ASMR - History of the Vikings

Hello,
the Vikings won the poll I had organized, so here you are! In this video I talk about who the Vikings were, how their expansion took place, and what remains of their heritage today. With a special "hej" to my subscribers in Norway, Sweden and Denmark!

[@seanmichael3737]

This guy is awesome, not only does he take the time time to upload these vids, he's responded to almost every comment.

[@TheFrenchWhispererASMR]

Thanks but now I feel obliged to respond to yours too, and I find nothing to say ;)

[@Wolvieonepunch]

Yah he's awesome man, I'm so glad I came across him awhile back, not to mention all the cool history he drops on us as well

[@BrendanCFontaine]

I've determined that there's nothing better to fall asleep to than your videos. So long as they remain based on fact and historically accurate, I'm getting a very relaxing history & science lesson. Thank you.

[@TheFrenchWhispererASMR]

Thank you very much. You are not at risk of hearing about unprovable things here (like esoterical stuff, conspiracy theories or alternative therapies). People may believe in what they want, but I do not support any of this. When it comes to history videos, I try to only tell things I am sure of, that look reasonnably credible, and that can be checked - especially to avoid spreading these historical urban legends that people keep telling even when they have been proved wrong. But I am just an amateur and I cannot guarantee every detail is perfectly accurate. As always when it comes to history, looking at various sources is crucial if you want to approach the truth.

[@austinsurge]

I cannot tell you how much I appreciate your Relaxing History series. You are absolutely awesome. Thank you for dedicating so much time to making these -- these are one of my favorite parts of my day.

[@TheFrenchWhispererASMR]

Thanks a lot, I love that kind of feedbacks!

[@Jomb3]

I just found your videos and I'm so excited. So interesting topics and asmr at the same time! Hei from Finland.

Your videos are always so interesting and I want to learn more about the subjects, but I can never finish the story.. I always fall asleep halfway through!

[@Debbie338]

I have listened to this several times while waiting for you to come back. As much as I love all your previous videos, I am very glad you're back with new ones.

Thank you for your videos. I have nighttime anxiety and your voice helps me relax and get through so I can sleep.

[@andrea444healing7]

Why have I only just found The French Whisperer! I've been listening to various asmr videos four 4 years, and I have never heard of you. Your videos are exactly what I enjoy. Learning, whilst relaxing. Perfect!! Thankyou

[@TheFrenchWhispererASMR]

Welcome then! I went on a hiatus about when you started watching asmr videos and returned this year, this maybe why (or maybe just because my channel is not that big 😅 )

[@tikster67]

merci for all your time and effort producing these videos. The combination of your hypnotizing voice with interesting content, keeps my mind focused until I drift into a slumber. I have been listening to whisper videos since whisperinglife days but you have nailed it! ! perfection 😴

[@TheFrenchWhispererASMR]

+tikster67 thanks, I appreciate it!

[@immortan-valkyrie90]

I had just finished watching the latest episode of the tv series "Vikings" when I saw this on my KZbin feed lol perfect timing!

[@darkmasterchief227]

Can't wait til tomorrow, season 3!! Woop woop!

[@robertterrell3065]

Learning interesting history and experiencing the head tingles and ASMR trance at the same time :) I'm so glad I found your page!

[@TheFrenchWhispererASMR]

Thank you and welcome!

[@tauceti8341]

Awesome. I can't wait to watch this tonight.

[@shelbycobra78]

I've been off all week recovering from a medical procedure, and your videos have totally relaxed me. Not only are they relaxing, but so interesting. Thank you so much for making these.

[@TheFrenchWhispererASMR]

shelbycobra78 Thank you for commenting, I am glad my videos helped you feel good!

[@mkiii1447]

I still come back here. This is better than any ASMR out there.

[@kivawyandotte6941]

I enjoy every one of these videos, restful and interesting.

[@tomasbarrionuevo8439]

This is great. Greetings from Argentina. Im still watching this in 2018

[@onefordespair]

Please do a longer one on this subject! Love ya!

[@divergent4926]

I recently was studying my family and have long been aware my family is of Celtic and Germanic descent. Recently, I wanted to learn about the Norse since I am aware my family was apart of the expedition to Iceland, and this is an amazing video.

[@pvtrichardsonbr]

vikings is my favorite show !

