- After executing his wife for an affair with a servant, Sassanid king Shahryar proceeds to marry a succession of virgins and execute them the following morning before they betray him. Soon, a brave and clever woman named Scheherazade marries the king, and delays her execution by telling the king stories at night, but omitting the ending to be told the following night. But once each story is finished a new one is begun. This becomes the frame story of the legendary "One Thousand and One Nights", or more commonly "The Arabian Nights"!
MYTHOLOGY HAS BEEN TOLD AND RETOLD IN MANY FORMS ACROSS TIME, STORIES AND ACCOUNTS MAY VARY.

Homegirl delayed her execution through cliffhangers, genius 😂
Imagine having to tell a series of stories that have to be good or else you will get killed over it. There are several overpaid creatives in Hollywood that would have died a few chapters into their tales lol. This lady dropped multiple classics across the course of 1001 nights.
She is a fictional character lol
@@djchaiwallah We don't know whether she was real or not. But the stories do exist and they're a lot !!
@@shalinitiwariscorner5210
They are a collection of story's from around the Muslim world
She was a fictional characters used to combine all of those stories into one
"and so the car went faster, and FASTER and-"
"WAIT, this is the same story AGAIN! The Furious & The Fast! You've been telling the same story for a fortnight!"
"NO! Well, you see this particular vehicle was, uhh, it crashed! And then ... the passenger got out unscathed, and proceeded to enter another vehicle, and went even FAS-"*executed**
ummmm you do know that this isnt true, right?
a writer wrote them NOT the story character.
Look at that. A woman that saved an entire kingdom, not with a sword or throwing punches, but with her silver tounge and selfless heart. Take notes, Hollywood!
One of the rarest that saved a kingdom not with swords or a takeover but with words
Don't clown like this.
Her femininity was enough!
Swords and punches are more cinematic .
I don't understand why the queen's just wanted BBC all the time 😂😂
Saved her own life with the medieval equivalent of Netflix. Nice...
Netflix and Chill even lol
imagine going through labour three times, and still continue to tell stories during the process or it would be your head
@@deomartinez77 more like Netflix and save my head
medieval was called on Europe, ME were called the Golden Age :)
@@matheussanthiago9685lol! Was he listening to her stories while in the... Baby making process
Ah yes, the power of cliffhangers.
She was smart enough to know that us guys love a good cliffhanger. 😄
I would recommend the Malcolm and Ursula Lyons translation of _The Arabian Nights._ After the prologue, the book is divided into the individual nights. I read the book one night at a time, at bedtime, trying to make the experience as close to Scheherazade's as possible.
Brilliant
Thank you!
thanks for this suggestion. ive added the book to my list.
@@barzyali7470 You're welcome! The translation is actually divided into three books, which also includes translations of Galland's orphan tales and three different essays about the Nights. I hope you get as much enjoyment from this translation as I did!
Scheherazade isnt a historical figure or at least the nights werent how it actually went.
Secondly, the divisions of nights you have read ae entirely arbitrary as you are reading selections from the thousand and one nights and not the complete list of stories, the complete list is something like 22 volumes long.
