ASMR - 3.5 Hours History of Ancient Rome (8th Century BC - 1453 AD)
This long soft spoken sleep story tells you the history of Ancient Rome from its foundation to the fall of Constantinople. It is in 3 parts.
In part 1, I tell you about the origins of Rome, its slow emergence and wars until the 1st Century BC - including the founding of the Republic and the rivalry between the Senate and the plebs, the conquest of Italy, the wars against Carthage, the overseas expansion, figures like Scipio, Marius, Sulla, Pompey and Caesar, and also life, religion, society, urbanism and warfare in Roman antiquity.
In part 2, we go through the campaigns of Caesar, the transformation into an Empire under Augustus, the succession of emperors and the challenges they had to face, as well as the rise and persecution of Christianism until the new religion was adopted, the Roman economy, barbarian invasions, the separation of the empire into two parts and the final collapse of the Western Roman Empire in 476 AD.
In part 3, I take you to the mythical city of Constantinople to explore the history of the Byzantine Empire. As the Western Roman Empire collapsed under invasions, its Eastern counterpart lived on and perpetuated the dream of recreating the Roman Empire during the Middle Ages. This is the story I tell you in this video: I discuss the waves of invaders that Byzantine had to face, from the Huns and the Arabs to the Turks, its culture, politics and society, how it drifted away from the west religiously, leading to the East-West Schism between Roman Catholicism and Eastern Orthodoxy, and many more things, until the final fall of Constantinople in 1453 AD.

Never heard of this channel before wonder ho- "Hello everyone" Welp. I'm here to stay.
I got stuck here just like you
Me too. I was asleep in 20 minutes.
FUCKING SAME
The rumble in his voice on that "hello everyone" I had no chance of surviving
Lmaooo same thing happened to me just now
You released this video March 15, The Ides of March. Rip Caesar
The traitors may have destroyed my body but they could never erase my legacy. In fact their treasonous actions only served to immortalize me in the hearts of men for all times.
hahahaha

@@donniecapobianco8794 lmao nice
It just suddenly struck me to realize (after listening to your 2nd long video) just how incredibly difficult for someone to speak several hours nonstop without a single "huh, um, ah". You're amazing!
Wrong. At 1:13:17 he says, “uh”. Unsubbing! 😉
Good catch, I’m surprised that you didn’t fall asleep already by then. I find his voice also comforting to listen during day time reading or studying.
Its called EDITING
@@DanielSwartfiguer then his works are top notch pro, and I appreciated it very much.
Hey Hey
Talking for almost 4 hours nonstop, if that's not dedication then I don't know what is. Plus, very informative. My two interests blended together: ASMR+HISTORY ❤️❤️❤️
@rancid crawfish yeah, that's relatable 😂
Very. I love it. Hungry brain!

One of the most soothing deep voices out there in soft spoken asmr... Always eager to learn.
Like a French Morgan Freeman.

You ever have that eureka moment with a new channel? Mine was the moment this man started talking
welcome!
As a documentary specific asmr nerd, to find you in 2021: you are a life savor and words cannot express the last 3 days of a soothing man’s voice that comes close to my late father level of soothing. I’m 30 and your voice sends me back to my childhood of my father reading history books to me. Thank you for your work💓💓💓
Thanks and welcome!
I'm a Classicist and historian and a huge ASMR fan so this video is absolutely ideal for me! Thank you!
This virus is the perfect excuse for an ASMR video to put me into a four month coma.
Make it a couple years
Make it 4 years, especially if you know who wins (by cheating) in November.

Hahaha. Hahahahahaha. Ahahahahahahahahahahahaha. *sobs in lives in England*
Thanking you in advance. I will be listening tonight. I soooo need a calm voice during these crazy times. You are a God-sent. Thank you.
The perfect asmr video doesn't exis-
Found you during COVID19, and now "hello everyone" is like a tranquilizer. Thank you so much!!
Social distancing here we come. Jokes aside, thank you my good Sir. Stay safe people. Don't let fear rule over you; instead let's have compassion for our fellow man.
well said.
