History ASMR: The Viking Age (soft spoken, tracing, educational) 

I'm into "educational (?)" asmr right now, can't stop watching videos about history and mythology, and this video is just PERFECTION. Thanks a lot

The island I live on in Scotland the villages are still named after what the vikings named them, of course the names have changed over time and there is also a Viking ship burial on one of the beaches here :)

Omg I’m a huge history nerd and I love ASMR. Your channel is brilliant! Thank you!

So interesting topic! It’s always a struggle between wanting to focus on the subject matter and wanting to just let your sweet voice lull me to sleep 😴

The tracing, page turning and smoothing the pages with your hands are all so heavenly. And your voice is lovely as always. Another great video!!

Pretty sure the reason for going on raids is because of relatively poor soil quality in Norway and Sweden and if not for that the immense labor of removing the forests that fill a large part of the area. Then it was easier to go out and trade/raid. Additionally the low amount of sun you get up in northern Europe makes it so that you need other sources of vitamin d which the fishers got from cod liver, farmers away from the coast would have issues getting vitamin d and thus get weak bones and fatigue. Down in Denmark the population density was and still is higher and soil quality higher, even vitamin d isn't as big an issue because of the lower latitude. This also reflects that you see more farming down in Denmark in this time period. As to the reason of differing soil quality we need to see back to the last ice age where glaciers took sediment from Norway and Sweden and deposited it on the east coast of Denmark and a bit of Northern Germany, it can also be seen that the lower quality western lands (the one where the sediment didn't reach) has a poor quality of soil to this day, with a high amount of coarse sand and thus having poor water retention and the already existing sediment got washed out when the glaciers melted. Now a personal theory not confirmed by any source I know is that most of the Vikings that originated from Denmark came from western Jutland where the soil was too poor to even be farmed before talented German help was acquired in 1723. (response to 5:40 (ish))

This is my first time watching “educational” ASMR. I thoroughly enjoyed it! I especially love ancient history. And the color of your nails is so beautiful! I really liked watching your hands with those pretty nails.

I have been looking forward to this one! Thank you for posting!!!

Congratulations! Your videos are way more than ASMR. Cant stop enjoying them.

Absolutely divine work! I really enjoy your choice of subject matter. Thank you for what you do!

Great video! I really like the combination of history and asmr! And it also seems to be very well-founded information, awesome!

Books introducing Greek gods or Indian gods would also be a good idea

This is GREAT!!! 😊 I wish all of your channel was ASMR History!! I love history so much, and it would be great to have something like this to fall asleep to at night. If you do any more, I will definitely watch them!! Good work!

i immediately recognized that picture stone in the background at 0:10. it's on display at Gotlands Museum in Visby, Sweden. looked at it many times in person. it's huge! :P

When they came to constantinople, some went to the haghia sophia and wrote down “Halfdan was here” in their language. It’s still there.

I love these educational asmr thanks for the time you invest😊

I absolutely love viking history and would love if you made more videos on this topic!

The BEST!!! Thank you for making such amazing videos 🙏🙏

Wonderful educational Vikings video!!

Hello from Norway! I love history and ASMR! So this is pretty great. Currently been teaching myself Egyptian hieroglyphs.

This is so relaxing I love your voice it fits perfectly with asmr 😌

Perfect! I love history and this is exactly what im interested in right now :)

Absolutely fascinating melange thank you!!!

An old tale that is told here in Iceland describes what happened to the norse in Vinland. The story goes that as the norse started settling down they also started mingling with the native Americans living there, establishing trade and relations. But on a day where the norse and Americans had gathered for another trade the norse had brought cheese with them, and wanted trade it for some goods from the Americans. So they offered them the cheese. But as the Americans weren't tolerant to lactose from the milk they got sick from the cheese and suspected the norse of poisoning. And as they days went by, relations soured and the Americans drove the norse out of Vinland.

Glad I found this channel, love the topics you go over.

I love how engaged you are with the subject.

Very fascinating and relaxing video!

Love your videos! Super interesting and relaxing~ Searched for Educational ASMR videos to help me fall asleep, and I'm very glad that RU-vid showed me this video! Not only because your videos are very high quality, but also because this way I found a fellow RU-vidr from Vienna! Freue mich schon darauf mehr Videos von dir zu sehen!

I LOVE your accent, I can't quite place it, but it really adds to your ASMR videos and the history topics are both educational and relaxing. Thank you! I look forward to more of your content.

Much anticipated! Thank you so much - also appreciate the hygge callback :)

Wow! 😍 I loved this video so much! Since I’m from Norway it was especially fun to listen to 🤗🥰🥰❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ your voice is so relaxing 😌

Very interesting and enjoyable video. Thank you!

Your ASMR is not only educational but also relaxing, i absolutely love your voice and am glad i found your channel!

Interesting and relaxing in equal measure.

Thank you for another wonderful video

So relaxing 😌

My father is from Danmark and I have always wanted to learn more about where I am from. This was great and I have learned a lot. Thank you!

I'm a very big history nerd, especially in the Viking and Celtic bits of history, I'm still trying to learn more though of course. I only just found your channel but I assure you, you have a new subscriber and a loyal viewer! Your voice is so calming and kept me engaged the entire time, which for me is rare because of my ADHD. I'm honestly excited to find more of your videos. Thank you for your work and dedication to history! We need more people like you. Though I did have a question, could you give me the names of the books you used in this video or any way to purchase them?

