One of the greatest stories from the famous Arabian Nights, with descriptions and details that are often left out of film versions based on similar translations.
I've been listening to a little bit of this every night before I go to sleep. I've never actually heard the full story before, it's quite lovely, as is the narration
Do you mean Al Adin? The nineteen ten harvard classics translations of the thousand and one nights is more true than todays sanitized for your protection version.
Pay for CZcams premium it is a game changer. Without it the ads go on and on unless skipped which does not work if nodding off. Since I did it I get all the audio like this and all the video stuff and free and rarely watch Netflix etc.
I'm confused, it starts in China? Then an African shows up and they visit Muslim temples? Then he marries the Sultan's daughter? A Sultan in China? And a Sultan is Turkish right. Not Arabian.
Don't be confused. The stories are about mankind and travelers. An update on sultans:en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sultan_bin_Abdulaziz. Even though I grew up in Ireland, I grew up with these stories.
They had nomads who travelled from town to town, from a country to another with their tents and their herds. They also traveled a lot for education and trade, they would take to China precious materials there and exchange and/or buy other materials they needed to bring back to their own places. They were not limited to the lands, they would to the seas in ships ( look up Piri reis for exemple, he was a cartographer, the ottomans had a world map done that contained navigational techniques as well as fairly advanced charts for that time and markers for longitudes and latitudes which were not yet used by the west ( I don’t recommend the wiki article for this one). The arabs went til Spain and stayed quite a bit, to Malaysia if you remember .
You may not be aware, but borders are a relatively new phenomena. Before, there were just general areas of the world and maps were a hazy guesstimate. China in the time this story was told, may well have meant parts of Asia to the north of today's India. The stories themselves were first introduced to Western literature in the early 18th Century. (1703 or so) but the stories themselves are far older.
It was said to be in China so as to impress upon the listener the djinn/genies ability to move the castle from China to Morocco in a single night. Google "was Arabian nights set in China. I'd say the great wall of China proves the theory of Chinese nationalism incorrect.

Thank you 🙏
I've listened to many of your notations sir. Great voice
Someone said it's A.I ...there's no way..
I am quite sure it is Ai. But beautiful nonetheless
Too nuanced to be AI
@@TheSuperHarrygeorge You are quite right sir, there is no possibility that Ai is so accurate in its current iteration.
Thanks a lot❤ love from Egypt❤

CZcams premium is worth the money if you can afford it. I haven't watched an inserted ad in a year. Makes this site way better.
Adblock pluss. I haven't seen an ad on internet for about 10 years now, thanks to AB+..

Borders were very much alive in ancient days. Wars were fought over borders everywhere..
