    Where have I heard the dulcet tones of this narrator’s beautiful voice before? 😉 Happy New Year to you, the fam, and all the lads!

    Heard about this in Pastwatch by Orson Scott Card, great book that you might wanna pick up if you like the topic. It's about people in the future that can observe the past and it center on Christopher Columbus.

    I gotta say, I really love the content of this channel. Really good to see a collection of ancient and historical literature.
    But, and what I say is by no means a slight or meant as a snarky or insulting comment, and I will continue to listen to the works you put up on this channel;
    But Carl does not have an enjoyable reading voice to listen to.
    I don't know if it's the tamber or the badly placed inflection on sentence endings, or a combination of things.
    But there is a noticeable "reading the words on the page" sound to it,
    like a teacher with a child's book, with improper pauses and a start-stop off-rythme to the flow so kids can follow along.
    Again, I am not saying this to be flippant or combative, I'm just simply pointing out a noticable flaw in the content.
    I really enjoy channels like "Voices of the Past" and "Legendary Lore" or "Fall of Civilizations". They would be excellent examples to learn and improve from.
    Either way, thanks for sharing this mass if works and it's really good stuff to get to hear.

    Some of the themes here have a lot of similarity to other creation myths.

    Great to see Sargon/Carl doing this again. The names are probably butchered though.

      These native American languages are hard. if you read them you will never get it right unless you hear a native pronounce it. they have sounds that are not super hard to pronounce. but there is no equivalent in the Latin alphabet.

    • @moon_yeka
      @moon_yeka Před 5 měsíci +1

      @@belstar1128 Nahuatl is certainly challenging to pronounce but if this guy has at least listened to the correct pronunciation a little before attempting this, it would have at least sounded better than just winging it.

  • @vinamacias7546
    @vinamacias7546 Před měsícem

    these pronunciations make this version completely unlistenable. it's clear not even an attempt was made to learn them, which is tragic because they really aren't even that hard for English speakers.
