Hi! As an Afghan, I just want to point out that Afghani is currency, not a descriptor of the people or things of Afghanistan. So "Afghan art" not "Afghani art." Also it's important to note that the Taliban was installed in Afghanistan by foreign influence as a means of keeping the country de-stabilized. Prior to the Cold War, Afghanistan was a modern forward thinking nation where universities in Kabul educated men and women alike. Duke Ellington even played in the national soccer stadium in Kabul in 1963! For anyone that is unfamiliar with the country and curious to learn more, check out what it was like pre-1979. You'll be very surprised.
That might be in part because “afghans” in English-speaking countries is a kind of throw blanket crocheted with yarn, and is a common beginner project for people learning to crochet. So, “Afghani” might be in parlance to avoid confusion. Though I guess that does mean it’s possible to knit an afghan for an Afghan. 😅
As an American, I am deeply sorry for my country’s role in training the mujahideen and propagandizing Afghanistan’s children to commit jihad. Operation Cyclone, USAID’s jihad literacy project, and our invasion are unforgivable things that my country has done to yours.
your love of history and research is apparent. as a fellow history “nerd” i thoroughly enjoy these videos. thank you for your hard work and dedication to such content!
I think I speak for many here when I say that we are prominent witnesses to something unique in the asmr community. The way you combine history of a country with poetry, art, personal insight and asmr is unseen on youtube. Incredible how much preparation and perfectionism you put into your videos. 'The French Whisperer' was the only one so far that comes close to what you do. Only you do it much better, more enjoyable, more natural, more varied. And on top of that, you can do much more than these trips down history lane (those blissful role plays!). You really are a phenomenon!
I recently finished a book by Khaled Hosseini, A Thousand Splendid Suns. It is a book about the lives of two women in Afghanistan. Maybe that's why I found this video thanks to the algorithm because I googled information about destroyed Buddha statues.Great video, very relaxing
Loving this style of video, how prepared you are is exceptional! Really appreciating the combination of art, history, and current events with your own interpretation. Looking forward to more videos like this!! ❤
I am so grateful for these videos, every time I watch one of these my worldview shifts a little and I am so glad for the knowledge carefully and calmly explained. ❤️❤️
Thank you for your amazing presentation on the middle east history it takes my minde off of todays bad news , you have a beautiful voice , its so calming, thank you ❤❤❤
Hi, thanks for this video! I’d love it if your notes (and the pictures too, if possible), where available to download in pdf :) this is a super interesting topic that I’d love to learn more about! And also super calming the way you explain it :)
Thank you for bringing light on this topic! This video was both relaxing and super informative, your take on the art with the inclusion of the poems was amazing and really interesting. Love from italy💕
As someone from Newcastle. I don’t know if I agree with that, if anything we are becoming more like Russia…. a path towards potential Revolution and collapse of a state. Atp England will have to federalise imo.
Thank you for this presentation. Maybe the anti-American (and allies) women are used to their way of living and know no different way of thinking or living. How would they know what autonomy and a feeling of agency is like? Just my opinion. I love your videos btw! ❤️

Thank you so much for telling me the difference - I am terribly embarrassed!
@@JessaLynnASMR no need to be! Lots of people use the term Afghani. Totally innocent. ❤

Ayyy been to that place and it sucks. Maybe in the next life it's better.

Getting prepared for another hurricane here in FL, and this is exactly the type of calming break I needed.
I just learned about Milton. You are in my thoughts. I’m already devastated by the loss of chimney rock nc, can’t believe more is on its way so soon.
@@JessaLynnASMR - It’s unreal. I work in emergency services and pretty much everyone is mobilized to come in.

Beautiful video
really refreshing video topic. Subbed!
Didn't know I had a "Nina Myers ASMRs me with Afghani art" box in my head, but it's nice to be able to check it anyway.
*I love this.*
Great video❤

Mount Rushmore is “art” that was created by blowing up the Lakota “Tȟuŋkášila Šákpe”, or Six Grandfathers 💔
❤😊
Amasita 💐💯🖤
I like history. The United States military left Afghanistan on 30 August 2021
Thank you for bringing light on this topic! This video was both relaxing and super informative, your take on the art with the inclusion of the poems was amazing and really interesting. Love from italy💕
😊your absolutely beautiful 😍 beautiful
If I could suggest topics for future videos
I would say history, geography, or political topics
Those seem to really capture ones attention
7 inches is tiny? 😰
I live in the UK/England. It's becoming more like Afghanistan by the day.
As someone from Newcastle. I don’t know if I agree with that, if anything we are becoming more like Russia…. a path towards potential Revolution and collapse of a state. Atp England will have to federalise imo.
Dude I also live in the uk and all I can say is comparing the uk to Afghanistan is crazy
least pathetic Save Europa bitch:
How old are you?
Nope