[@shaneybot3031]

lol same

[@nolanwitt735]

Hei! I'm VERY Norwegian, even though I personally am not from there. Thank You for the video, I had to re-watch this, it was so relaxing I fell asleep! :)

[@abeedhal6519]

so you are not lol

[@bryanfaith3326]

+Nack Jicholson i think he means by ethnicity not by nationality

[@abeedhal6519]

yea makes no sense, probably murican *****

[@camme1272]

Okej, to define one as à nationality, is, know the language, LOVE the country, have lived there for at least 60 percent of your life

[@Aydrenn]

The manliest kind of bedtime story lmao

[@WilliBond0007]

Another great history video. Thank you so much.

[@TheFrenchWhispererASMR]

Glad you like it, thanks!

[@procast1751]

My grandma moved to the U.S. When my mother was about 3, so I speak Norwegian, but very little. As I recall, didn't the Vikings discover America before anybody else?

[@mrme9347]

Yes Erik the Red was the first to discover america

[@shaneybot3031]

wasn't it Leif Eeikson who discovered north america, Erik the red was his father?

[@SarahBevElizabeth]

If you don't count the aboriginals. But no matter what it's interesting to learn about!

[@shaneybot3031]

SarahBevElizabeth you're right, dont forget about the natives soz

[@crazymilla7604]

Good ASMR video! :) i'm from denmark.

[@TheFireworksmaster99]

🇸🇪

[@DB-ny9xw]

Iceland the best vikings 🇮🇸🇮🇸

[@Joeden88]

Danmark er et smukt land og havde klart de bedste vikinger :)

[@NightWLKR1]

An updated version of this would be cool

[@ragismundbjornansson8347]

I just wanna say that the "Vikings" were not a people. The Scandinavian people who went on Viking raids were mainly the Danes, but also the Sveas and the Norsemen (and the Geats, who kinda were like a mixture of the Danes and the Sveas).

[@kennyerase1109]

Did not know there were different breads of people 🧐

[@maries6530]

Thanks so much.... Awesome.

[@theWhispergames]

Hej from Sweden :) Oh my gosh, your voice is awesome! I can't believe I haven't found your channel before. I really like the concept of history + ASMR. I learned some new things about the vikings today and I look forward to learning more things from your other videos whilst tingling. :)

[@TheFrenchWhispererASMR]

theWhispergames glad you like it, and welcome then!

[@davidpasta5710]

Svennejävel

[@eliasgustafsson5889]

David Pasta är du gjord av pasta eller jävla pasta jävel fyfan lol

[@Mgopro]

You should consider an ASMR video about Zheng He, a powerful court eunuch from the Ming Dynasty.

[@stameteam1469]

6:48 this is a church made in 1300- in Norwey, have been there by my self , haha

[@nickjrgensen4076]

[@HANCHANs]

[@neilsonsarify]

[@TheFrenchWhispererASMR]

Hej, tak!

[@neilsonsarify]

[@vipstar90]

+IPiminov it means "thanks" :)

[@ilya_rusin]

Rikke Hansen tak-tak)))

[@Samuel-cb8wz]

Amazing channel

[@margritmariemanning-steffe9395]

pardon me----it`s Marie---- the Vikings had one of their first, anyway their then largest settlement in Haithabu (English say: Hedeby)---and Haithabu was more than less part of the old (cathedral) town of Schleswig ...the town in what is nowadays "Angeln'", it is the side of Schleswig-Holstein at the Baltic Sea...once one said "Angeland"...from there the Vikings (after quite some "interbreeding", not any barbaric violence, at least no brutal raping...seemed to have been a mutual attraction... between the Sliaswik=Schleswig population and the Vikings...who from there sailed with their, for that time, technically fascinating boats (e.g. the Nydam-boat ...which is an exhibit in the museum attached to the castle of Gottorf--- where I met Hamlet... okay, am not sure about that - but sure is that they sailed and invaded this lovely green island...(by the way: after a bit of slaughtering...they got on very nicely with the people (pretty mixed anyhow) )...and the name Angeland...Engeland...England So: was borne in Schleswig... and loved to play, before tourism started to conquer..., where the Viking settlement had left nothing much but traces, interesting for archaeologists etc., but I was a little girl and just pretty happily roamed Viking land (guess, I have got quite a lot of DNA/genes of, after all, my ancestors---I bet!!!---- Angelanders and Vikings!) sorry, am too tired to edit, accidentals so are possible but not in no way disrespectful! Nitenite, Marie (Sad-eyed Lady from the Lowlands)

[@vinconkstudios]

I’m from Sweden and the funny thing is my name is also Viking

[@BradsPitts.]

Coming back to this after watching The Northman haha

[@matthijs6404]

Can u do another story about the Vikings? Think it s very interessting

[@Fjordur_]

Hmm uh a "Gerandisdagurin í Víkingaøld bookmark" from Faroe Islands never seen that before :P And Norway, Sweden and Denmark were not the only Viking's. Norway came to Island and to Faroe Islands and the viking's still live there ;)

[@ilya_rusin]

He forget to mention Ushkuniki, they were Russian "vikings" who robbed Baltic and Scandinavian countries.

