ASMR - History of Carthage and the Phoenicians

Published 2022-03-15
In this ASMR/bedtime story video, I tell you about the history of the Phoenicians and their cities (Byblos, Tyre, Sidon...), including the most famous of all: Carthage. I discuss various topics, like the Late Bronze Age Collapse, Phoenician culture, religion and society, what Canaan and the Levant are, how ancient maritime trade worked, the rise of Carthage and how the confrontation with Rome in the Punic Wars turned out.

    My Aunt is Lebanese and when she and my Uncle had my baby cousin, I went to visit them in Beirut. We went to Byblos, Tripoli and the ancient ruins at Baalbek. The country is amazing

    I just said to my husband 'Time for me to learn about the history of Carthage and the Phoenicians from the French Whisperer!' and he replied 'That'll be fascinating for the 2 minutes you're awake' 😄 Thank you for lulling me to sleep so often, love your videos!
  • @teddybear9029
    It annoys me in the asmr world that there’s so many brainless eye candy channels that have a million subscribers plus yet someone like mr whisperer it takes years to get where he’s got to now, I mean this guy has studied so much on such a myriad of very interesting topics, hats of to this great channel!
  • @tiacarrie2561
    HOW do you not have 1/2 a million subscribers, Mister? I really appreciate your content!
  • @NathanASMR
    One of my favorite historical subjects! I love Carthage and the Phoenicians as well as the Punic Wars, which are absolutely fascinating. If you get a chance I highly recommend a listen to Punic Nightmares by Dan Carlin (Hardcore History). But nobody does it quite like you my friend. Truly the number one ASMR Historian of them all. I'm beyond looking forward to watching this later tonight. Thank you for sharing this, and also sorry to hear about all the difficulties with those other videos but I'm sure it'll work itself out somehow. I'd write them a letter myself if I could!!
  • @hannahh8696
    I'm so glad you've done another video on this subject. Thank you for all the amazing work you do and your professionalism, and all the little things you do to make each video perfect. It doesn't go unnoticed!
  • You never cease to amaze me with the research you do for these episodes.. I am so much smarter because of you!
  • @Shigawire
    Woooow, my favorite ancient people and history. Wonderful. Polybius wrote very well about those three wars. Thanks!
  • @meganechan720
    Commenting for the algorithm. I love all your videos, please keep making them!
  • ce serait tellement magnifique d'avoir de nouveau des audio en français 😭 les 60 qui existent sont écoutes et réécoutes🙂 mais il y a tellement de beaux sujets en anglais ....
  • @BYMYSYD
    I've have been waiting for someone to do a video about this for the longest time ☺️
  • @kirk9510
    wow I'm currently doing a school project on Carthage and I thought it was only the algorythm doing his thing but no, I was actually surprised when I realised that it was one of The French Whisperer's amazing videos and that it was uploaded only a couple hours ago. what a coincidence.
  • Dear French Whisperer, you are the number one storyteller in the internet world. You are the only one that can make me relax and fall asleep while I am enjoying a really interesting story. I love you so much that a would hire you to come to my house every night to tell stories exclusively for me (it's a joke, I am not crazy...I think 🤔). All my best wishes from Buenos Aires 😘😘😘
  • Thank you for your wonderful and knowledgeable historical experiences that I have learned. I am so relaxed whilst listening to you and your table top of artifacts . The small brushes or cloths you use also relax me ! May you continue to be the best channel on here ! Truly an appreciative fan , Peace
