So I just listened an astronomer talk about meteors. I learned that despite the massive heat and spectacular flames generated by a meteor falling through the atmosphere is still often not enough to heat the core of the meteor, which is the super cold temperature of space. This means that meteors are often cold to the touch shortly after impact. They are literally objects of both ice and fire
You know crazy weird though what if the Pearl throne is like a preposterous huge ambergris marble. Then it's made of like leviathan whale vomit and ground kraken squid teeth. Turned into... perfume?
In the video Dave compared the Ironborn to both Vikings and North American arctic hunter-gatherers. During the medieval period when Norse sailors expired the North Atlantic and established settlements in Iceland, Greenland and even as far as the Canadian maritimes. In Greenland they encountered and traded, primarily for Walrus ivory, with the Thule people, who as far as we know were migratory hunter-gatherers. Given his rather extensive knowledge of history, George may have been inspired by the real life historical meeting between the "first-men like" Thule people and the strange foreign mariners from across the sea.
yeah so I watched a great doc about the Thule, that's where I learned about the Cape York / Anghito meteor. It didn't occur to me that that meeting might have been an inspiration for Ironborn history tho, cool idea
@@DavidLightbringer I've always had this feeling that Westeros is a bit like a historical "what if" of what the Americas would be like if Europeans had colonized them in the Medieval period instead of the Renaissance... but also magic and dragons.
Your mention of how "the fire of the gods" represents knowledge and technology, or in Martin's world, magical knowledge, actually reminded me of Jack Vance's "Dying Earth" series and how magic and knowledge are almost completely indistinguishable in that world. Interestingly, George R.R. Martin edited a massive anthology of stories set in the Dying Earth universe, so maybe that's an influence on his work just as Tolkien and Lovecraft are.
If youve read Snowcrash maybe you also got the same impression from Ancient Sumeria due to how it's discussed? I did but i cant be sure im justified in that
The Grey King's skin eventually going grey and him descending under the waves sounds a lot like the deep ones hybrid life cycle. Back to the watery halls of R'lyeh. I noticed the Jacen Burrows artwork from Alan Moore's Neonomicon, which gives a disturbing version of the deep ones' mating habits.
@@DavidLightbringer Definitely. It's part of a trilogy starting with The Courtyard, ending with Providence. As GRRM shows the grim reality of feudal existence so Moore shows the 'reality' of what Lovecraft implies. There's a shit load of forced skinchanging in there as well. That bit's mostly riffing on Lovecraft's The Thing on the Doorstep, involving an Innsmouth deep one hybrid.

The theory about the islands being connected to Westeros by a land bridge is almost a direct parallel to the United Kingdom. There was once a very fertile section of land that attached the United Kingdom to Europe, called Doggerland. It disappeared when the sea levels rose.
@@pyropulseIXXI calm down ffs. I am well aware of the size of it, as is anyone who has heard about it. lol. I am by no means referring to the U.S. Public Land Survey System when I say "section of land." So, there are no units of measurement associated with that phrase in my context.
I would say that Westeros’s equivalent to Doggerland would be the stepstones and the surrounding land which was destroyed by the Hammer of the Waters edit: I originally said ‘The Hammer of Dorne,’ I realized my mistake and fixed it
@@zhun9989 The step stones would be more analogous to the northern land bridge that humans used to enter the Americas or the land bridge they used to enter South America from North America. Where as the Iron Islands being once connected to Westeros is almost a perfect match for the British isles once being connected to Europe (Doggerland).
what is dead may never die ✊🏻🦑 Seriously, your dedication and work are absolutely unparalleled, my dudethanks for all you do to uncover and explore every layer and give us new insights so we may further appreciate this already brilliant series.
Super excited to watch this, have been following this for a few months. This seems to be the most plausible explanation for the unique culture on the iron islands. It is very interesting how the squishers have come from just a reference in the intricate world-building to something that is important to the understanding of the story. Oh and Rhaegar did a great job with the ad, great job Rhaegar.
Let Rhaegar know he did a brilliant job!! Also "SQIUDADDLED" LMFAO !!! Im so going to try to use that word in a nornal convo while im at work todsy!!! Excellent
Congrats on nabbing a CS spon, they’re a great site and so “you” (and Rhaegar). As for the video: loving this series. The deep-dives into the world are fabulous
Another absolute banger from the most in-depth and thought provoking ASOIAF UA-camr. Amazing stuff as always, David! Already looking forward to the next one!
I first thought that Naga was a "normal" dragon and that when it died they used its bones to construct the Longhall. Similar to how settlers would repurpose the wood from their ships for buildings. Also if one of the Grey Kings was a Dragon Lord from Asshai it would fit the ship metaphor pretty well (traveled over on dragon/ship then used the remains of the dragon/ship to construct a building).
You really shine a light on how much thought and effort into the world building and the layered references George puts. It's not just a flat set piece. It's narrative within narrative all the way down. Honestly the secret sauce of his writing.
Every few months I'll see a video from this channel get recommended and i binge it for a while. Iron Islands and their weird lovecraftian stuff is probably my favorite part of Ice and Fire lore so I'm very happy that youtube reminded me of this channel right now. Always love the content.
Regarding shipping heavy things like the sea stone chair. Ships from the old world were often loaded with local stone for ballast for the trip to the “new world”. Then the empty ships loaded up with plunder and resources for the trip home. Eg. Toronto’s old city hall is built from Scottish sandstone, despite the presence of local Ontario sandstone of similar quality. Ballast to keep the ships loaded down enough to sail right. Cheers, love your videos, thank you.

