- For tonight's bedtime story, let's explore the stories of various gods from Antiquity that once were very relevant to the societies that worshipped them, before mostly disappearing from memories:
- Sol Invictus, the sun god of the Romans that was propelled from obscure cult to imperial religion in the Third Century AD, and whose festival on December 25th became Christmas;
- Mithra, an Iranian deity borrowed from Zoroastrianism by several foreign peoples, especially the Romans, who reinvented this cult completely into a mystery religion for initiates;
- Inanna/Ishtar, the Mesopotamian godess of love, procreation, political power and war, that was worshipped for thousands of years by various Mesopotamian civilizations (Sumerians, Akkadians, Assyrians, Babylonians) and whose influence reached the Mediterranean;
- Pazuzu, the demon god of southwestern winds of the Babylonians, and a popular domestic spirit whose ferocity protected homes, pregnant women and young mothers from even worse evils;
- Aten, the sun disk, that pharaoh Ahmenotep IV/Akhenaten tried to impose as the new supreme god of Egypt during the New Kingdom.

@thefrenchwhisperer
Please consider doing a video on Slavic mythology! I would love to hear about mokosh, velneus and baba yaga. There is a rich pantheon and a vast history to these stories. Thank you for your videos!
My name is Libby!
Except there is no rich pantheon or vast history. Almost everything you heard about slavic mythology is made up by 19th century romanticism and after. There are no myths or stories written down about slavic gods. All we know something about are Perun and Veles .Then the names about some Gods and Folk practices centuries after Christanization.
Baba Gaga like John wick ?
Pazuzu is most well known demon partly due to the most famous horror movie ever made the exorcist
Yassss
Berserk fans meanwhile:
I am grateful that these stories are available for me to listen to as read by other voices. However, The French Whisperer is the perfect bedtime story teller. So for myself, why attempt to adjust perfection?
Thank you French Whisperer.
I was literally just now watching a Crecganford episode about Mithraism, its various forms ... wow ...
If you are in my head ... ❤
Just what I needed. You have no idea how much you do for people! 🤗
Love these types of topics; more please. ❤❤❤. You are fascinating and soothing. Thank you for sharing your talents.
First time I've been this early! You uploaded perfectly for my early bedtime in the UK. Thank you for keeping me company while I'm not well.
Take care! 🤗
🫂
Well wishes from across the pond
@@grumpy9721 thank you
@@AnonimitySmith thank you
I've never heard anyone mention Pazuzu before! Absolutely loved this.
Thank you for these stories. Your gods, religions, myths and magical creation stories are always so insightful and peaceful. I hope there's more to come.
Well whispered sir! You have a voice of somnambulant woven silk. Merci beaucoup.
It's not really whispered, this is soft spoken. I therefore couldn't watch it when going to sleep but the rest of the time is perfect.
@ginismoja2459 yeah but “well whispered” is alliteration and sounds better
always the most interesting topics, I expect nothing less
Looking forward to go to sleep and listen to a new video from the king of asmr. Thank you 🤗
Thank you so much for a new video! This made my day. Can't wait to listen 😍
On top of your soothing voice, the cadence of your story telling is absolutely perfect. I think it’s why I find it hard to be soothed by very few people.
“Call me by my dream name…” “PAZUZU!” - the quote becomes literal tonight. 😴
wait which movie is that
@bangchanswebbrowsinghistor5145 Hi, I think it's from The Excorcist.
@@bangchanswebbrowsinghistor5145 Exorcist II: The Heretic
@@bangchanswebbrowsinghistor5145I think "The Exorcist"

Looking forward to this listen! Thanks so much!
Please make yourself comfortable
Been listening to this episode back to back. Amazing stories as always ❤ Love your channel and Olympia's.
Thanks!
Thank you!
Thank you for this!!!
Your content makes me happy every night. Thank you
Your videos combine 2 of my favorite things: history, and sleep.
Thank you so much for these wonderful mythology videos! I learn about one of my favorite subjects while getting to let go of my anxieties and worries and I'm very grateful for that 😊
this guy has been doing asmr for 10 years and only 354k he deserves way more subs 🎉
Absolutely.
This is my favorite video, regarding topic, thus far by The French Whisperer.
Yoyo ❤️
My older brother told me about them when I was younger I could never remember their names but I was fascinated when I seen this I remembered their names
I love ancient history.
Mais quel voix ❤️🔥
SMT taught me well
THANK U OMG I WAS JUST ABT TO GO TO BED
Would you ever consider any stories from the Old Testament? Such as Moses, Noah or Adam and Eve? Or perhaps some lesser known stories?
I remember your wonderful retelling of Buddhism and Hinduism. I imagine Christian would be equally insightful. Some of the stories may overlap with other religions, such as Jewish and Islamic?
I also wonder if you plan to revisit the Native Americans and a
African cultural stories to expand on other gods or myths from the diverse groups.
I'd like to remind you of the *real* best God everyone.
Brigantia.
She's just so cool she's still got a certain island named after her, if you squint close enough.
From all your videos so far...who ìs your favourite God, and which myth or ancient cultural story is your favourite so far?
Finally!❤
ISHTAR MENTION ✨💅🏻💅🏻👑
Church of Latter Day Saints ad before this.
The scientific name for the red imported fire ant is Solenopsis invicta which im sure is a reference to Sol Invictus
❤
💜💜💜
1:49 The Roman Christian historian Sextus Julius Africanus dated Jesus' conception to March 25 (the same date upon which he held that the world was created), which, after nine months in his mother's womb, would result in a December 25 birth.Thats why its on the 25th, whixh also corresponded to sol invictus, bt it wasnt planned to be.
🔥👁️🔥
What does asmr mean please
PRAISE SOL
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Operation Naptime: cleared hot.
I am very com fort able
Une excellente presentation, comme toujours. Si ce n'est pas trop agacant, puis-je preciser le langage dans la partie sur Pazuzu? L'equivalent de "il n'a rien a voir avec" en anglais doit etre "he/it has nothing to do with".
Por que olvidaste a tu audiencia de habla hispana,porque ya no sacas videos en español?😢
Ya no tengo tiempo para hacer versiones en español, pero por esto tengo www.youtube.com/@LaBibliotecadelosSuenosov con las mismas historias contadas por una narradora.
Black/ white space if you need it
The historian debate about Christan supposedly plagiarizing some random gods festival has been long settled. Long story short no they did not and it’s just pagans saying that to try and gain some kind of cultural relevance by mall stuff up. Hope that helps

@@runningsandwich more specifically “The origins of the liturgical year by Thomas J Talley , the stations of the sun by Hutton, Encyclopedia of Christmas and new year celebrations 2nd edition by Tanya gulevich. For academic papers you can find “early Christan chronology and the origins of the Christmas’s date” “SOL INVICTUS, THE WINTER SOLSTICE.
AND THE ORIGINS OF CHRISTMAS” by Steven Hijmans, and “Calculating December 25 as the Birth of Jesus in Hippolytus' Canon and Chronicon” by Thomas C Shmidt. This is the academic sources and proof that Christmas and its traditions are in fact Christian in origin and modern pagans are just trying to cope with their long dead religion.