Yes let's hope this awful virus can bring us together instead of the greed and selfishness we are now seeing.
So so true. I hope you all are doing well these days! My personal opinion, we have to stay strong for each other, take the chance to meditate about life and our desired path. Big up!!
@@boomerhgt it brings People together mecause we appreciate being together even More :)
That would have been nice wouldn't it? 💜☮
I had a really bad night last night trying to sleep. Every time I woke up I turned this on and I fell back asleep. THAT IS RARE. Wow, thank you so much.
This is very cool. Thank you for putting this together for us. As we quarantine in San Diego, I look forward to playing this in the background and learning at a deeper level. You rock! Hope all is well for you and your family in Santiago.
Debbie Bermudez Quarantining up in Fresno in an effort to protect the elders. California love, we’ll get through this.
Thanks, not yet in quarantine here but it's a matter of days before everything shuts down. Take care!
I'm in quarantine too...for three weeks now😭 thanks for these videos🥰
Thank you for this video! I can't sleep right now, but your voice always helps. Puerto Rico is in quarantine, so this really soothes my anxiety and helps me sleep when I can't sleep. (I normally sleep a lot, but, with this pandemic of COVID-19, I haven't been able to.)
Greetings to the quarantined fellows all over the world from Italy. 🙋 Stay safe, stay at home.☺
Curently in quarantine in France im glad to learn while waiting for better times, thx for this vidéo 🤗
Bon courage!
Would you say that France is now experiencing better times, or not?
1 year later :(
@@geezermann7865 I can’t speak for Vincent but at least for me, my friends, and loved ones ;) things aren’t really better, we feel exhausted. At least, last year we still had hope but now l feel like we are more apathetic than before, every day starts to feel the same, and it all feels like a blur 😃 what about you ?
@@TheFrenchWhispererASMR Merci pour tout votre travail acharné.
Are you kidding me. A French man, speaking english and whispering? A dream come true.💖💖
How do you even downvote ANY of the French Whisperer's videos!? Your channel is hands-down, no-contest one of the BEST overall channels on KZhead. Certainly #1 for sleep stories and ASMR. Each one of your videos is a spectacular adventure that I'm honored to listen to. Thank you for your videos!
You succesfully cured my insomnia, theres something in your voice that helps me sleep instantly, thank you, you have no idea how much it changed my everyday life
You always post these in perfect time for bed here in Scotland. Thank you so much; I can't wait to listen to you discuss one of my favourite areas of history. It'll probably take me a couple of weeks to finish as I always fall asleep so quickly! Your hand movements are super relaxing and ASMR-tingly, as always.
Well you probably already heard most of it; I just recorded a new intro and cut a few minutes from each video so that it feels like a single story. Hope you like it though!
The French Whisperer ASMR I'm definitely looking forward to hearing it cut like this. What I've heard so far on the separate parts has been excellent. Thank you.
I‘ve finally found my obsession on KZhead. Perfectly packaged for me😁: ancient civilizations and asmr💜
Welcome!
God this guys voice is by far the most badass one I have heard in my life
my cat loves your voice...whenever shes restless or has anxiety i play one of ur videos n it calms her down..ur an asmr wizard
This channel is an absolute treasure
I've listened to the audio version of SPQR by Mary Beard 3 times, its 18hrs long so I've got the stamina for this kind of roman history content.
Mary Beard is the best!
Im curious. I can look it up. But its worth the read?
I’m impressed
I love all three of these series and am grateful you made this combination. Thanks for all you do to help keep us calm and relaxed. ✌🏻
1:59:42 - "At least he was not paranoid or insane." That's looking on the bright side!
"Well, at least he wasn't trump." Simplified version. 😅
This, and all your videos are so amazing. I can’t imagine the work that goes into making them. Thank you doesn’t seem enough, but thank you!
... ...... .........
😪😦🤣
.....
