Another ancient Greek medical exam but Seleucids OBSESS over magic (Realistic ASMR, 198 BCE, Ep 2)

EPISODE 2: JEWISH BELIEFS ON MAGIC! It's about 31 years before the events of Chanukah. Israel's controlled by the Seleucids, who just beat out the Ptolemies for power. Greek and Jewish medicine meld in the traditions of the Essenes. And we're putting fish gall in your eye (again). Visual triggers galore with actual historical sources at the end of this video. Please never do this. Also: HEY! YOU! YOU WHO READS! There's a secret bonus video for people with that skill! It's this sweet cozy scifi, and it'll actually give you real sleep/mental health tips, plus a hint about the mysterious tech of the sound-producing mask: https://landing.mailerlite.com/webforms/landing/d2i4y0

If you like my storytelling skills, and want to keep in touch with me, I can email you neat goodies (and secret downloads) at byjenfinelli.com/you-want-heroes-and-fairies That way we can stay in touch if my YouTube disappears.

DON'T FORGET: if you get shown ADS AT THE END OF THIS VIDEO, BECAUSE YT IS TRYING TO KILL ASMR AND HAS TAKEN THE CHOICE AWAY FROM CREATORS AND WE'RE NO LONGER ALLOWED TO CHOOSE WHERE ADS GO - you can watch ad-free for free at https://odysee.com/@actualdoctorasmr:f Or become a patron, and I'll straight up let you download my vids: patreon.com/becominghero

The views in the video aren't necessarily mine; you may have noticed by now I try to capture little-heard perspectives in history, such as the position of mixed race people in Meiji Japan (https://youtu.be/3dwo3flHrg0 ) or aboard a pirate ship (https://youtu.be/uRpeCxYwjyA ), or the unusual existentialism of Joan of Arc's "voices" (https://youtu.be/BEek6r1SKIE ). That's what's up.

***Jen Finelli is a world-traveling scifi author who's gone swimming with sharks, escaped being locked in a German nunnery, discovered murals and poetry in underground urban caves, explored jungles and coral deserts, and cradled the dying. She is coping with life as an MD by telling you stories, and when she grows up she’ll be a superhero.

Jen is not your therapist. If you need your own therapist, please go to your primary care physician and ask them to refer you. Ask for someone skilled in CBT. Alternatively, there are therapists you can talk to online affordably (betterhelp.com/doctorjen) While Jen is a real doctor, she is not YOUR doctor; nothing she says is official medical advice, diagnosis, or disease treatment, because she has not physically examined or spoken with YOU. You have the power to fact-check. Her medical license is publicly searchable under the state of Virginia medical boards at 0101265916.
