I just want to thank you for your amazing work. I sleep with headphones, listening to your channel. Im coping with loosing my father to suicide. I'm plagued by nightmares, but your calm voice and wonderful stories help more than you could ever know
It's great to see you focusing on such a wide variety of mythologies. I would be overwhelmed if you decided to do a history of humanity one day your channel is definitely ready for it, you've been building very steadily in your content creation. Doing a video on the history of humanity would be peak win I believe!
He could even follow along HG wells' history of the world. It needs quite a bit of updating as we've learned a lot both geologically and archeologically in the last 50 years. But I think wells did a great job summarizing much.

Gilgamesh, a King, at Uruk. He tormented his subjects, he made them angry. They cried out aloud: Send us a Companion for our king! Spare us of his madness! Enkidu, a wildman, from the forest, entered the city. They fought in the temple, they fought in the streets. Gilgamesh defeated Enkidu. They became great friends. Gilgamesh and Enkidu, at Uruk. The new friends went out into the desert together, where a great bull of heaven was killing men by the hundreds. Enkidu caught the bull by the tail, Gilgamesh struck him with his sword. They were victorious. But Enkidu fell to the ground, struck down by the gods, and Gilgamesh wept bitter tears saying: "He who was my companion, through adventure and hardship... is gone forever."
I was looking for something migraine-friendly to listen to the other night and this came up. ASMR really isn’t my thing but I found it was doable with my migraine. I was delighted to find that the content is excellent - you are a superb storyteller and the way you explain history is extremely accessible and engaging. I’ve listened to a couple more since then simply because the topics interest me, and I look forward to seeing what you make in the future.
The story of Gilgamesh is a tragedy. Two men, wild and uncivilized in their own ways, become friends and learn to love life and live it to the fullest until one dies tragically. The other is forced to grapple with the devastation of death, travelling through the stages of grief until finally reaching acceptance. I wonder how many other great stories of this pair were lost and how many stories from other myths may have seeds of these lost tales scattered throughout their own telling...
Strapping in for what promises to be the best retelling of the Epic of Gilgamesh since Picard's in the Star Trek: The Next Generation episode "Darmok."
i have very severe trauma issues around sleeping and the dark and for many years could only sleep with the tv on so i didn’t feel vulnerable. i sometimes listen to you episode after episode- sometimes 10-12 hours a night, but i’m calm and unafraid if i could afford your patreon i would definitely support you thru that. but until i can my hugest gratitude for your life changing work.
Dude thank you man, I know I've said it so many times but what you do is so wonderful. I love ASMR. and now have to use it to fall asleep. I love stories, I'm obsessed w history, ancient history the most. And this legend takes all this and puts it together! I get to fall to fall sleep listening to a great soft french voice telling me a story or stories of history and so many interesting topics. And it's free! I love this channel and will support it always. I'm having health issues and not working at the moment so this helps more then anyone can know. If I could donate I would God bless everyone! And God bless you Mr. French ASMR! Love your content, I use ur videos all the time!!
I've been falling asleep to this almost every night since you posted it. Gilgamesh is one of my favorite stories, and I'm so glad you made your own version! Merci beaucoup 😊
Merci beacoup Monsieur. This story was being told at a festival I just went to, but I was unable to stay to hear it. So now I can listen to your lovely voice telling it instead💖 I have now listened, and I think you are a master story teller. I appreciate the time and care you have put into the creation of your video.
Thank you for this, I've been very curious about the epic of Gilgamesh for some time. Now... If I can stay awake to learn something, that's another matter😉
I keep trying to get through it all and keep falling asleep! I’m genuinely curious to hear the end. Thank you for putting the time stamps in the description. You are a master of your craft.
I've always loved Gilgamesh and his adventures and of course the history of this beautiful, but troubled place! Great choice! And may the peoples in the Middle East find peace!🐦
Oh I just saw this. I'm so stoked that you chose Gilgamish! Unfortunately it is early morning here in Mesopotamia, but I await tonight and falling into a deep slumber to your words. :) Bravo
I love mythology! It's my favorites! Is that what the story of the planets as rulers are considered? I'm trying to find a good video about that. If anyone could help I'd be very grateful. 😊
Well now I want to go to bed! I don't recall hearing or reading anything about this subject. I love your mythology stories. Thank you for another great video! ✌⭐
i have a test on this epic in two days and the fact that this got recommended to me while i’m trying to sleep is so funny ?? omg i hope that this is a sign that i’ll do well :,)
I can’t wait to learn tonight with the French Whisperer! Tonight I’m going to learn about …[falls asleep]. But wait! The history of Paris beckons…[falls asleep]. Now, as opposed to then, I’m going to learn about [falls asleep].
Thank goodness you uploaded. Been searching for a decent channel all night but I can't stand the lips smacking, finger rubbing, generic dross that seems to be the formula for most other "artists"
Omg it's finally back 😭😭😭 this is my fav video by u and when utube blocked it I literally didn't know how I would sleep. I'm so happy you tried for us to get these unlocked and i appreciate u and ur channel so much
Merveilleux Monsieur. Vous êtes hyper doué. Je participe avec un peu d'argent, merci pour vos oeuvres qui me font dormir et surtout rêver. Je vous félicite. J'espère que vous continuerez.
Thank you so much for what you do, it would be incredible to hear your take on the history of sumerian religeion/beliefs. As always this was a masterpiece, all the love and respect
Welcome here! You must have exhausted what I recorded for Calm, I made only two stories in English for them if I remember well, and they are not very long 😅
@@TheFrenchWhispererASMR Sure did. I am now an expert on Atlantis, it was my favourite, I’m also an expert on the Theory of Relativity. I think I can recite most of both by now.
It is a short text, there is so much you can put on clay tablets ;). I had to flesh it out talking about the places and characters, and giving them motivations that are not explicitly described.
I,m trying now for 3 nights to make it until the end of your story.... and did not succeed! conclusion:your voice is so good that I fall asleep quickly, your story is so interesting that I will keep going until next evening and because of the timestamps in your video easily to find my way back. 5 out of 5 stars for you.muchas gracias.
I have become very encouraged to believe that probably the best of human history pre-dates that which has long been accepted as 'ancient' or written, possibly by a 'great' deal-more time. This period of humanity just beginning to bloom here on Earth demands so much of my curiosity and passion, - I would gladly submit to time-travel; even though I may-well not survive the manifold dangers - and I could never return !