Not only is this video amazing but just take a moment to appreciate how smart this man is. He can retell history which is no easy task when done in such detail.
The technology and engineers of those ages was incredible
You are an artist. It's incredible. Thank you, Sir
History has never sounded so sensual.
Wait till you find out about ancient greece...
WOW, i just found you... but you were exactly what I was looking for
Your voice is perfect for doing homework to! Soft enough to not take over when I read, but it still resonates with your voice so it stimulates me and keeps me focused. You're a true force multiplier
I really appreciate how you include hand movements in your ASMR. The visual triggers really help my immersion. Thank you !
i love your voice man it's soo soothing and ur accent is great, also i love history and your asmr videos are very interesting the way you tell the tales of a certain topic is really engaging but also very relaxing.
Your videos are the perfect combination between asmr and history. I highly recommend it. Thank you!
Thank you for creating such an immersive experience with your ASMR storytelling. The history of Ancient Rome has never been more engaging. Your voice and the visuals make it a magical journey through time.
I’m such a nerd for Ancient Greek and Rome history I’m currently studying that and ASMR about it oh boy I’m going to be taking notes rather then sleeping haha 👍🏽
Incredible. The depth of your research is amazing. Congratulations on such a well researched subject

Been listening to your videos for maybe half a year now. Was never really super into history but now i'm constantly looking for more quality history videos like yours! You introduced me to a passion a never knew I had. Love all your vids and always been into space!
Incredible. Ur depth of knowledge is just incredible. Don’t know how u do it.
Always great when the French master uploads! 😄 Love from the UK! 👍
*Napoleon dislikes this comment
@@stormboyo1776 Which Napoleon?
@@Antonio-us1ys um the French commander?
@@stormboyo1776 I know, just joking around about how there are multiple Napoleons after him. Napoleon III actually ruled France for a short time, and I'm really just joking about naming conventions
@@Antonio-us1ys I know lol
I never thought I could learn so much about Ancient Rome while relaxing so deeply. The narration is tranquil and the historical content is rich and engaging. A fantastic educational experience. Thank you!
You deserve a million subscribers. As someone who only falls asleep to soft spoken videos and can’t get on board with the tapping/crinkling stuff, your channel is ALWAYS perfect. Would love to see some cooking videos, biology and flowers, the world of insects, psychology & philosophy Keep up the great work.
Now this is quality... needs more subs and views
You always have the most incredibly educational ASMR videos and I appreciate it very much!
Has anyone ever told you that your hand movements are the most relaxing and comforting thing to watch? I legitimately love the "entertainment" between the picture slides. Lol
Finding this channel is the greatest thing that’s ever happened in history
In the craziness of the world right now there is nothing more soothing than a fantastic 3.5hr French Whisperer video. One of the best things we can turn to is History. It is the only way to not repeat the mistakes of the past! PS Rome is my favorite historical time period, you heard my plea!!
The man just seems to know when tension and anxiety are high. Nothing like his videos to calm a busy mind. Helps you relax and you learn at the same time ! Thanks again ! If loving these videos is wrong I don’t want to be right !!! 🤣
I appreciate you putting all of them together for one long video!!
Powerful storytelling, great job. Having Italian roots I've always wanted to visit Rome but have not quite made it there yet in physical form. Thank you for taking us there through the art of storytelling.
Ever since visiting France (my first time visiting another country!), I have missed the French language and/or accent. It was wonderful, and hearing it in ASMR form AND in historical/science/astronomy forms is the best I could ask for 😊 Greetings from America. Thank you and stay safe!
I don't know this channel really but as a brief visitor I love his voice. I would dearly love his stories to be accompanied by background music/ambience. I would gladly listen regularly.
I'm honestly only here to hear this man talk. That's it. Just to listen to his voice. My man is the only reason I passed my world history exam. Which is a bonus.
amazing this something i think a lot of needed right now
I love how detailed and well structured this video is! Not only is it long, interesting, and well researched, but the narration is so soothing (: perfect recipe
Ad blockers are the way. Now I can finally sleep soundly. Thank you for this.
