ASMR - History of the Spice Road

Soft spoken male asmr sleep story about the spice trade from Prehistoric times to our days. In this video, I invite you to travel along the Spice Road and discover how these mysterious spices, that were high-luxury goods for centuries, were brought to India, the Middle East and Europe. From the expansion of Austronesians to the Age of Discovery and Portuguese navigators, we explore what spices are, where they came from and why they were in such high demand.

To listen while using other apps, switch the player to Picture-in-Picture (PiP) during playback — it keeps playing in a small floating window (the screen stays on).

To listen with the screen fully off, in-browser playback stops by YouTube's design. Open the video in the YouTube app to keep listening where background playback is supported (e.g. with YouTube Premium).