I was honestly thinking of this too!!! Temba, his arms wide!
Yes! Darmok & Jalad at Tanagra!
I love that episode and I’m not normally a Star Trek fan
I have waited for this video for a long time.
I will open a special bottle of wine.

Very much so Patrick b. But Polynesian mythology is so vast
I put it on my to do list.
Oh cool!
@@TheFrenchWhispererASMR i have a large amount of info on polynesian mythologies i would gladly give to you.

One of my favorite fables, as told by the smoothest ASMRtist on RUclips. Excellent!
Every video gets more interesting. Love the history vids!
Glad you like them!
This one is outstanding! Blows my mind, even as I conk out while listening. Bravo Maestro.

Good night
With each video I learn more and get better sleep. Truly a gift to the world.
Thank you for this wonderful video! Your attention to detail in storytelling and in your backgrounds is amazing. This might be my new favourite 🌱💚
Loving the variety and the longer videos. Thank you for the time you put into these.
I was stressing about my schools orientation but this made me forget about my stress :)
When I was in college one of my history professors tried to say Uruk and Ur were the same city and to this day it makes me laugh.
I would love another science video when you can! They’re my favorite, I listen to them to sleep and again when I’m working so I can take them in.
I love these videos. And each one has these interesting props, objects being caressed and manipulated. So beautiful.
I love mythology! It's my favorites! Is that what the story of the planets as rulers are considered? I'm trying to find a good video about that. If anyone could help I'd be very grateful. 😊
Oh my god this is my culture ! Thank you so much I'm so excited 😍😍😍
Beautiful culture.
Well now I want to go to bed! I don't recall hearing or reading anything about this subject. I love your mythology stories. Thank you for another great video! ✌⭐

The cradle of civilisation, my ancestors, cultures and heritage. Very proud to be an Assyrian.

Phenomenal quality videos!
Love the tasteful sound effects, and this is best telling of the story I've heard. Bravo!

Still wondering why Peter Jackson hasn't made this story into a movie.
People might have a hard time with the wedding night first dibs bit.
Finally something that is sensible of ASMR.
The begging of the epic emphasizes how it was before the flood of Noah.
Thank-you for sharing with me....your voice puts me to sleep, love to listen to you 💕
