You are such a class act for not monetizing these videos, still, after years of building your audience. I hate how KZbin pairs bright, loud ads with ASMR content. Thank you so much for your art.

[@helioselexandros]

That's the most annoying shit ever. Starting to doze off then a loud commercial blasts through😢 why

[@paush51]

- KZbin Vanced or - Adblockers (soon no longer with chrome) I hear everyone complaining about youtube ads but havent seen a youtube ad since 2-3 years. Maybe Im a part of the problem, but then they just wants to make profits $$$. For dessert I present the Sponsor Block addon, which just skips sponsored segments in many videos :)

It’s always a fight between wanting to learn and your voice making it so easy for me to sleep. Gonna have to watch this one several times.

[@obcl8569]

I have been happily, sleepily fighting that for years too! Another reason I’m excited for this new podcast/channel😊🤓👩🏻‍🏫📖📚🥱😴💤📻

[@ivym7661]

First thought when I saw this video was honestly; "duh, the lost legion is locked in an everlasting battle to protect our dimension from aliens, behind a portal under an ancient hill in Scotland, do people not pay attention when Doctor Who is on?" I really love how all of your topics somehow touch on something I'm interested in, it's fascinating to learn from you. Congratulations on your new channel!

[@obcl8569]

But like why does that actually sound reasonable though? lol, unaware of the Dr Who narrative but I but it sounds plausible & logical to me 😂😊

[@jenA9026]

Best comment award from me to you 👏👏👏

[@leonlaisnebass4319]

[@blueseptember314]

I don't think I would ever characterize your English as "dubious." I am a native speaker and rarely have problems understanding these wonderful videos.

[@thisismyyoutubecommentacco6302]

Honestly while it's ASMR I really come for both the history and the soothing and relaxing voice. What's weird if I never listen to you to sleep, but you have the perfect voice for me to listen to while I'm working as it just kind of calms me down and makes the work day much more relaxing. I'll definitely check out lights out library, sounds right up my alley as well.

[@AmirKMilbes]

I love how you use your hands and ornaments while you bless us with your soothing voice. You are an angel created by God. Love your voice and channel.

[@heathercotton7528]

Yes, i agree with other comments, your English is absolutely understandable. Your accent is the main reason I listen to yr work.

[@BelleMichele99]

man this has really changed my life. on nights i don’t listen, i stay up for hours mind racing heart beating out of my chest overwhelmed with thoughts. and i am not an anxious person, i consider myself quite resilient and laid back. but i am soooo dependent on these videos in order to fall asleep. unless i’m travelling and completely exhausted about to pass out, the airpods are coming to bed with me! 🤣

[@lieeeleeee]

So excited to have a new video! I’ve almost exhausted your back catalogue for the second time so anything new is so great! I have enjoyed listening to lights out library to get a slightly different verse of the stories I already love

[@ingvarharaldsson677]

I like you way of narrating and your accent and will stay with your channel! No way I will switch))

You're a treasure. Thank you so much for all the work and time you put into these.

[@patriciapoole2571]

The Ninth Legion mystery, known to lots of us from our childhood by the novel The Eagle of the Ninth, by Rosemary Sutcliff (and a movie I think w Joaquim Phoenix) has always been one of my favourite stories, so very happy that you’ve chosen to tell the story here. I so enjoy ur ASMR work, and always prefer to listen via youtube to watch the lovely calming videos that you make to go along with ur narration. I hope ur new channel is a success, I’ve just had a listen to a couple of videos, and commented; I really wish you well with it. Only …. don’t forget about us, will you? Part of what makes this channel so successful is exactly the things which you think might be off putting to a wider audience, your ‘dubious’ english (it really isn’t!) and ur accent. Combined with the range of interesting stories, they make the perfect ASMR; ur services are still greatly needed here, so don’t leave us behind, please. I did wonder why you haven’t included a link back to this channel? Might be an idea.

[@moby4177]

How about death by administration? Hadrian’s Wall was built about 60 years after the Londinium defeat. If new soldiers were added to the legion (new recruits), they would have been nearing retirement around the same time. They retired to the local area on land “provided” by Rome and started (continued?) to raise families. The defence on the area turned from Roman legion to local troops that were the sons of the soldiers. This deterioration of defence cause troubles, which lead to the building of Hadrian’s Wall. When the wall was built, the local troops were then enough and what was left of the ninth were sent to join another legion on the continent. Death by administration.

[@anthonytroisi6682]

I doubt that contemporary writers would have "bragged" about the defeat of the 9th Legion, explaining the lack of references. I think that Britain was always intended an area for retired Roman soldiers. It is possible that so many soldiers retired in Britain that it was practical to reorganize the legions with the result that the 9th Legion disappeared. By having large numbers of veterans located on the northern border, it is probable that Rome thought that the retirees could form a militia to protect their homes and families that American colonists formed to protect themselves against the indigenous population. Hadrian's Wall served as more than a protection for the Romans. It was a significant way to tax imports and exports. It indicates there was enough contact between the Caledonians and Romans to make such trade sustainable. Could the Roman Legions have been reconstituted as a form of "Border Patrol" with small units serving in outposts along Hadrian's Wall?
