Let's establish our capital* next to these beautiful volcanoes.

It would be so interesting to have a tv show about the rise and fall of Valyria.

I had this weird thought. What if bran could look back in time and see how the valyrians made their steel?

Valyria is pretty much a mash up of the real Greek and Roman civilizations.

I think the Targaryens were the lowest dragon lord house of Valyria. Why else would they leave besides the word of one girl.

The Doom is just a really bad pompei

I think the Doom was the cost of all the magic the dragon lords used over the centuries. Magic has a cost.

The city was towers with the dragons flying above them, wow it's bad enough with pigeons ...

Valyria Freehold basically Roman Republican.

So if it is true, that all 14 volcanoes erupted at the same time, it is highly likely, that there were in fact a supervolcano, like Yellowstone and the phlegraean fields, with every crater just beeing one weak point over a huge magma chamber. Beeing that close together would fit that picture. Not only would the timeframe fit, as supervolcanoes do tend to sleep for a long time between eruptions, like 100,00 years,, but the amount of destruction would also be fitting. If we take a look at the 1883 eruption of Krakatoa, we can see a similar picture here: The Indonesian vulcanic island of Krakatoa exploded in a massive VEI6 and literally destroyed itself to the point, that only a small part of the island remained. The main body of the vulcano was ripped apart. The eruptions shockwave was felt 180km away, where it still shook houses and furniture and the sound of the explosion is said to have travelled the globe three times. It also generated a 100m high tsunami, that killed people around the sunda strait. A supervolcanic eruption can reach a VEI 8 or even higher (an VEI 7 eruption is ten times as strong as an VEI6). And like we see in Italy around Mt. Vesuvius, areas around vulcanoes are so fertile that the are beeing re-settled despite the danger. If the Romans were unaware that their Mt. Vesuvius was a volcano, the sheep herders of Valyria could've been, too. It could be a plausible theory to what the Doom of Valyria was.

We need a valyrian book from G.R.R.M

I wish we could see Daenerys learn about the history of Valyria and her dragonlord ancestors

Being genuine here, whycreate has some of the best video descriptions ever. Maybe it’s cause I love asoiaf but I never get bored with these

Mantarys has more or less been assumed to have been so obsessed with inbreeding to keep that bit of Valyrian blood pure, that it has led to extreme inbreeding, resulting in a lot of siamese twins, explaining the two heads or extra limbs.

Last time I was this early Valyria was still alive.

I recommend anyone who is interested in ASOIAF history to play a game called "Crusader Kings 2 : GOT mod".... IMO, its the best strategy game ever and you can play most of the title-wielding characters in got history all over westros and essos through anytime line. Its not easy to understand at first but once you gets it you will be hooked. It has every detail/info that you mention in this video

Trained slingers can hurl lead or stone bullets over 90mph, and lead bullets are sharp on each end. There's no "somehow" about it.

You've quickly become one of my go-to sources for all things GoT. Keep doing what you're doing man!

There is some new info about Valyria in the new Fire and Blood book, about a Targerian princess who flew there on a dragon and got infested by strange parasites so big it made her skin bulge when they moved. Pretty messed up stuff.

I would love a book or books about the Valyrian Freehold documenting their rise and fall or a tv show or movie, I find their history really interesting plus I want to see all the dragons... i am really curious as to what caused their doom, and how they learned to tame and control dragons and use magic
