ASMR A Map of England (soft spoken)

Hallo, hallo, how are you all? Today we're looking at a map of England - again, a lovely gift that appeared in my post box. Thank you, Thijmen!! This one was a fun topic to prepare, for one because the language on the map is wild, but also because I finally learned where all these cities are that I learned about back in the day, watching hours and hours of Premiere League football... Not because I was such a big fan myself, but there was just no way to escape it, being with friends from England. Sundays were football and endless cups of tea.
So maybe make yourself a cup, get comfortable, and I promise, no football talk in this one. We'll look more at Anglo-Saxons and Vikings!

hahaha i (the guy who sent this map) had this Dutch elementary school teacher who loved these maps. he always had nice/interesting stories about the past, including late ww2 and early space age. no wonder he had these NG maps laying around ;). i won it over a decade ago now when he was finally retiring after 55 years of teaching. as a gift he held these bingo games with memorabilia from his home. he told me that it was quite famous. back then i could not yet understand english so i just loved the artwork on it without really paying attention to it. anyways, enough rambling, i loved the asmr video and thank you, miss Melange ASMR!

The strange prayer about shipwrecks is an old folk song - it’s because of the tradition of wrecking in Cornwall whereby those that find wreckage and cargo washed ashore had the right to claim it. Cornwall is famous for its shipwrecks due to the coast and had a reputation historically for intentionally luring ships to wreck through false lights etc. People still to this day believe salvaging wreckage that washes up is their right (even though it is illegal!). Cornwall also has a long and interesting history with smuggling. It’s a very interesting place. Cornwall has a very distinct identity from the rest of England, even its immediate neighbouring areas.

Re the wrecks, in the 18th century, there were poor communities living along the shipping routes, and there was kind of an unwritten rule that if a wreck happened, they could loot for food and other goods. So, they didn't wish ill on the sailors. But they did kind of wish for wrecks! If you've ever seen the television program Poldark, it illustates this well.

Nice to hear your soft ASMR and watch that pointer of yours weave its magic. Lovely colours on your jumper. Great map - always fascinating exploring the British Isles. Your language skills are excellent for homing in on its prehistory. Totally bewildering, but really enjoyable to the ear, how some of them speak over in Cornwall. Looking forward to your forthcoming Ireland map video🙂 You may be interested in how Ralph Ellis has unveiled King Arthur as primarily an Edessan/Levant/Roman story with powerful linkages to Egypt and Parthia. Chester, England playing a huge role in this story with the Roman fortress Diva Victrix.
