Dothraki, their History, Roots, Locations and Personalities | Map of Essos

[@prof.cecilycogsworth3204]

I really like having the relation to the maps put so clearly. Good work!

[@daddyleon]

I'm a sucker for maps too! I just don't have a great sense of direction irl :-/

[@prof.cecilycogsworth3204]

I'm one of those people who has a post-it permanently making the maps in the books, has bookmarked all maps of ASOIAF and considering which map to buy first for my home. However, irl, I can lose my orientation in a trice.

[@daddyleon]

Hahaha I keep flipping back and forth too :)

[@prof.cecilycogsworth3204]

I think I will eventually opt for the gorgeous work of Michael Klarfeld klaradox.de/en/galerie/westeros/ yet on the other hand, there's the sober realistic approach. And yes, I've ordered my map blanket for marathon GOT watching.

[@daddyleon]

Ooh... those are really nice.

[@ironborn4389]

Dude this video series is incredible, thank you for all your efforts in making the lore of the land clear and easy to follow it certainly fills a few gaps in my understanding. +1 subscriber. Also as a native English speaker from England I see you criticised occasionally for mispronunciation but considering it Is not your first language let me tell you that you are doing a stellar job my friend. Congratulations keep it up and keep them coming! Best of luck!

[@ScrivaTV]

Thanks! Enjoy!

Only two men could pull off making mascara look badass: Alice Cooper and Khal Drogo.

[@Gilgamesch1994]

Dothraki = A Mix of the Furious Mongols, the Turkish Tribes, like the Avars, the Huns and the Alans and the Iranian Tribes like the Parthians, Sarmatians and Scythes. How can you not love them?

[@Gilgamesch1994]

@Turk of moonland First of all Mongold are Tengriist not Atheist! And the rest of your comment is so full of Bullshit that i dont want to answer that. Have a nice day!

[@Gilgamesch1994]

@Turk of moonland I never said that! I said that the dothraki a FICTIONAL ethnic group has its inspirations from all those People i counted.. Its like the Rhoynar, antoher FICTIONAL Empire in GRRMS World that has similarities with ancient mesopotamian but some meso american Cultures...but in real life they had nothing to do with each other..

[@Gilgamesch1994]

@Turk of moonland well i checked the IQs of the countries of the world..Mongolia is ranked 29.. sooo...yeah so much for it..

[@Gilgamesch1994]

@Marko Milivojević Rust its 2 years now..sry i cant remember it

[@KTChamberlain]

The Dothraki: a threeway fusion of the Mongols, the Huns, and the Comanche--I love it.

[@willinnewhaven3285]

Don't insult _actual_ mounted warriors by comparing them to the imbecile Dothraki. None of those you mentioned relied on suicidal charges against formed--up infantry.

[@whoreofdragonstone1031]

the base of this being the mongols however

[@fuzzyhair321]

More like Mongol Turkic people's

[@ecopolitics1691]

they do not lookıng lıke Mongol. Just Old turk people(not dodys Turkey) just ltıtle bıt search

[@KTChamberlain]

@@ecopolitics1691 I never said they looked like the Mongols. They do however act and fight a lot like the Mongols did, coupled with the Huns, and the Comanche.

[@jay446944]

Great map of Essos. Most i have seen are inaccurate concerning the Bones mountains and have the sea coming too far north.

[@myusernameissoobnoxiouslyl9407]

That's the old map you're referring to, it was changed with the release of the world of ice and fire book.

[@alesor4866]

Love that intro! Keep the good content coming m8

[@Dahvos]

are you gonna do a video on the houses of Dorne?.. seems out of westeros that is the one you havent done yet.

[@benenlynch9733]

Ya Dorne that's a good idea. Great video mate.

[@ScrivaTV]

Working on it.

[@historycenter4011]

Dahvos He did Dorne a month ago.

[@MagaldiMateus]

Dragon of the north?He was named Ysmir?

[@jumbo1012394]

Great video!

