      You don't know the difference between a dragon and a wyvern? It's in the legs. 2 legs and wings is a wyvern and 4 legs is a dragon. A drake is like a dragon with no wings.

Or.. it could be 5 days.. and the night king just waited on the dragon to come, and the editing really fucked that up. Hell..

      @@middler5 indeed. Essos is a secondary part of the story. ​With Martin's rhythm of writing, we can't expect seeing the end of ASOIAF before years, so I'm hopeless for more books in Essos and the other continents afterwards. Martin has probably no desire to show us more of these lands, and will never explore further destinations there. Mysteries will stay unsolved.

    I think videos such as this one show exactly how remarkable George R.R Martins actual GoT series is, not to mention his mind for actually coming up with such things. People discussing it, actually talk about the places, people and history, as if it is all actual real world, or something which has really happened. It is believable too, when you hear such discussions, debates, etc and you would actually think the stuff really happened, or was going on now. It really is brilliant how such things can happen when talking about a totally factious world and the people, history, wars and stuff which happened in it.

    Jesus Christ, this map is so vast and has so many different races and factions going in it looks like GRRM planned it to be a 20 book series or making 4-5 different series out of it.
    I knew Essos was large but I didn't even see a map showing that we only knew like 50% of it's western half of it and I've never heard or seen anything about those other 2 contintents at all. I must admit I have only read the first two books so far.

    The world and history are so interesting in this. I'd love a game or something on all this. Or maybe multiple TV shows depicting different time periods. I'd love to learn more about Valyria before it got destroyed, or why and how Asshai and Stygai exist and who created them. And the old on earth from YiTi or the people who might have lived in the city from the thousand islands. SO MUCH lore. Or even the peoples or gods or species that used to live in Sothoryos. There seems to be so much more there and for such a massive continent you'd expect some history and lore. And there's fucking Ulthos. So much lore that could be explored.
    And then there's the fact that as a whole we know so little about the world of GoT. There could be hundreds of other continents and peoples and races and species that we never see.

    This video is awesome because it makes it easy to see how Martin used the real world as inspiration for the GoT world. GRRM confirmed he used the war of the roses as a baseline for GoT. Using that fact, you can see that Westeros is the UK, the Iron Islands is Ireland, and Scotland is the North. My favorite overlap is how its pretty obvious that Valyria is the Roman Empire. Fits perfectly with both the description of the civilization AND its location. Which means Ghis is either referring to the Persian Empire or a combination of the Persian Empire/Greece (basing that on skin color/cultural description, location of both places, and the name Ghis and Greece. Also Persia hit its peek basically right before Rome started doing its thing so that fits perfectly with both real life and GoT as well.) Like I said...this video is super cool lol.

    Just one request, make the audio more clear, for non English speakers, it becomes difficult at times to understand what you are saying. I understand you had to fit a lot of stuff in a short time, but the editing of voice could have been better. Alternatively you can add proper captions for the same. Otherwise its an excellent video, crystallised all the info in a very simple and comprehensive manner. Great job.

    I love how many of these places reflect real history. Westeros is similar to the British isles and the first men and andals were like invaders from mainland Europe, and the children of the forest are like the Celts. The Summer Isle reminds me of Japan, both their fates changed when an explorer’s vessel wandered into their harbors. The Dorne land bridge that used to connect Westeros with Essos is like the land bridge that connected Asia and North America.of course, Valyria was the Roman Empire of A World of Ice & Fire.