Its an extremely cool set of stories, but please dont fill them in with modern nonesense.
Hold up, that dude had multiple concubines, then got MAD when his wife was with another guy? What a Lord of Hypocrites!
Yeah, the men were allowed to have multiple women, but the reverse wasn't happening because then the women were seen as impure, rebellious and wild so to them, they can't control that type of women. Poly relationships are one thing, but it's only fair if it goes both ways😂.
Master key opens many locks, shitty locks open to many keys
Difference between making it public and cheating behind your back
Also one was legal and one was not
Yes because the women themselves chose the richest men, being rich takes a lot of effort . That's why men take multiple women . And if she cheats than she should be you know what
@@Gam3rgirl007it's because hypergamy . Women wanted a rich man . Rich will always be less than poor ones that's how economy works . Don't blame men for it .
I love this. I’ve heard of 1001 nights before but never knew the full story of why they were told. This was a very good video as always
Glad you enjoyed it!
Shaharazad شهرزاد is completely an iranian name and the story is happening in the old iranian empire that was extended way more than it is now.
Yeah does it change the fact that it’s an Arabic story lol
Its a classic tale even now the stories are still loved throughout the world
Originally it was a collection of Iranian folk tales and when Arab chroniclers transmuted the stories into Arabic they added more folk tales of Arabic origin
@@abdibgm5748 cope harder bersian
What a wise and beautiful woman nowI know why it’s called 1001 nights even though heard before thank you for tell us amazing and knowledgeable stories 🤩
i've always loved this tale; I also loved the detail you put in
I personally hate that the king and his brother got a happy ending, what jerks/literal monsters
The cheating women were the monsters
Both were at fault, the women for their cheating nature and the men for their actions. What did they expect if the men could have multiple partners but the women couldn't? It wasn't fair. it was what the women were thinking 😂
@@SWOTHDRAThe cheating women were in a time period where they had few rights and had highly controlled lives. Is cheating right? No. But their husbands having consorts but that not being considered cheating, is that right? The entire thing is based upon a non-western version of the virgin / whore complex.
@@SWOTHDRA No they were not wtf. The women of the harem were sex slaves meaning they were forced to sleep with their slave-masters + the king arrogantly demanded loyalty while he wasn't loyal himself. And then he killed off so many innocent girls he skewed the gender ratio of his kingdom. HE is the monster.
Those women committed the highest degree of adultery lol. Hypothetically if I were to take your POV, his wife, the Queen, would still be considered in the wrong too since she cheated on him with a black slave. And anyways concubinage was the norm for almost all of human history in all societies. The men provide and the ones of high wealth had the privilege of taking multiple lovers since they can fulfill the greater burden of responsibility… 🤔 So yes the women were ALSO monsters for breaking the natural law and succumbing to degeneracy.

