					<description><![CDATA[RE: New technology and the likely discovery of the site of the destruction of the Ninth legion.

The story is that this site was discovered totally by accident, as tests were being done of a drone looking for something else entirely.

I suspect that we are in the beginning stages of of a revolution in archeology, led by new sensing technologies, and exemplified by this discovery, by the ongoing discoveries—using airborne  lidar—of the massive, very complex, and widespread remnants of civilizations formerly hidden under the jungle canopies in South America, using  ground penetrating radar and other new sensing technologies in places like Egypt, and, as well, using satellite imagery.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[P.S. Legio IX, Hispana

This was a very famous legion which had a long, and storied two hundred year history--including having fought under the command of Julius Caesar--so the fact of their total erasure from Roman history, after 120 A.D., during Hadrian&#039;s reign, was, indeed, a great and very noticeable mystery.  

There is some speculation that, perhaps, the halt to Roman expansion in Britain, and Hadrian&#039;s building of the Wall might somehow be all of a piece with the disappearance of the Ninth.

Curiously, the quarreling native Caledonian tribes had never been able to unite against the Roman invaders but, in this instance, some tribes apparently did. 

Could they have had some help from Rome to get rid of this &quot;dangerous&quot; Legion?

The skulduggery here is apparently very deep.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[RE:  The fate of Rome&#039;s famed Legio IX, Hispania--

One of the major mysteries in ancient Roman history has been the fate of the famous Ninth Legion, Hispania--a very battle hardened and experienced legion which had been assigned to a number of hot spots, and had successfully engaged in some of the toughest fighting in the Roman world.

It was last stationed in England, in York, and, apparently, sometime between 108 and 120 A.D., it just marched off and disappeared--no mention of them ever again, the legion stuck from the usual list of legions, no monuments were erected to it&#039;s existence and record and, thereafter, the Ninth Legion was never again mentioned by the Emperor, or in the Senate.

Over the centuries all sorts of theories have been proposed as to the Legion&#039;s fate.

In 2024 an overhead survey found what has pretty certainly turned out to be the site of the legion&#039;s last stand in Scotland (many thousands of the the remains of people killed in battle, and among many other indicative findings they&#039;ve also excavated a legionnaire&#039;s ring with the Ninth&#039;s bull insignia at the site). 

Excavations are still underway, and parallel research has also been conducted in various archives—records reexamined, including some new clues in documents and histories in the Vatican Library, which had previously been closed to researchers. 

Given the archeological and documentary evidence found so far, the current theory is that the Emperor and/or the Senate feared that the Ninth Legion—many of whose members were apparently seen as conservative &quot;traditionalists,&quot; some who had also married into Scottish families—and were apparently feared to have “gone native,” thus, the Ninth was no longer seen as reliably 100% Roman in outlook or allegiance.

In other words, the Ninth had become dangerous.

Thus, the Ninth was ordered out into Scotland, into “Indian country,” and it was deliberately left there, surrounded by apparently overwhelming hostile native forces.

Without any of the reinforcements or supplies they requested (an excavated wax tablet attested to this dire situation)—the soldiers of the  Ninth were eventually overwhelmed and slaughtered by the barbarians; problem eliminated.*

					<description><![CDATA[Bob, minimally speaking, it wouldn’t hurt (for anyone, actually) to take a Quercetin capsule once or so daily and supplement your zinc levels if you think they’re low, though one generally gets enough of the latter from a decent diet. 

If you’ve had one or several of the shots/boosters—this wasn’t clear to me—and/or you think you may be suffering from long Covid, you might want to consider Ivermectin, the suppression of which by Fauci &#038; Co. is one of the great crimes of this whole sordid saga—right up there with the whole series of coverups, in fact. 

And then there’s vitamin D to supplement, if needed (though not to exaggerate). 

Best see a physician who knows about these things and is NOT still shackled by the absurd but still far too influential narrative…

Good luck!]]></description>
