The Ghiscari Empire sounds like a fusion of Mesopotamia, Assyria, and Carthage
KTChamberlain It was also based off of The Persians and Egyptians
Ok, I would've mentioned them, but Ghiscar didn't seem to be desert-based, but the more I think about it, I do see your point. So it's a fusion of the three I mentioned plus the Persians and the Egyptians.
It was mainly based on Carthage, the Ghiscari wars being inspired from the Punic Wars.
I dont see how they specificaly resemble the assyrians, would you care to elaborate?
Ok, I admit that one was probably me reading too deep into that one, but the few similarities I saw was an arid civilization with a long rivalry with another and eventually fading away. When he mentioned the recovery period after the Long Night, it got me thinking of the Assyrians recovering after the collapse of the Bronze Age as opposed to the Hittites or the Minoans.
awesome video .i love how martin mixes civilizations like valyrians greeks + romans first men celts +proto germanic tribes ghis china+ carthage+ persia
Essos was always best and more powerful than Westeros.
I always just assumed it was based off Egypt and Persia in terms of geography and architecture but Greece in terms of government
what game is that footage from?
It's for the ps3 and xbox GoT tell tales
Rome vs Cartagine
Only difference is that if Hannibal Barca lead Old Ghis's armies he would've slap Valyria's bitch asses back to their fiery spit of land.
That man was nigh unstoppable. Rome had to go for his homeland just to get his pillaging ass out of their country and keep him from winning the war all on his own.
Although I would argue there are more differences than similarities.
@@isaacsorrels4077 Hannibal was a good tactician but a complete, utter shit at strategy. He never knew how to properly capitalize on Its victories and he lacked the full support of the Carthaginian elite, Which crippled all his campaigns. The Romans won because the Roman State was so strong and solid at the time that even under uncapable leadership they were always able to react and win.
@@isaacsorrels4077 lmao. No. Hannibal faces a dragon his army is gone. He was an impressive tactician, shown at Cannae, had no idea how to get a total strategic victory over the Romans.
this make me want to re-watch GOT s1&2
Well laid out.
All that just for Daenerys to come out of nowhere and beat them.
Which game u find these animation?
Rufus Domition They're from the Game Of Thrones Histories and Lore shorts, just search them up on CZcams, mate.
game of thrones telltale games
Where do you find this kind of information?
Ricardeaux From A World Of Ice and Fire history book...
Wasn't the Empire of the Dawn even older?
On a planet far , far away.......✌️
Unsullied are overrated. They just don't drop their weapons and run, that's about all they got going for them. So in comparison to other slave soldiers that's pretty impressive, but they're not exactly towering strong men. Their early castration would see to that.
Discipline +5, Morale +2
Unsullied are by far the best infantry in asoiaf. They have unbreakable morale and best dicipline. Pretty much the most important factors. Since they fight with spears in a phalanx physical strength isnt that important.
Strong Andal style men-at-arms in heavy chainmail, wielding halberds, pikes, tower shields and crossbows. There's your best infantry.
Yeah Westerosi Infantry are much better, If some religious fanatics with some knifes can defeat dozens of Unsullied then I bet men-at-arms in plate armor can destroy them.
If you wield halberd you cant wield shield and if you use pikes you cant use shields either. Tower shields dont exist and arent used by westerosi.
And if you allow them to have crossbows then you have them as archers not melee infantry.
How about summer islanders with goldeheart bows vs westerosi crossbowmen?
Ohh and by the way the vast majority of westerosi troops arent at all as good equipped as you say.
Westerosi men at arms and knights are outnumberd by unsullied.
There food sounds good. I'll pass on the dog though.
Omg fucks with the accent?
Like#79 woot
one of the most unrealistic worldbuilding in ASOIAF, almost nothing makes sense and is realistic even accounting for magic.
G-Rex Saurus How so
It's comically evil, cartoonish, unreasonably cruel and so on. There is almost nothing that is realistic, it seems like a parody of an actual eastern civilization.
G-Rex Saurus Well the storys told from a Western Pov.
Unrealistic? You have no idea about history if you think this didn't happen in real world. Eastern civilization? Slavery happened all around the damn world and just because the city is geographicly in east doesnt mean it has to be inspired by a eastern civilization... People used slaves and eunich slaves from Romans to Chinise.
There are collars found in ancient Roman cities with "This slave belongs to XXXX person and if he runs away bring him to XXXX place" written on them. There are records of Slaves getting "cut" in middle east after they have been taken by force, or sold by their own governers to be sold. You dont know history if you think this is unrealistic or a "parody"!
For all i know westoros not having slaves is unrealistic.
The only "comically evil" soceity grrm made (or failed to make) i would say is dothraki, seriously "a wedding without a death is unlucky". GRRM please.
Are you joking right? Were in our world were soldiers trained by killing puppies and babies?
