El Dorado and the Seven Cities of Gold (ASMR Bedtime Story for Sleep)

In tonight's story, I take you on a historical tour of the myth of El Dorado. I discuss what the early years of the Spanish conquest of America were like, how the encounter between older European legends and the reality of pre-columbian America created new myths about fabulous places, and some of the expeditions that went on a search for El Dorado or the Cities of Gold, to the Andes Mountains, the Amazonian forest or New Mexico.

When I was about 13, I found book at library, The Sleeping Prophet, Edgar Cayce. I'd sleep with school books under my pillow hoping to absorb while sleeping. I don't think it worked, lol, but still find his work fascinating. Maybe you could explore Edgar one day. Just a thought. Thanks for your beautiful work! Calming & Educational! ❤

[@lifeinlofi2809]

honestly if these were a non-asmr podcast, just giving intros to different myths or histories I would still listen to them! the production, research, pronunciation of names (like in the irish myth one) and everything is good

[@FEMINudIST]

The Fall of Civilizations podcast is also excellent. Edited after I realized you weren't necessarily looking for more channels doing stuff like this.

[@lifeinlofi2809]

@@FEMINudIST only saw this but I love fall of civ! Just finished the assyria episode. Fully recommend

[@Julzableful]

I increase the playback speed to make it faster so I can listen to it without being lulled asleep!

[@tavenblack2773]

Such a pleasant surprise to find when you’re already looking for Asmr.

[@meabhmurphy9090]

Maybe the real lost city of gold find was the relaxing videos we found along the way

[@sarasmr4278]

Welcome :) the space ones are my personal favorite but there's quite a lot to choose from!

[@smitty.h1021]

Probably the best channel on this platform, not even of the ASMR category but as a whole. The French whisperer deserves all the love and support for the hard work he puts into not only his KZbin channel but also his Spotify, patreon, etc. Thank you for the well spoken stories. (Also you should do some more Norse videos or some saga tales like Ragnar lothbrok ❤)

[@hannahh8696]

A topic I don't know much about - can't wait to learn more. And by learn more, I mean sort of take some of it in while I fall into the ASMR tingle trance and then jolt awake again when my phone slips from my hand onto my drool covered face.

[@kaarlimakela3413]

Tru dat. 😊

[@savagedanyro]

Beatiful content. As ever. But only 80 like from 600 views :(. People should at least acknowledge the effort and force the algorithm

[@littlevoice_11]

Don't worry. They probably just fell into a grateful peaceful sleep before the end of the video. 😊

[@Soccer333bc]

I don't know how you keep uploading such quality videos that are so well-researched and engaging while also relaxing. You're a legend.

[@hannahl.9614]

Thank you French Whisperer, for consistently creating interesting, soothing, and educational tidbits for us to enjoy as we drift into a calm sleep state. I really am so grateful for the quality content that you bring to my life. I always get a little burst of joy when I see that you've posted a new video because I know I'm in for a treat. Wishing you all the joys and successes in your life and work.

[@popindachopsgaming3726]

If i could make a suggestion, could you do a history of economics? Such as where banks came from and why we as nations do the things we do? Thank you!

Was trying to find an "excuse" to skip some house work and go to bed early... New video from The French Whisperer? Off to bed it is! Thanks for this video, very interesting and relaxing.

Netflix needs to pick you up for a travel show where you globe trot and tell viewers about the history, legends, and myths of the areas you visit. Our small ASMR corner of the planet is purely spoiled with this content; this channel is always next level.

[@Darkwolf1942]

Do you want you sleep or learn? French Whisperer: Both? Both? Both is good! Both!

[@lauriolivier6992]

Thank you

[@rockerscum]

Very relaxing bed time story! Would be lovely if you covered the history of the 18th century fur trade in Canada!

[@obcl8569]

Mom ami, another treasure from you & as always at the perfect time. Hope you are well, many of us are made better by your work. I hope that lifts your spirits & inspires you. Until next time friend, off to enjoy some history and relaxing curiosities that will inevitably carry me into deep, restful sleep as always 🥱😴💤🛌🤍💙

[@littlevoice_11]

I wonder if you plan to share any of your fantastic creation mythology stories from the Amazonian cultures and South America? Your Greek, Egyptian, Hindu and Native American were amazing. I've listened to them countless times and am still so grateful. Thank you

Hey French Whisperer, Thanks a lot for making these types of videos. I am quite restless at night, but I pull out the big guns to go to sleep. >.> your videos. 5-15 minutes later......zzzzzz

Lovely story as always, thank you for your wonderful work on these stories! After listening to this, I wonder if maybe a future story topic could be about the Portuguese explorers and their ventures? My husband’s heritage is Azorian Portuguese, but I have not heard the story about how the Portuguese people came to the Azores. Seems interesting!😊

[@sherlockholmes112]

Your videos are so amazing, I feel really grateful such a cool channel exists. I love history and mythology, urban legends, all that good stuff and having a channel full of videos that are all an hour or even two hours or more long is incredible. Even if you weren’t an asmr channel I’d love listening, but add that on top and it means I get to sleep well too

[@Faltzerbeast90]

Although I seldom watch the actual the videos since it's at nighttime. I pass out learning a lot of stuff

Anyone remember watching this animated story on nickelodeon around 1987?

[@aliviamcdaniels7414]

What story was it? If you’re thinking of an animated movie about El Dorado,than u are probably thinking of The Road To El Dorado produced by DreamWorks( they made Shrek,Spirit,How To Train Your Dragon,Etc.)

If Mr Duck won’t do it then I will: Hallo 😌

It reminds me of Salgari's adventure novel.❤ Btw what mineral is that?

In reality six of the Seven Cities of Gold have been found even today the Golden City of El Doado still waits to be found in my eyes when i see entire Mezo American empires of gold are mine and my full blooded incan friend Alexzandro Querevalo gave me the Southern Incan Empire and its golden treasures while he has the Northern Incan Empire and all it Golden Treasures i love gold and stories of cities or empires of gold becuse i see money when i see gold 😊😊