I love what you're doing and your voice is soo soothing to me. Thank you so much, big hug for u 🥰💖

Thank you for this great video, lots of new knowledge for me, I didn't know the Vikings went to Russia and Constantinople, and the Med, I will definitely be reading more about that. What amazing people! All so relaxingly narrated. With the Ukraine War I want to know more about the early history of Russia, so this seems to link in perfectly. I have the right books at home, bought ages ago in a second hand book shop, now it's just a question of opening them for the first time!

Love love love the tracing. And very nice sweater and nails 🙂

I love of course the content and your narration and gentle tracing skills, but can I say: the camera work in this video adds SO much to the relaxation! Absolutely phenomenal.

Love this. The Library of Whispers is another great channel too.

Love it! Would love more Viking content!!!

Beautiful video

Passed out to this ladies voice last night.

Crazy how life works, thank you! This made me realize who I Love.......

Great video!🇸🇪

Amazing! Thank you

Love the pace of these videos and you are super sweet. I'm also the right kind of nerd ;)

... I loved this!

i love this video so much

So unique and interesting thanks

Just found your page and I’m INLOVE. Ive been trying whispered history on my channel because who doesn’t want to listen to history but softly in their ear💤🥰 I love it keep it up❤️

Your voice reminds me so much of WhisperCrystal, it's fantastic!

Please do more like this. Maybe you could go over a nature related book sometime, too.

Super toll, gerne mehr!

I just found your channel and it's so lovely and interesting, thank you!💕

Can be worth mentioning that one of the reason monestaries got hit hard could be partially revenge. Lets not forget all the christian "saints" who went around burning sacred groves and temples of the pagans.

Dublin was the largest settlement of Vikings outside of Scandinavia and had huge connections with York. They were known as the Ostmen.

i love how you present the information! totally sparked my interest in history😍

Lindisfarne is a lovely place to visit if you have time and can plan ahead with the tides. I’m blessed to live in the North East of England.

I have found the loveliest lady on the internet! Excellent videos - this is my favourite!

Awesome video

Ragnar, Bjorn Ironside, Freydis, Leif, Ivar, Harald and Uhtred quietly sleep with an enormous smile on their faces

Quite coincidental that i’m on a playthrough of Assassins Creed: Valhalla and I get this in my Recommendations. Well, nonetheless, it’s time to fall asleep listening to Viking History 😴💤

Thanks for a great video. Just wondering was is the title of the first book shown?

ASMR, with a higher purpose! Love it, sry tho i fell asleep durinh the lesson heh

More viking videos please!!!

-- Fantastic video! 😊❤️

Your videos are always such a pleasure, i am still waiting on the day where you will surely get the deserved views.

Part of me wants to sleep, part of me wants to finish the video because damn vikings are cool

Subscribed! I loved the topic, the tracing, the voice... There is a small 'but' for me: I find the frequent and sudden changes of perspective distracting (eg. camera on top vs on the side)

Look up *Leifr Eiríksson* _"The Lucky/Lucky One"_ ... around the 11th century (proof that he indeed arrived to North-America)

My family and i found out that my mom was part Viking a couple of years ago! Although I’ve never looked into it, i found this video so informative! Thank you for this amazing ASMR video!

They probally often had the slaves they took work on sails and doing some of the heavy labor it took to build boats and prepare for sea voyages.

Ooouhhh please please more about that. And more about Nordiy Mythology

Please can you do a map video of my home town Bristol in England. There's lots of history. May make a good video

Books like "downfall" explore the end of viking settlements in Greenland and NA. The primary theory for NA Abandonment was their ferocious attitude towards the indigenous Americans. Coming late to Christianity the vikings became rabid zealots (and much like later Spaniards) butchered Inuit and indigenous Americans on sight. Their settlements in NA were almost certainly destroyed as a reprisal for their barbarity, whereas Greeland indeed was abandoned, likely due to the little chill of the 1400's and an inability to be resupplied by Europe or the inuit. Though it also surmised that Greenlanders chose not to eat fish and why they did that and instead relied on pork and cattle severely curtailed their chances of survival

Trying to sleep but I'm too interested

Are you reading from a book? What book are you reading?

1070, c'mon I was waiting for 1066!

Odin once said you can never have to much knowledge

Are ancestors came from southern Denmark and northern Germany I stay true to my roots and good video

people often forget that the vikings were part of germanic tribes, thats why countries like the netherlands and germany share alot of culture with the nordics, also many people in the netherlands and nothern germany are descendants of vikings too, theyre often a mix of north and west germanic!

What book is this?

Me encantaría qué esté vídeo estuviera en Español

Length to width of 4 to 1 not 1 to 4 :) you said it the other around.

hallo!! sind sie geschichtslehrerin?

Hi,kannst du das Video nochmal auf deutsch machen? lG.

Black space 🚀🌌🌚 Sweet dreams 🖤🖤

It’s pretty interesting! Thank you very much for educating content! 10:15 but the whole area here was under Kievan Rus from 800s to 1300s (present Belarus and Ukraine). Russia didn’t existed at all at that time. Around 1500s the dependents of Rurik came to that land (which had nothing to do with Kievan Rus before) to expand the territory. I know what I’m saying and I do this to clear the things about “Russian history”. They always were stealing history and culture from others especially from Ukraine (that’s real facts). They claimed the Rurik dynasty to themselves which isn’t true. They stole the name “Rus” and made it into “Russia” although it never belonged to them. The truth is they have very mixed and messed culture from others and let that be their special thing but no, they prefer to lie and steal instead.

I was taught that Viking meant Sea King.

so sweety lie

Origin of russia is The Golden Horde, as one of it's Ulus moskovia. The name russia came in 18th century and was meant to steal Kyiv legacy

The whispering thing is really annoying.
