Earhart, you mean. :)

wouldn't that be the targaryen princess that flew for years over sothoros?

She wasn't a Targaryen. She was a Valyrian noblewoman.

She was a Valyrian Dragonlord, and she returned from her three year journey across Sothoryos, so doesn't really work as a comparison to Earhart, but Elissa Farman does.

Puns? Y u do dis?

Shame shame shame

@@princeprocrastinate6485 *rings the bell*

Lol

Don Alfonzoh I was thinking the same thing when I read that!

He already has a video to this, yes he believes it

That is what happened

Without a doubt

He literally said so in the video geez

I like this explanation. Intriguing.

IDK, I think she would have passed lands that are the equivalent of the Americas. If there is no New World, then where did the cranberries on Dragonstone float in from? The same place as the potatoes, and that one turkey Theon saw? Preposterous.🔴🥔🦃

There could be any number of theories for how Sun Chaser ended up in Asshai. Theory 1: Farman failed to cross the Sunset Sea and was blown back to the Summer Isles or Sothryos, like Eustace Hightower was. Two things could have happened then: her ship could’ve been seized by pirates who sailed the ship east after killing her entire crew, or...... Theory 2: .....Failing in her mission and fearing arrest by the Targaryens, Farman could’ve sailed east herself and become a merchantman, forging a new identity for herself and her surviving crew. Theory 3: Elissa or her ship did circumnavigate the globe, encountering only God knows what along the way, and ended up in Asshai, to an uncertain fate. Theory 4: Corlys Velaryon was lying or embellishing his tale, something that sailors are wont to do.

@@garcalej I think theory 3 personally

@@garcalejtheory 3 most likely

Cogs/galleys/drummens traveled at an average of 4-5 knots while Viking long ships could travel between upwards of 14-18 knots but her ship was the knewest design specifically built for the open oceans,... So let's split the difference and say her ships we're averaging 8-10 knots, over a two week period, that equals a little more than 3800 miles. That's like New York to Paris. So not a trivial distance,... And remember she specifically was sailing in the opposite direction from known land masses.

She was in a storm though, which might have blown the ships a long way in either direction.

@@PastaPutin She was not They were, and then she found them again. The story though dubious as it is, is very clear on that and, at least, this part seems to be above the board. Additionally they all had clear skies and fair sailing for nearly two weeks out of Oldtown before any inclimate weather. They would have been making excellent time, Which btw for a 200 ft boat( only guessing this length because the ship has four masts) the theoretical hull speed(which is kind of a minimum maximum speed estimation for nautical design) during fair weather is around 18 knots.(square root of hull length at water line times 1.34) So no they traveled at least the distance I conservatively estimated if not further. Westhill certainly did because she traveled further then went back again to search for Hightower when he had got caught by the storm. But more to the point even if you cut my estimate in half they are still to far away from the Summer Isles for Hightower to have assumed that those Islands were closer than traveling straight back to Westeros.(They literally started their journey by traveling in a direction nearly opposite to the direction the Summer Isles are from Oldtown) That is just a factor of math not opinion and Course corrections due to weather do not account for thousands of miles. That is why you know that Hightower is lying about at least part if not the entire story after He and Westhill part ways in the Three Targaryen Islands . Either they had already made it around "the horn" so to speak, and Hightower spent his missing year and a half (His recorded account only takes into account a year and a half of his three years away from Oldtown) traveling around Sothoyros or Planetos is far far bigger than Earth is.

Christopher Mitchell Didn't the video say they lacked wind for sailing?

@@wschippr1 Then they wouldnt have had gone very far to begin with,...and the story makes less sense. No Fire and Blood is clear they had two weeks of fair winds and calm skies and then the troubles started. Once they find the Targeryen namesake Islands and part ways; Eustice uses the distance between those Islands and Westeros as an excuse for why he ended up so far off course when "returning" home as to end up in Sothoryos. Further more when one adds up the mentioned time frames in Fire and Blood that Eustice states as the duration of his and his crew's lay overs/ transit times there is a year and a half of missing time.,...All this (if we except his lie as fact) within a sea that we know is navigable by his own testimony. Quote an "Ibbenese Whaler" being seen on their voyage out of Westeros and not long before the first storm hits. I wrote up my thoughts months ago on the amino linked below. aminoapps.com/c/gotamino18/page/blog/where-did-he-go-george-where-did-he-go/KzoE_KxIMuRkamVVdEJdkVG62lVk5LdWx6

If Westeros and Essos are in fact connected through a land bridge to the north and therefore one continent, this would fall through.

Grrm said they are NOT connected through a Land Bridge

🇵🇭

@@Rickuo The Arm of Dorne (which was the land bridge you refer to and is in the South) was destroyed by the Children of the Forest.

