ok soo how here thinks the Valyrian freehold is G.R.R martins allegory for the roman empire. need proof? the gischary wars is an allegory for the Carthaginian wars[look it opp on google] the way the valyrians ruled their empire is simuler to the way the Romans ruled theirs, and also westeros is an allegory for the British isles.and also also the doom of valyria is an allegory for the volcanic event that killed of the population of Pompeii.
Alexander the loremaster Alexander the loremaster I always thought it was inspired by the myth of Atlantis
Alexander the loremaster Alexander the loremaster I always thought of Westeros more like China with the Seven Warring states period and the one Emperor who United the whole country, the wall also a landmark much like Chinas Great Wall made to keep invaders (Wights, Wildlings etc..) as the Chinese did for the Mongols.. but yeah Essos pretty much being Europe with the Roman Empire or Valyrians etc..
Ezra Tupu The equivalent of China is actually a civilisation called Yiti in he Far East of Essos - it's ruled by a 'God Emperor' - it's has been a nation since just after the Long Night - so 8,000 years, and is considered one of the most civilised and advanced, if mysterious and isolationist, nations in George R.R Martin's world. The Valyrian Freehold is based on Rome - starting if as a Republic for all of its citizens, but turning into a corrupt Empire that spread across huge distances, becoming arguably the greatest, most powerful and influential civilisation in George R.R Martin's world. It utilised huge numbers of slaves just like Rome, defeated and conquered it's only real rival - the Ghisgari Empire, the equivalent of Carthage, and even after its destruction it's legacy shaped the entire Of Planetos (what the world is called). The most likely equivalent of Westeros is difficult to decide... there is no civilisation in history that it is remarkable similar to, however if I had to name one it would be Byzantine, simply due t the fact the Byzantium Empire was the direct legacy of the Roman Empire. Whiles Byzantium was simply half of the Roman Emoire which never fell, it was ruled by an Emperor - the King of Westeors, had various provinces like the Seven Kingdoms had Kingdoms, and was created by Aegon Targaryen, the leader of the last true Valyrian family, as a result of the fall of Valyria, ideally meant to be his new Valyrian Empire - just like Byzantium was the new Roman Empire after the fall of the West
Ezra Tupu nah, Westeros is the British isles. With the war of the five kings being the war of the roses, the red wedding being the black dinner, Aegon the conquerer being Willam the Conquerer, the seven kingdoms being the seven Anglo-Saxon petty kingdoms before they were united into the kingdom of England, and the ice wall being Hadrian's Wall.
hybridjack no actually Volantis is the ASOIAF(and game of thrones) version of the byzantine empire.
Now I want to see a spin-off tv show about the doom of Valyria
Valyrians - Romans Dothraki - Mongols/Huns
Gischary - Carthage Westeros - Britian
Valyria - Rome First Men - Britons
The Doom - The sack of Rome Andals - Saxons
The free cities - Feudal Europe Aegon the Conqueror - William the Conqueror
The North - Northumbria the Wall - Hadrian's Wall
House Stark - House of York House Lannister - House of Lancaster
Targaryns - House of Plantagnet Wildlings - Picts/Scots
Oldtown - London Winterfell - York
Ironborn - Vikings/Danes old gods - pagan religions of early Britain
Faith of the Seven - Christianity Hardhome - Edinburg
Game of Thrones - War of the Roses
I think the doom was an amalgam of the sinking of Atlantis and destruction of Pompeii
cool. Probably London. Not Berlin or Paris. I think the free cities as they are currently depicted in the Books are better suited as the continental cities of Europe, as Westeros is literally the map of Britain with a few changes.
I think The Doom was the fall of the mighty Roman empire, which started with the sack of Rome by the Visigoths, could also be like a kind of mix of all these stories that Martin just used for Valyria for ex. Mighty empire - Valyria (Rome) destroyed in one day (Atlantis) and with sudden fire (Pompeii).
Ernst Gottschalk I think both the Ironborn and wildlings are representatives of Danes and Vikings. And the Valyrians are analogous of Aryans. Plus George said that the Seven were more specifically analogous of Catholicism. Plus plus, Aegon the Conquerer is obviously like William the Conquerer or Genghis Khan.
Ernst Gottschalk indeed
you haven't researched this properly have you? no mention of Wales being an inspiration of Martin's works! don't want to go into detail...you can google it but the red wedding and daenrys's landing were both welsh things!
Yes! I'm glad you're still pushing vids out man. Highly underrated
Thanks mate! Appreciate it!
They should make a TV Series for these. These are more interesting than the GOT
The punic wars lol , i got that vibe instantly , respect to GRRM
How can the Valyrians being in Oldtown predate the First Men? The Freehold did not rise until after the Long Night. And the First Men had lived in Westeros for thousands of years by then.
That is just a theory made by one of maesters
Ben Agaran The valyrians rmpore didint exist during the Long Night but the PEOPLE did.
Empire
Ben Agaran What's to say the current history of Valyria as we know it now is all a lie?
