Archaeology Sleep Stories - Ark of the Covenant, Copper Scroll, Order of Assassins (2 hours+ ASMR)

Video Description

This soft spoken history and archaeology ASMR video is about: - the Ark of the Covenant: I tell you about biblical accounts of the Ark of the Covenant, how the Hebrew Bible and Old Testament were elaborated, and the various legends or stories about what happened to it if it ever existed: this will take us from Mount Nebo and Babylon to the Hill of Tara in Ireland, Chartres in France, Egypt (this lead inspired the first Indiana Jones movie) or Ethiopia. - the Copper Scroll: this artifact found among the Dead Sea Scrolls in the Judean Desert talks of a mysterious treasure that may have been retrieved by its owners or seized by the Romans if it was real. - the Order of Assassins: from the time of the Crusades to the Mongol invasion in the XIIIth Century, this sect that was born from a schism in the Fatimid Caliphate managed to survive controling a string of strongholds in modern Iran and Persia, and they terrified their ennemies by proacticing infiltration and assassination.