[@bradoberg2503]

you should do one on the great heathen army

[@MrDestructionFUN]

Interesting

[@DB-ny9xw]

Vikings were in Iceland during the 8th century

[@OhBombii]

D B True, I’m pretty sure they sent slaves there, I might of seen something wrong but idk

[@zzcreedxx]

Did you do a Nordic mythology bedtime story?

[@bronumero7334]

I might be late. But damn I love your voice.

[@wildnwoods7686]

I sore i found one on Norse mythology by him i can't find it anymore did something happen to that video

[@TheFrenchWhispererASMR]

It has been blocked in the US, I posted about that and the alternatives to listen to it on the community tab of my channel

[@scarletspeed7]

I actually want a Horsewomen vs. Horsewoman vs. Horsewomen match. Get Rousey's gang vs. Charlotte's gang vs. a group of women on horses who trample both groups.

[@900Hotch]

Hei! I am from Norway!

[@TheFrenchWhispererASMR]

Hei!

[@jbro8934]

Pouring my stein of Mead now..

[@lecoureurdesbois86]

Bon anglais, intéressant, voix relaxante... +1, du Québec pas encore libre ⚜

[@arkel9]

awesome man, im from sweden myself. why do you talk with so low voice?

[@TheFrenchWhispererASMR]

Thanks! The slow/soft voice is intentional: this is an ASMR video. Google can tell you more about ASMR if you wish, and if you want to give it a try there are thousands of videos on youtube waiting for you. People generally use headsets to listen to them and if they are receptive to ASMR, these videos may induce pleasurable physical tingles and/or help them to fall asleep.

[@arkel9]

yeah deffinetly, thanks. keep up to good work :D

[@100pennys6]

😴😩 please come back and make more videos

[@Nico-id3tp]

im denmark #go vikings

[@huntersmith8586]

I'm sorry, is this a video about the most metal people in the worlds history meant to calm me down?

[@thetrueamerican6977]

Ahhhhhh yes my country🇳🇴🇳🇴

[@joshuajwars4271]

Robert that was awesome when you are discussing about the Vikings the Vikings of Sweden explored and arrived in Rus (modern day Russia) then explored south once they did the Byzantines (present day parts of Greece & western Turkey) served with Emperors under Emperor's new name Varangian Guard acting as mercenaries perfect for hacking Arabs and defending Constantinople (present day Istanbul, Turkey) while the Western parts led by Norway & Denmark under 2 kings Cnut the Great & Harald 3 Hard Ruler Sigurdsson while Sigurd 1 the Crusader Magnusson participated in the Reconquest along with Spanish knights to kick out the Arabs from years 1107 until returning home by land in around 1111 please reply?

[@klaasdeceuster6269]

hey french whisperer

[@DB-ny9xw]

100th comment 🇮🇸🇮🇸🇮🇸

[@bradoberg2503]

I'm sweedish and my ancestors were vikings and chieftains.

[@pyrrhocratic]

tfw when you wont say "hei" to your subscribers from Iceland

[@tumak1]

Nice presentation. Christianism is better phrased Christianity. Ukrainians are not a subset of Russians. Both have roots to the Rus. Cheers

[@blackstar32154]

A Frenchman. Telling me about my people's history. You forget what we did to Paris?

[@OhBombii]

Sentus Raven Did you forget that us English killed all of your asses and Alfred whooped all of your earls out, and we could raid you any day as our population is 10x yours

[@andrewsapia]

The Church built Western European Civilization. It is beyond debate that Christianity more than any other factor is responsible for the civilization that rose from the ashes of Greece and Rome to create a totally new synthesis what we call Western Civilization. Science, the university system, the great art that permeated every discipline in the west from painting to architecture the Christian Church and its patronage created all of those things that tourists by the millions come to Europe to see. I totally get secularism and the great benefits that have accrued to us via the separation of church and state but this total rejection and even demonization of Europe's Christian past and heritage is shameful, harmful to the education of the young and intellectually dishonest and has had a very negative effect on the quality of education in the west today. I love history, it amazes me what passes for education today. There was a time a century ago when the average 6th grader still took Latin in public schools. Europe was putting out geniuses by the millions. These are the people who built the modern world, who made countless scientific advances and invented technologies exponentially. It blows my mind the difference in quality of educational outcomes today. The death of theology and philosophy which was at the heart of the liberal arts education was the death of creativity in Western Peoples.