This is the first time I've watched one of this channel's videos. My god, this man's voice/intonation is IMPECCABLE. Simply amazing. Also!!! Extensive timestamps for a 3.5+ hrs long video? Top notch production.
My top 5 Emperors 1. Aurelian 2. Augustus 3. Trajan 4. Marcus Aurelius 5. Hadrian
Alucard .Tepes you missed Kuzco. He's number one. (also is your last name really the Romanian 'Tepes' or is it a hidden reference to Vlad Tepes, the real life inspiration behind 'Dracula'? Either way, brownie points to you😎)
Trajan -> Hadrian -> Augustus ...... Aurelian at least for me.
Came for the asmr, stayed for the history lesson
Love your whisper and knowledge. Love watching the hand movements too ❤️
Wow so much work went into this legendary tale!! Thank u so much, subscribed and will be back often!!
Oooooh your voice is extra bassy in this video. Goodness your voice is amazing
I love it... it scares my mom and dad.. which is hilarious. 😄
As someone who enjoys history, this is very cool, even though I know quite a bit of Rome’s beautiful, and tragic history
I've been using this every night to go to sleep. Thank you for this.
Thank you so much for your work. You help me every night to sleep. You're so appreciated 💖
Count a sheep every time he says "the antiquity."
"CAESAAAAAAAAAR!!!"
Shiiiizaaa!!!
Caesar love humans more than apes, more than your son!!!!
I look forward to these every night! Thank you so so much.
Joe pera and this channel should have an 8 hour talk-off competition
Christans: Paganism is devil worship and your going to hell!" Pagans: "Uhh.. who's "devil." And what is hell?"
It’s crazy how even the Roman’s were ok with people believing in different gods and religions, until Christianity came around🤦🏻♂️
Mono-theistical religions exist only to divide and extort
@@bloodorange6713 couldn’t have said it better myself
I have insomnia and wake up frequently. Getting to wake up to history facts? Gold.
I love your channel. Your voice is so relaxing and so peaceful ♥️♥️.
Marry me.
I'd love an educated husband like him too :)
oh my gosh, as a classics student this video is PERFECT, i can study AND relax at the same time???? something i once thought to be impossible!!😅😭 thankyou so much for this!!
What an amazing soothing voice. Thank you for making these videos xx
Omg. He makes me fall asleep like it's nothing....I'm a chronic insomniac. I'm very glad I found this channel. I also have ptsd and sometimes falling asleep has this feeling like your choosing to fall off a cliff. And it has that falling feeling so it doesn't feel right and my body reacts being startled and then I'm up and a bit alert for some minutes. And the best kind of sleep is the kind where I didn't even know I fell asleep till I'm dreaming and wake up later. That's what this guy helped me do. I comfortably fell asleep. I'm not always into asmr it feels kinda off....like okay creepy weirdo. And I felt like that with him but then there is just no fighting it. This man has a gift. Thank you
I absolutely love your voice, it’s so deep and gentle. Time to sleep!
I love this ❤️ thank you for regularly uploading 👍🏻😻
Great i feel asleep the first 10 min and i wokeup after 2 hours and i am still going to finish the video
Like nearly everyone else, I have to work from home now, and having something I can just put on that's calm and educational is awesome. It's the perfect level of interesting and relaxing. It fills just enough space in my head so I can work without being distracted. Thanks for sharing your knowledge :)
Lucky you for not losing your job lmao
Amazing. Your channel deserves praise + many more subs. Respect.
I've never fallen asleep to one of your videos but I always wake up listening , thankyou
I love your videos so much, thank you so much for doing this!
This is so good. One of the best ASMR in existence.
I'm determined to get this video to a million views. This channel is beyond underrated. No ads. Top tier research. Beautiful voice. What more can you ask for?!
Thanks, it should get to a million in about 10 days if views remain stable 🙂
@@TheFrenchWhispererASMR congratulations on reaching 1 million views! :D
This.series is my favorite. Thank you so much.