Great sharing! Thanks a lot. Keep up the excellent videos, very very impressive!
The modern equivalent is known as 'Netflix and chill'. It's commonly practiced among most couples.
O how wonderful my mom read the whole stories as i was a kid. I somehow missed the stories. It remembers me of the great childhood i had thank you M.U.😁🥰😘❤🖤‼
Nikolai Rimsky-korsakov's masterwork from 1888, was originally intended to be based on Scheherazade and her tales, but in 1910, Serge Diaghilev and company shifted the foscus twards the Sultan's backstory.
Thank you for this one! I've always enjoyed the stories but didn't fully know of the origins until now.
The Arabian nights story inspired not only Disney's Aladdin and the Anime Magi Labyrinth of Magic and Kingdom of Magic.
This is Persian not Arabian shahryar was ancient persian king Before Islam
@Inaam Ulhaq Yes, but the basic form of it and storyline is mainly Persian and its real name is actually a thousand and one nights not Arabian nights.
@Inaam Ulhaq it was written in Arabic. The world spoke Arabic within the 7th and the 13th centuries. the Islamic Empire spread from Spain to India, encompassing a wide variety of peoples, languages and cultural traditions. Arabs, Persians, Assyrians, Jews, Greeks, Egyptians, Berbers, Spaniards, Turks, Christians, Zoroastrians and Hindus all interacting through the medium of the Arabic language. Indeed, it was mainly in the hands of non-Arabs (and in many cases non-Muslims) that the Arabic language was developed into the premier instrument for scientific, intellectual and administrative discourse of its age
@Inaam Ulhaq Ali baba and Aladin are arab names lol
Magi is fire
I love that this is a story about stories
Like I traveled back to old time. There, far to the middle east with many beautiful cultures, adventurous and mysterious stories... I was in a stoned town nearby silky road, sun was shining above my head! Night with crystal moon over castle!...
This is really good, prior to this I was unfamiliar with the Arabian Nights, so thabk you very much. Recently picked up the Barnes & Noble leather-bound edition of the Arabian nights, the translation by Richard Burton.
I look forward to seeing you guys cover more of the Arabian nights
Hahaha first time on this channel. absolute grandiose intro and name. Mythology UNLEASHED!
In Magi Adventures of Sinbad, he conquered the seven seas and dungeon capturer having 7 Djinn he equipped but then again Magi Is very loosely based on the Arabian Nights tales.
This is source material
great story I enjoyed it way more than I have in the past
The king went through medieval red pill rage 😄
It is so intriguing and so smart a story! In enjoy it immensely!
...now we know, who invented the 'cliffhanger'😅
Wow this was great. To think the second sentence in the song Friend Like Me from the movie Aladdin brought me here. I’ve heard the song since I was a child. I finally heard it again and thought, “ I wonder who Scheherazade is?” And here I am. Thank you for this video
Amazing videos! Love your work.
Love this. Seen a TV movie about this. Awesome.
Yep. That miniseries was actually really good.
ngl that was very touching video... I'm starting the book and plenty disturbed by its contents of weird narrations and bizarre story telling but I'm enjoying myself
One of my favorite folktales!
🙌Great review
The arabian nights has always been a clasic of literature.
I remember I used to love reading them when I was at high school and loved it. Sadly, I don't remember many of thise stories anymore.
same, I'm revisiting these stories now. Going to listen to them as I drive around.
I've never heard the mythical origin of 1,001 nights. This was nice.
hey good to hear Brandon and Derek music here! love their music
I have dreamt of hearing the stories myself in person. Some of these stories were lost in writing. Alas, I can only remember a few and some of them incomplete. My favorite one is between two warring kingdoms where the losing king gifted her daughter to the other. The daughter is known to be most gifted 'director' of great shows. She drove the rival king crazy by making the most ridiculous of performances
Merçi beaucoup pour la video,s'il vous plait publiez une video sur la Vouivre et l'autre sur le Şahmeran!!!
It wasnt a story that didnt end followed by another. It was stories within stories and the wider plot never finishes
Wonderful. Congratulations. I am uncomforrable tha this channel has less than 70,000 (as per Sept 2022). It's a crime.
for the record jafar was based off the vizier of the caliph of Baghdad not the one from the tale of scheherazade
Yes, Jafar ibn Yahya Al-Barmaki was a real vizier of Caliph Harun Al-Rashid. But mythical stories of Harun Al-Rashid and his vizier do appear multiple times in 1001 nights.

