This is the 100th Alt Shift X video! We recently hit 100M views, and are approaching 1M subscribers – thanks for watching 🙂

The wall was built by White Walkers to protect them from Stannis the Mannis.
-
Yeah the night that never ends... it lasted for an hour and 20 minutes
-
i remember reading somewhere that George RR Martin is actually horrible with practical sizes and how realistic architecture works. Like when he saw the first artist rendering of The Wall for GOT he told them they'd made it look way too high, to which they answered "that's what a 700 foot wall would look like".
-
GRRM : Can I copy the 7 wonders of the world for my books? World : Sure, but make some changes. GRRM : Makes everything 2 times bigger
-
I demand that all buildings be measured in Hodors from now on.
-
The Hodor system of measurements - the way to reconcile metric and imperial fanboys!
-
GRRM: hey, can I copy your homework? Great pyramid of Giza: sure, just make sure you change it a little bit THE GREAT PYRAMID OF GHIS
-
One thing I learnt is that GRRM loves his history
-
Presumably the Yi Ti Emperor's Palace is based on the Forbidden City, which was fabled to have 1000 buildings (it has 980)?
-
One of the wonders of the modern GoT world is Hot Pies gravy
-
I'm so happy this channel exists, gives GoT such incredible depth until the last season premieres!
-
I would think the jet black city of Asshai would be a wonder as well. Writings say it absorbed any sunlight around, and it's a major port. Would make sense that Longstrider had been there.
-
The triple layer walls of Qarth must have been inspired by the walls of Constantinople. The city is also quite similar to Constantinople which for a long time was the only surviving city in a once great empire
-
If I'd built the Titan, I'd totally have a rear port for dropping flaming pitch. Everybody'd be giggling immaturely as enemy ships burned.
-
'If the Wall falls, night falls as well, the long night that never ends'... Which turns out to be a singular night :/... Dammit D&D.
-
The Wall is Hardrian's wall. The Titans of Braavos is The colossus of Rhodes. Hightower in Oldtown is Lighthouse of Alexandria. Valyria Freehold roads is the Roman Empire's Roads. The Long Bridge of Volantis is The famous Roman Bridge of Cordoba. Qarth the trippled wall is probably the Constantinople walls. Highgarden is the Hanging Gardens of Babylon. Great Pyramid of Giza is Great Pyramid of Ghis.
-
The Long Night sawed Westeros's population in half and Phil Swift put it back together using FLEX TAPE
-
volantis is like london: a outpost build by the romans, divided by the river into a respected city on the on side and in medieval times the filthy degenerate and outlawish south bank where theatres brothels and pubs were. the bridge is like london bridge, which in the old times was also built up with houses and shops and the only way to cross the Themes.
-
The Palace of Love in Chroyane (though now the ruined Sorrows) was once considered a marvel of the world. The palace alone is estimated by Tyrion through the fog to be many times the size of the Red Keep and was known throughout the world to be splendorously beautiful. Very possible that it was one of the wonders before its destruction.
