiced "Hello, everyone...".

[@hannahh8696]

Another superb historical subject. In perfect time for bed in an hour or two.

[@simeonbrennan8824]

Long live the ASMR king!

[@TINGLEELF]

I can literally feel my blood pressure lowering ❤️

[@13crystalsister]

What a great surprise! Wasn't expecting a new video so soon. It's too early for sleep, but I can't wait for bedtime. Thank you so much for a new video! I'm certain I will be asleep soon after I begin listening.

[@TheFrenchWhispererASMR]

my previous video was delayed a few days because it was a technical mess, but I have everything planned to put out a new video every ten days, so that's why there was less than a week between this one and the previous one.

[@13crystalsister]

@@TheFrenchWhispererASMR Thank you again. You're the best! Such great content & such a soothing voice to put me to sleep. You are so good at what you do!!

[@day6695]

How could anyone dislike this video?? The accent is perfect along with the same and history! Thank you for these videos! They are a blessing from a legend,and his name is the French whisperer

[@day6695]

Asmr•* not same

[@Dvariak]

I was going to ask if we could ever get a video on the Nabateans but figured it'd be too obscure of a topic to bother asking for. Let's say I'm pleasantly surprised!

[@shady6427]

I didn’t know these existed outside of Indiana jones! Very interesting video btw, I just can’t ever decide to keep listening or let myself doze off😂😂

[@saysHotdogs]

“...to the canyon of the crescent moon” The best thing that you’ve done with your videos is put your hand movements in them. It’s absolutely mesmerizing and perfect 👌

[@hushpigeon]

Thank you for this! Petra has always been a fascinating subject to me, and paired with your voice and explanation, it's perfect!

[@charvos1]

I love these videos, thank you so much for uploading consistently for so long.

[@danielquigley8484]

I never stay awake beyond like 5 minutes for most of your videos because I sleep but when I listen to them while doing other tasks it's so cool to hear the extent of your knowledge on literally everything. Thank you for all these videos.

[@spunj]

Nice!!!! I love you man, amazing videos and I honestly couldn't have looked forward to this type of video any more!

[@kara.kathleen]

Incredibly thankful for this channel 🖤 Thank you for consistently providing high quality content. Keep doing what you're doing my good sir!

[@foreigndaruma9825]

Thank you for this little corner of peace and quiet. I enjoy all of your content, but particularly the history of objects and crafts. Subjects I'd like to see would be, for example, a history of writing instruments, watchmaking or shoemaking. I personally find these things very relaxing, partly because they are simple, but interesting, and work their small magic on a grand scale.

[@evat267]

This channel is a BLESSING. THANK you

[@EllenSmellen]

"hello everyone" is a spell I'm telling you 😴

[@IRLTheGreatZarquon]

"Hello everyone." 66,000 people all relax at the same time

Andddd just found my new favorite channel. Perfect whisper and topics I’m actually interested in 👌🏼🙌🏼

[@TheFrenchWhispererASMR]

welcome!

[@merlijnnelis]

These historical subjects are amazingly well explained, and it is very relaxing. Thank you so much for these video's, Because they help me relax when I'm stressed for studying.

[@TheFrenchWhispererASMR]

thank you!

[@sa.fa.s]

What a combo, learning with a magic voice, learning while extrem relaxing.... great!

[@marcuspearce4519]

Once again, unsurprisingly, you have given us a really in depth, fascinating video. It's so nice to be able to choose to stay awake and listen and watch these videos, or just to drift off. I've done both many times over the years! I still love the minecraft videos, but these history type videos are great to learn from.

[@theworldofgrimstone4867]

My brain: Go to sleep! F.W: Hello everyone Me: This First I like this version of the history channel :)

[@fanciboiz2607]

I love your videos so much, the audio is like 3d in my ears. Your videos are so original and interesting

You've got such a wondefully soothing voice. I love these stories you tell that take us through time and space 😁😁

[@coli_j]

your videos are my medicinal answer to nearly all ailments.

[@missmaryhdream6560]

Hello there beautiful voice, well I stayed awake long enough to hear your history of Petra. Then zonk, I will never know what happened next, I'm falling asleep, the best restful, relaxing, heavenly sleep, thank you ❤ God bless you and keep you safe 💕

[@Faltzerbeast90]

Love this channel so much!! I can learn and then sleep! What else can you ask for?! Thank you so much for doing what you do

Yay, what a nice surprise!! Something to look forward to at bedtime!

This is my favourite cure against both boredom and insomnia.

[@zenwhispers]

Génial!! Je serais bien plus intelligente et informée si j’arriverais à tenir les yeux OUVERTS quand tu parles. Malgré tout, c’est ma chagrin que je n’arrive jamais à la fin de l’histoire, mais ma plaisir de s’sendormir et trouver mes rêves en écoutant une voix si magique et manifique. Merci, et bisoux de l’Amérique.