@@Dornan77802 I wasn't speaking of the Arm of Dorne. I was speaking of a possible connection between the north of Westeros and the far east of Essos beyond the Five Fortresses.

totally agree

Probably thats why she says her "to travel west you must go east..." since she already have done that and knows that world is round and its also literal

Dan the Man nah she Melisandre

Kacpa2 Melisandre

She didn't have many options, though. Dragonstone was a mistake but only restrospectively. Where else could they live? It's said there were rumours about Rhaena long before that and someone would eventually ruin it anyway. Even Lannisters were asking if her marriage with Androw was consumated - they smelled an opportunity. At least this gave them some chance.

@@vojtechjehlicka7000 Rhaena could have gone across the sea towards Essos - certainly Elissa would have loved to sail across the narrow sea and see the Free Cities.

It's the problem of deep relationship you make in your teen-young adulthood. It's based on dreams about the future. If one have given up on those dreams and one haven't...

@@TheFiresloth Exactly - Rhaena wanted to settle down to a quiet existence on 'her' Dragonstone while Elissa wanted to fulfill her childhood dream of sailing beyond the horizon. She just wasn't prepared to give that up.

very true I think that Rhaena should go with her and her daughter too.

Please don't mention the last season

@@shitdegekk what last season?

What is the CK2 mod?

@@guilhermesantos8728 A game of thrones

the videos theory is too far fetched but this isnt!?

I think Elissa actually became to be Melisandre, if you take attention, Melisandre name is a mixture of Elissa, Andrew and Rhaena

@@Cromenockle No,Not at all.

@@Complexcore-lz8de you can't say that for sure, and yes I know Melisandre recalls her childhood, but that could be just a lie so that no one finds out who she was.

Where do you get that she didn't expect their reaction? She flew to Braavos where she knew they wouldn't turn her to valyrians and where the bravoosi could counter Jaeherys' threats with 'certain guild that is good at their job'. Ships are expensive - good ships even more so, supplies are expensive, crew is really expensive because she had to hire adventurers, not just common hands that would mutiny after one week. She concealed her identity and she sailed to Oldtown, the center of knowledge where she could expect sympathetoc minds. All her gambles proved to be correct. She knew exactly what she was doing.

@@vojtechjehlicka7000 Elissa was lucky, not correct. She managed to trick many people, the only ones who actually liked her where the bravosi, the stole and lied to all the rest.

This is from the new book that GRRM just released in November or December called Fire and Blood Part One. So very new stuff for us to digest. Another book that would interest you is A World of Ice and Fire, however that book makes no mention of Elissa Farman.

Another dragon and the king's brother.

I'm thinking a giant fire wyrm. It grievously wounded Balerion and ended up being the death of Aerea, laying eggs inside her which led to the horror that Septon Barth later described.

You're not wrong.

And what happened to Rhaena's daughter's?

@@Rickuo : Infected by Valyrian fire wyrms. Bad way to go.

I think she drink water with worms but I am not sure who scar the Blediron the Black Dread.

Gotta say Androw got done dirty

its a good surname tbh

Check the end of the video for all music credits.

Yeah that's bullshit. Irish Monk made it out in the 6th century, Vikings made it out in 11th century. Most believed there was nothing but we had gone out there already.

Do you have evidence to support that statement? I'm pretty sure europeans didn't believed there was nothing out there, being the biggest explorers of all time. :)

So did others. The character is incredibly interesting.

He did but it's nice to get someone else's view on the matter.

M - Elissa - ndre Well...

boom31jb maybe in the books don’t see any significance she might have in the show

amal zuhair she in the new show

Eyoel Girma I think she Melisandre

Well, we have the Five Forts in Yi Ti allegedly protecting the empire from the “demons” of The Lion of Night. So maybe you’re right to speculate that that was indeed a play on words.

No, it literally means that she went West further South than everyone else who tried.

AltShiftX believes that those eggs she sold ended up being the eggs Ilyrio gave Daenerys on her wedding day to Khal Drogo

Oh my bad, just realized you were correcting him for saying Pentos instead

@@Aytierrez Illyrio could have just gotten them from Braavos since he does do business all around the world.

I got it. And he’s prob right. But that’s not who they were initially sold to by Elissa.

she was a dragon lord from a different house. before the doom

@@sophiawilson8696 she also flew south to try and go north, not the west to east (but if its like our world that should only make a slight difference)

Or maybe the ship was passed on from captain to captain and just happened to be there when that one dude got there. Or maybe it was an illusion. Or maybe someone created a similar model. This is why I love ASOIAF so much. The possibilities are endless.

That music isn't helping much either

Interesting theory

Some Dragonriders did try but as Alysanne Targaryen mentioned even dragons get tired and need somewhere to rest - a bit of a problem if you have no idea where the nearest solid land is