NICE VIDEO
❤🤍💙 all your videos mate👍
You put in the video that 1001 nights = 2 years 9 months. Isn't that with the Gregorian calendar? How long is it in the lunar Muslim calendar?
The Persians used solar calendar
@@statisticallyspeaking2067 Are we talking about Persians though? Aren't they Arabs?
@@TheRadioAteMyTV Persians are Persians, arabs are arabs.... are Chinese people and Japanese people the same to you?
@@pegah6457 What does that have to do with what I asked? Are 10001 nights Persians or Arabs?
As for your weird non-connected insert, the blood lines of Japanese often connect to China, but again your comment had nothing to do with nothing.
So that’s why, the poor king must’ve suffered hard
Looks like the king find hope and can trust Scheherazade
Something tells me that I wanna find this story and read
What an awesome movie this will make!
There's been at least one movie based on the 1,001 Nights, and possibly more.
I wish I could hear those stories...
Ive read 2 different translations. Both were worth the read. You could prolly find book on tape also.
@@Bubblemantis Any Idea on where I can see them
There’s audiobooks for thousand and one nights right here on the tube

Actually, Ali Baba and the 40 thieves was a later addition by a french translator, and not part of the original tales.

@@mulashikalunga8625
agreed.
@@scarysara9364 those women got what they deserved
@@SWOTHDRA No they didn't wtf. The women the king hypocritically accused of cheating were sex slaves, we cannot fault them for not loving their slave-master and prefering the servant boys instead (who were slaves just like them). As if killing lovers wasn't cruel enough, he also killed girls who hadn't even done anything just to appease his cuck complex and paranoia. The king was a hypocritical entitled piece of sh*t and he deserved to be dethroned and totured till death.
I need more
Hey I had a long break of school and tomorrow I’m going back unfortunately and this is the book I’m learning about
And so started sitcoms & endless series of korean dramas.
And movies
lol, there's a lot of execution going on in this story XD
that's wild.
Just a doubt, if she told stories all night, how did they have 3 kids. Also to mention, her sister was there too. Lol
It’s very simple they just did it while she was telling the stories and while her sister was there i’m pretty sure her sister finished herself off a couple of nights out of those 1001 nights
"Days"! 15 minutes in early morning isn't that much
She gave birth while telling a story 😂
They had a full-time nap hour... lol

Jesus all this because some wives decided to cheat and their husbands are crazy. I mean I understand the anger but the way they went about it is just horrible. This could have all been prevented if the wives didn’t cheat and the husbands weren’t fools.
They're not wives they're sex slaves who had no love for their slave-masters and we cannot fault them for that. The king wasn't fit to be king.

Shehriyar and his brother must be punished for their heinious crimes. They slaughtered numerous animals in the name of "royal game". Shehriyar 'the hypocrite' killed many innocent women just because his wife cheated on him.
so this is where cliffhangers were invented. on one hand I want to say wait to go girl you are brilliant but on the other hand I cant stand it because I hate cliff hangers during a good story.

Story told differently. 2 brothers who's wives cheated on them swore never to trust women, but ends up being conned into marrying 2 scheming storytellers who edged their way into both brother's kingdoms & took over everything with their father.
Wow, you're so original. A tale framed around how women are evil and awful (while their husbands have consorts lol), in which many of the stories within have tales of wives doing horrible things to their husbands, has that super unpredictable ending you described. Absolute genius. How do you do it?

The names of the characters are clearly Persian. I know the story had been translated a lot and many authors from different cultures had added to it, but it personally annoys me when people call it Arabian Nights. I'm not saying it should be called Persian Nights or whatever, I'm just sayin it's not simply Arabic.
I hope it makes sense and I have nothing against my Arabic fellows❤
It's called Arabian Nights because 95% of the stories happened in Arab world especially Baghdad and another reasons are because the world knows it from Arab and it was written in Arabic! Every story is full of Arab poetry, at the same time you can find easily the Persian influence and their was important Persian characters at the stories especially Jaafar the Wazeir of Khalifa of Baghdad Haron Al Rasheid, in Arabic we called them one thousand and one nights and no one calls them "Arabian Nights"
Thank you to mention this❤️
Its a Persian story but Europe Says its Arabic
@@sarashaneli8540 Yes maybe Baghdad, Egypt and Syria wich the stories have been there are Persian and maybe the Arabic language is Persian because they found these stories in Arabic books with thousands of Arabic poems 😂 Maybe the caliph of Baghdad Haron Al Rashid is Persian and Abbasid caliphate also Persians 😂 their are some Persian characters but these stories aren't absolutely Persian so stop crying here please
@@mohammedkh4321 it was written in Arabic.

The real reason why it is called the Arabian nights is because it was translated during the Islamic golden age in the city of Baghdad and later by the French during the 19 th century it has been rewritten many times changing names places also adding other stories making it a large collection of stories but the real story took place in sassanid empire which engulfed most of Iran Pakistan Afghanistan and some parts of northern India so most of the stories are from this region some from china as well

It was written by Harun Al Rashid...in Arabic ...from Baghdad..... During the abbasid empire......I hope you get your answer...it's predominantly Muslim stories..
It’s called colonization… arab colonized the entire region, ans since they didn’t have a culture of their own they had to brand the cultures they stole as “arabian” or “Muslim” colonization usually works like that unfortunately
So why is it called arabian nights?
This story was written by the time of abbasid caliphate in Baghdad in Iraq. Read history.
Because it was written in Baghdad 🇮🇶