Wonderful video on the Ironborn, I'm really enjoying this series. The CS piece was great. Your making your sponsorship segments fun and funny, causes me to watch instead of fast forward. Rhagar makes a humorous unemployed room mate at loose ends.
Thanks for another great video! I like the Ironborn chapters for the characters but I've never been very interested in their place in ASOIAF lore. I saw this thumbnail and thought that of all people, LML could make me become interested. And I was right! The Vikings and "Danes" thing made facepalm so hard, oh george
Ive always found the Iron Isles lore the most interesting of Westeros next to House Dayne and the Hightower, soemthing connects all of them, Dawn, the Hightower, Grey King etc
So excited for this!!! Also love the sponsor bit!!! So happy you finally got them as a spon! 😊 (I haven’t even finished the ad read year but it’s perfect)
I wonder if there were different metals in the meteors depending on which moon they came from. Maybe the smaller meteors were more mixed between the 2 and it made it easier to turn into weapons and tools like Dawn. Maybe there were even different magical processes used on the meteors of the different moons to turn them into weapons and tools
I like the reference to the Nagas, serpent beings of ancient Asian religion that can be found in waterways and are not spirits you want to piss off. George really does pull inspiration from everywhere.

Your videos always are so good at helping connect all those vague ideas that float around in my head that some things must be connected! It's amazing. Three things come to mind while listening: first, while I do agree that the First Men were likely one of the groups of people that contributed their culture and genetics to the Iron Islands, I don’t know if we can jump to the conclusion this is because they were a separate faction yet. I think it's likely, but an alternative explaination could easily be the practice of thralldome. Once people from thr mainland were captured (often First Men), they were made thralls. But if someone was a Salt Wife, she'd raise her children to have at least some First Men culture. Not to mention, Thrall's children at considered Ironborn, with all of the rights of Ironborn. It has to be that the Ironborn would have a ton of First Men from thr Thrall and Salt Wife blood alone. Second, could the Grey King be connected to the Barrow Kings? Both associated with death, being grey would come from getting cursed to rot away like a dead person, and if the Barrow Kings were enemies of the Children of the Forest (maybe? Or turned away from the old gods once on the islands) perhaps that explains why he is credited with getting rid of the "cannibal" tree, Igg (weirdeood tree)? Can't wait to see your next video to know if you talk about anything to do with the Weirwoods (and MAYBE the Barrow kings...)
So I just listened an astronomer talk about meteors. I learned that despite the massive heat and spectacular flames generated by a meteor falling through the atmosphere is still often not enough to heat the core of the meteor, which is the super cold temperature of space. This means that meteors are often cold to the touch shortly after impact. They are literally objects of both ice and fire
This is so cool! TIL, thanks!
Hmm defo doesn't apply to all meteorites. Some have compounds that can only be produced at high heats and pressures.
@@j3fr0ukthat heat is not coming from entry friction, but from massive collisions in the early solar system.
Cool!
Now that's hella cool
The idea that Ygg is Naga works amazing for theories. A tree eats with it's roots, which makes the throne from Nagga's jaw a seat of weirwood roots.
oh I never thought about the roots being the mouth of the tree. that's dope