[@Soul_Tomato]

I have had the pleasure of visiting Petra 3x when I lived there for the better part of a year. Truly a wonderful place and an interesting/welcoming people.

[@nealoade351]

Hey, first time finding your content, I'm a fan of ASMR and a huge lover of learning. You are a most excellent dude, thank you very much for making this kind of content. I look forward to going through the rest of your videos and combining two great passions of mine. Thank you again.

[@TheFrenchWhispererASMR]

thanks you and welcome!

[@kaf890890]

Many thanks, again, for helping me fall asleep and to feel like I got a story, too! I think I even learned something ❤️

I could listen to you reading the phone book. Although your stories are fascinating. Thank you for lulling me to sleep.

Yesss. A brilliant ASMR topic! I’m loving your art direction too- looking down on your desk and scholarly props. So good!

[@jusomebody3069]

I love the history of Petra, all that just for some frankincense and mere'.

[@fideebawa]

I feel so bad; I've watched many of your videos but I can't remember a single one of them. They help me sleep so well that they're actually part of my night routine.

[@TheFrenchWhispererASMR]

No problem, that is also what they are made for.

[@sarasmr4278]

This is one of the ones that are too interesting for me to sleep to. In fact I'm asking questions and pausing the video to Google them 😂 some of them knock me out directly though. The one about the Maya for some reason I don't think I've made it past the first 20 minutes yet, and it can take me hours to fall asleep, which is one reason I love your long videos. I can settle down to learn and be entertained and not stress about whether I'm asleep yet. Sleep has to sneak up on me; it's like the opposite of finding a happy thought. I have to forget about it before it can ambush me. Sorry I'm going on, I am decently medicated as it was a pain day and it's bedtime so yay medicine let's sleep. But not to this or I'll be researching all night. 💜

[@TigerWoodsLibido]

Please do a video about the Indo-European peoples and how they were some of the first to domesticate the horse and their theories about when their languages and various cultures split apart and how we can use genetics and linguistics to prove this.

[@sophieg840]

I don't normally like adverts, but the calm advert introduced you to me. I love the content on your channel. Thank you for being so interesting. And the sexy voice is very relaxing too :)

[@TheFrenchWhispererASMR]

thank you and welcome! I get it regarding ads, there are various companies and brands I actively hate because they have been annoying me for months on KZbin... And now I'm part of the problem with the Calm campaign 🙈

Always been interested in these little cities! Can't wait to go to bed tonight. Oh wait, I'm already there.

So cool!

[@AmberyTear]

Ooo, I've been to Wieliczka in 2012. It was fun.

[@RadicalRice96]

Coober Pedy in South Australia would have also been a fun fit for this! Many people live underground to this day because it's too hot to live on the surface

[@TheFrenchWhispererASMR]

that's right, I have it on a list of possible topics one day (about places where people live in extreme conditions).

[@OliverJazzz]

Just beautiful, as always! ❤️ Thank you! 🙂 One of the many things I especially like in your videos is the slowness of your mesmerizing hand movements - They might be even slower in order to maximize the calming effect!

[@TheFrenchWhispererASMR]

I made one about Mona Lisa years ago - but it was one of my first and the production values are terrible ;).

[@Tiffany.M..]

Can you provide links where you purchase your props?

[@TheFrenchWhispererASMR]

I don't purchase much actually, these are things I grab around my home. For the most part they are gifts, things I bought travelling or when I had an interest in them, and objects I took from my parents' home long ago. The things I buy are either from antique dealers or dollar stores (for example, I bought a bunch of fake glass gemstones recently). So unfortunately I couldn't provide a link...

[@Tiffany.M..]

@@TheFrenchWhispererASMR they are always so beautiful and thoughtfully placed! ❤

[@BluesBewitch]

Finally! I've found someone who combines asmr and interesting stuff like history and space, (watched the solar system one previous to this one) instead of the sound of rubber gloves or blowing on the mic. To each their own but I'm not into that. 👍

Yes. I am not really involved though, they just bought scripts and voice work from me, like they did with many different narrators.

[@Roller_Ghoster]

@@TheFrenchWhispererASMR I thought it was you. I dont subscribe to Calm as I can get what I need from KZbin. I know your very distinctive voice from their ads. Your channel is very original so it's no wonder Calm came to you! Thanks for the reply and I'm now subscribed.

Ok, welcome!

[@ZombieDragQueen]

Since my teens I've been a fan of metal band Darkthrone, and they have a track called "Iconoclasm Sweeps Cappadocia" and this video made me revisit it and google the event. For those interested I found this post on the painted caves of Cappadocia mediaevalmusings.wordpress.com/2012/03/13/the-painted-caves-of-cappadocia/ Also an interesting fact, in Shiite Islam/Muslim communities, images of the prophet Muhammed are not uncommon, let alone forbidden. One can delve into the Persian Muslim iconography and art and find it as aesthetically and technically fascinating as old Christian Orthodox murals.
