ASMR Medieval History: Legacy of the Templars in Paris and London (soft spoken)
Ойын-сауық
Deutsche Version folgt /German version comes at the weekend!
Ever wondered why both London and Paris have a "Temple" station? Let's go back all the way to the Middle Ages and the time of the crusades to get to the origin of that. I find the story of the Templars so fascinating and just love the fact that you can still find their traces in today's cityscapes, hundreds of years later.
For those who fell asleep early, my recommendation if you want to read up on the Templars is Umberto Eco's "Foucault's Pendulum". Their story is narrated in the first section of the book :)
Books:
Barth, Reinhard: Die Vermessung der Erde. Die Geschichte der Kartografie von der Papyrusrolle bis zum GPS. (no English edition, from what I can tell)
Chadych, Danielle; Leborgne, Domique: Atlas de Paris. Évolution d'un paysage urbain. (I don't think it's the same book, but there's an English publication by the same authors called "Paris. The Story of a Great City.")
The first map is called the Ebstorf Map.
The 1572 map of London can be purchased from Stanfords in the UK: www.stanfords.co.uk/Braun-Hog...
Nail Polish: Manhattan 800 Lilac Mood (love this one!)

The day after I watched this video, I went to an exhibition in which there was a big reproduction of the Ebstorf Map (which I'd never come across until the night before), and I was able to impress my father by pointing out various details that you'd mentioned. Your videos are not just useful for relaxing, but also for helping me look like I know about medieval cartography!

Oh how cool is that! I'm a little jealous, tbh. I don't think I've ever seen a reproduction anywhere.
Your circle map is a T-O map. They're super fascinating. You should do a video just on them.
You're one of the few ASMRists to post high quality content, beyond relaxation (you do both). So thank you !
This video coulden’t have a more purfect start 😻 I hope you’re doing good Melange. Awesome video as always 🥰
Such a cuddly kitty❤❤
Know this from a Map Men episode; the word orientate literally means to put east at the top, hence the name 'the Orient' for Asia because the east (Asia) was literally put at the top of maps.
Always good to see your partner in tingles 😻🐈 That T & O map is fascinating & gorgeous! I'm going to have to find a copy to examine, I'm so intrigued. Thanks for another wonderful video, such a great topic! 🙏💆🧘🛌🏼

Another interesting topic. While the Templars are prominent in Assassin's Creed, my first contact with them was in a book called 'Pan Samochodzik i Templariusze' which is a Polish novel for kids/youth. The story is about looking for a Templar treasure that was allegedly given to the Teutonic Order when the Templar Order was disbanded and hidden somewhere in their holdings in East Prussia.

I love that there are so many stories about the treasure of the Templars.
Foucault Pendulum is one of my favorite books! One of a kind, really. I enjoyed the video so much! It’s relaxing and educational at the same time, which is just priceless. Thank you ❤
Brilliant, per usual! Thank you, Ms🙏👑
Love this! I have seen the mappa mundi in Hereford Cathedral a few times and even bought a book about it and a large poster so I could see it in better detail. It's a fascinating map! Thanks for covering it!
Your content is awesome. Relaxing and intellectually engaging. Thank you!

That was fascinating, thank you. I've been to the Grandmaster's Palace in Valletta (before they started the restoration work) and it was very cool. There is so much history in Malta in general. If you haven't been already, you should definitely put it on your list.

I know this incredible history. For king Philippe Le Beau the templars were too rich and powerful and a threat to the country. Therefore on 13th October he ordered to kill them. That’s why still Friday the 13th brings bad luck or in a hotel there is never a room 13