The measters are from medieval times. In our world, we've learned that most medieval theories on the history of the world, were wrong. The most learned people claimed that the world was 6000 years old but they did not have the technological advancements we have today, to better understand the history of our world. On Planetos; it seems that civilization started waaaay earlier. Earlier than the measters can even imagine. Besides, how are they going to be accurate about a period before writing was invented and recorded, on a Planet that has such irregular seasons. I imagine that Planetos is a planet, terraformed by humans and then suddenly, something went terribly wrong.
Holy shit this is EPIC.. good job.
Thanks for the kind words!
Valayria sounds like a fusion of Ancient Thera before its eruption during the Late Bronze Age that influenced Atlantis, Rome, and the Normans under William the Conqueror.
so good it's like real history
Good song choice
In the pines, in pines, where the sun don't ever shine
Poor Yunkai, didn't make the cut :'(
Nice version of Nirvana!
If the Valyrians were simple sheep-herders, where'd they get magic from to tame the dragons?
Blood magic of some sort.
this guy is repeating exactly what it says on the wiki
i just had this thought, you know how people in the asoiaf world keep talking about defeating the long winter and the long night and getting to an age of the endless summer, what if it altready happened at valyria, what if the fire has won and that is what we got, ice and fire seem like two extremes that should be balanced, the show shows us unregular seasons and the magic of one or the other getting stronger and weaker, what if both ice and fire are the enemy and the song of the earth(old gods) are actually the good guys?, because both fire and ice are death to life ... while life, death, blood, growth and time are the signs of it, you can use cold or warm but going too much into any of those is folly, despite gruesome, the blood that waters the plants, that feed the animals that feed the carnivores is more of a cycle and actually representing the idea of ongoing life, because if its a cold shadow or a shadow made by "light"(fire), its all just shadows of life in the end and not actual life .... tell me what you think
The nirvana intro though
Where is this guy from?!
Assos...
zeechceez ass 🍑 👀
the intro music is from nirvana i think. does anybody know the song?
The actual name of the song is In The Pines but it is commonly called Where Did You Sleep Last Night. It is an old, American folk song. The version in the beginning of the video is indeed Nirvana's version of the song from their MTV Unplugged album.
thx man, i had this melody going around in my head for quite some time now but i just couldn´t recall where it was from or what the lyrics were.
Great video.
Would be far better if you were consistent in your pronounciation of V and W.
You make the city in volcano
One part I do not understand.....if the Valyrian people were just peaceful sheep herding people, then how did they tame Dragons with magic? They were sheep herders and magicians then?
They made a deal with the "Devil" in that universe you see that the people from the Shadow Lands claim Dragons are originally from there.
Sadly you don't know much about Valyria itself, guess not much is know before the Doom.
As to me, valyrians were worse than dothraki, ghiscari and ironborn combined. Greedy slavers whose thirst for power led to their extinction. I am sure Faceless Men and braavosi, who are former slaves of valyrians, won't allow dragonlords rule over the realm. Some knowledge should better stay hidden. So it is with the magic of Valyria, so it is with the dragons.
Some knowledge is still hidden on Westeros. The Targaryens forgot why they could'nt hatch dragon eggs at some point. I bet the Citadel had a hand in it. What with pushing for marriages between Targaryens and non-Valeryan nobles. Don't the Hightowers have Valerian features? They do come from Oldtown? Maybe the Measters wanted dragons under Hightower rule and oust the Targaryens?
It's count Dracula
I think the Valyrians themselves were an analogy to the idea of Aryans or some sort of Master race. The fair skin, blondish white hair, and purple eyes which could easily be mistaken for blue in a certain light.
I think it's a genetic mutation, passed on within a genetic bottleneck. The Valerians have a greater tolerance to heat and radiation. They call it 'magic' but some theorists claim that anything that is thought of as 'magic' in medieval times, is considered scientific fact in modern times.
all of this is from those 5 books???
G.R.R.M. has got other books about The Known World as well. Dunk and Egg series for example. Check them out. Not only those 5 books, not at all.
ScrivaTV i knew he had other books set in this universe, but how many are there?
How come bravos didn't submit n was not destroyed by dragons
Because they were hidden. Nobody knew there was a city there.
U gotta make up your mind how you pronounce v and w.
Shouldn't Dragons have 2 arms, 2 feet and 2 wings? why do Dany's Dragons have only legs and wings?
OK Senpai
Martin wanted them more Bat like
Vwisios
Good vid but 26sec intro is absurdly long.
try to translate this into real world places lol
Wow great effort you literally copied the wiki page
your accent is da best =)
he is Braavosi
Valeria and dawn is black history. Valeria is Atlantis' dawn is africa
Say it with me..."Wes-teros"...."Es-sos"....Ennngliiiisssh lol
A Mc and that is no english
20 second intro and an accent that makes him mispronounce everything couldnt get me past 1 minute...
Cry more, little bitch. No offense.
shut yer mouth twerp.
Dude his content is practically encyclopedic but also entertaining.. Probably spends more time than GRRM does on writing TWoW lol
I can forgive the ocasional mispronunciations easily.
Bro that was nirvana culture yourself
If men in current age Game of Thrones can reforge Valyrian steel than it's not magical. A lot of what the author says is inaccurate but it would take all day to go line by line. This channel gets a DOWN!
I thought they can reforge already made Valyrian steel but they couldn't actually make More Valyrian steel. Making the material is the magical part. Reforging requires great blacksmithing still but no magic.