[@matthewmiller3322]

Love to know the intro music

[@natanieltiglao7061]

hey bro can u upload histories of dragons in the dynasty of targaryen in westeros?

[@ScrivaTV]

Yup, that would be interesting.

[@natanieltiglao7061]

ScrivaTV thanks bro ur the best...I cried when Arrax died with Lucerys Targaryen in the DD

[@mikedoll456]

The womb of the world......sounds like the steppe

[@willinnewhaven3285]

I'm sure that this is all legitimate from the point of view of GRR Martin but the Dothraki make no damn sense. There are supposed to be so _many_ of them but they have no economic base except for looting and slaving. Please don't mention the Mongols because they _had_ a herding economy and fought by fire and maneuver. There were never that _many_ of them but their foes had to refer to them as hordes because losing to their actual numbers would be disgraceful. The Dothraki are light cavalry who rely on hair-on--fire charges, in other words suicidal. sites.google.com/site/grreference/

[@ScrivaTV]

They take tolls from passing caravans. That's a thriving business, considering how many traders cross Dothraki Sea to reach eastern lands.

[@willinnewhaven3285]

A drop in the bucket to support the numbers that GRR Martin has his characters talking about. However, that kind of illusion, concerning the Mongols, the Huns etc, in the day because losing to the real numbers would have been disgraceful. Martin started off talking about them as mounted archers but then he gave them a bullshit chest-beating culture and the habit of making ferocious charges instead of engaging in fire and maneuver like all successful light cavalry did. They are unconvincing. The idea that armored knights and men-at-arms would fear them in melee is nonsense. The swords Martin gave them would easier slit their own throats than deal with plate.

[@murusmicmac9544]

name of intro song?

[@danmaertens7872]

The Dothraki are clearly inspired by the Yamnaya steppe peoples, or rather Scythians, I would not say they are Mongolian inspired because they don’t use bows and they seems to be more Caucasian. The Jhogos Nhai seem to be the Mongolian inspired people of the eastern reaches of Essos. Even the look of the Dothraki is close to the description of Yamnaya peoples as tall and dark eyes and hair.

[@Concerned_Robot]

Why do the Dothraki consider farming a sin??

[@KingOtakarXXI]

It's just their culture. They believe a man should fight and ride a horse, not work on a farm.

[@Horesmi]

TheWhoGivesAShitChannel Helps them sleep after all that pillaging.

[@christopherlewis1315]

Doh frackey Lol!

[@ericjohnston3325]

KZbin seemed to automatically unsub from you. Interesting

[@ScrivaTV]

Happens. KZbin algorithms are weird.

[@aiyacharlene]

so if daenerys took all of the dothraki to westeros, who's left to rule the dothraki sea?

[@ScrivaTV]

Well, for sure not all of the dothraki went with Daenerys. Even if every khal submitted to her, women and children had to stay in Essos, and since they stayed, then some riders were left with them for the protection. It must be that Dosh Khaleen took over the Dothraki Sea as vassals of the Mother of the Dragons.

[@Concerned_Robot]

No one. Does a girl need to ask?

[@Horesmi]

ScrivaTV I bet a minority went with Dany

[@superduperfreakyDj]

I bet not every Khal was in Vaes Dothrak when Dany took over

[@ghostgutarist5234]

Now people can say where is Dothrak but will stumble when u ask where is Syria :) after 500 Year... some historians will spend their days searching evidence of Dothrak (History channel) same as they are doing with The Iliad and Odyssey.

[@wahhabmiah52]

Where do the ironborne originate from

[@grazenevan6970]

The Iron Islands. He made a video on it earlier.

[@Horesmi]

wahhab miah under the sea

[@wahhabmiah52]

AlHoresmi thsnks

[@bchandruu]

Mongols is coming

[@nipun45]

Very confusing. lost the track before half of the video

[@KingOtakarXXI]

You're alone bro..

[@MrWassup45]

no he isnt all the names sound the bloody same to me

[@Dermetsu]

My least favorite part of the franchise. Great video though.

[@abadidibadou5476]

[@kurtjaccoud9653]
