  • In this soft spoken ASMR video, I tell you about the History of the Great Wall, the "Ten-Thousand Mile Wall" (万里长城) and, through it, the history of Ancient China from the birth of civilization around the Yellow River and the Yangtze River to the Ming Dynasty, the last one to maintain and expand the Wall.

The transitions you have made, from when you started to now, is incredible. I have always found your voice to be very very relaxing, and I have always enjoyed listening to your facts about amazing topics, like planets, or ghost towns. My all time favorite one you have ever done, is the 4 hour Space Exploration video you made. It was absolutely awesome, and the amount of facts just blew me away.

    Not to denigrate the ASMR-tists who crinkle cellophane / clink beads / brush hair and stuff...
    But this is a work of genius. This is the ASMR equivalent of a epic tale, like from Homer, or The 1001 Arabian Nights. This is Orientalism in a good way, without all the niggling over cultural appropriation (how benighted and colonialist of me)
    In short, both a National Geographic presentation and a Balm of Gilead

      They are often exquisite, and not necessarily super expensive because a lot were produced for export. As far as I know prices can start in the US$100-200 range and climb with rarity, up to several millions for imperial vases.
      I'd rather spend a few hundred dollars on a 400 years old vase that I like, than on clothing or a decoration item that was produced 3 months ago. That must be why I keep hoarding antiques ;).
