(For members only!) Long-gone Legends are less certain than structures that still stand. But how were they built in the first place? Why did giants work with humans? Were they forced? If so... how? This episode stretches from the Wall to Storm's End and spans characters ranging from Night King to Sandor Clegane, from ancient Starks to current ones, and not just Bran.

This is another collab with Crowfood's Daughter! (the Disputed Lands on YouTube).

I think I might have an explanation for the fact that the levels of the Winterfell crypts containing the older graves are below the newer ones (if I am the tenth person to write this, please ignore me): buildings tend to sink into the ground by the centuries due to the pressure of the weight of the building and to wind and weather carrying earth and sand towards it. The church in my home town is about sixhundred years old and has sunk into the earth for about 1,5 meters. The amphitheater in Arles/France is almost 2000 years old, and more than one storey of the structure is now beneath the current ground level of the town. There are many churches from the early middle ages which had sunk so deep into the ground that when people decided to replace the old church with something bigger and more modern, they just build the new church on top of the old one, and the old one then becam - the crypt! GRRM is certainly aware of this fact, as he repeatedly writes about old buildings being half buried in the ground. If Winterfell is 6000 years old, then it's well possible the same thing happened there repeatedly - that new parts of the castle were built on top of old ones, which had sunk into the ground. In this case the former entrance hall would become the topmost level of the crypts, the original crypts being below it. And when the original crypts had been filled with graves, they would continue burying the dead in the next upper level. In the end after 6000 years you might have three or four additional levels of crypts, the oldest graves being in the deepest, the newest in the highest level .
