Скачать или смотреть How Victorian Showmen Stitched Monkeys to Fish to Build a Fake Mermaid | Boring History For Sleep

Tonight, we travel back to a quiet, rainy workshop in 19th-century Edo, Japan. There are no wars, no revolutions, and no shouting—only the slow, meticulous work of an artisan stitching a dried monkey to a salmon to create the world’s most famous hoax.

We will follow this strange object from its creation in a dusty room, across the slow rolling waves of the Indian Ocean, to the gaslit halls of Victorian London. This story is designed to be low-stakes, atmospheric, and oddly soothing.

Expect: 🌧️ Gentle rain and ocean ambience 🧵 Detailed descriptions of glue, sawdust, and varnish 🕰️ The slow passage of time in museum archives

So dim the lights, find a comfortable position, and let the history of a fake mermaid lull you to sleep.

"Boring History For Sleep" is a channel dedicated to the quietest corners of the past. We tell true stories without the drama, sound effects, or loud voices. Just gentle narration and ambient soundscapes to help you drift off.
