The Crypts of Winterfell

WHAT A STUUUUUUD!!!!!!

I don't know.. I'm getting tired of exploring the dark and ancient past in our own timeline.

I loved listening to your podcasts for the last couple years. You and Radio Westeros have put out some very entertaining, high quality, productions. But I find myself losing interest in ASOIAF as the years roll by, watching die hard fans in love with GRRM's work, essentially being taken advantage of by him, his publisher, and HBO. Its sickening. The series will not be finished. We have to come to grips with that. GRRM is not interested in finishing the series, and is content to let HBO finish his story. I think its obvious he is more interested in pursuing his more leisurely pleasures, which is fine, he's more than earned that, but its not fair to us for him to pretend that he's serious about finishing his books. He should either bring someone like Neil Gaiman on to help him finish, just come out and tell us he's not going to finish the books, or explain that he's letting HBO finish the tale for him. He can live out the rest of his golden years in content celebrity, which he has more than earned, and we can have some sort of closure on the story.

Maybe Jon is supposed to discover that Ned has a grave site for him, too, in the crypts.

@0:24:00 – you've got me wondering about the Manderlys – they came from the south but they're now in close proximity to the Sisters whose residents are so closely related to sea creatures that they have "the mark" (webbed fingers and toes). So the Manderly sigil is a merman, right? That seems more from after their move, right?

Man, you guys are good. Thank y'all so much for all the hard work! The whole Robs will part got me thinking…do y'all have a video or podcast about the?

The Winterfell crypts is probably my favorite mystery in ASOIAF…second only to just what the heck are The Others up to and why? Loving the focus on the Stark history. Lots of videos around on the Targaryens. Very well done. Thank you!

just starting great video again! do you think the crypts were the true Winterfell originally began. so many ancient castles have tunnels. could have stayed down there during long night or hard winters staying warm near the springs

You may be missing one plausible explanation to Verymax laying a clutch of dragon eggs. If there is volcanic activity beneath Winterfell, perhaps there are other entrances that the Starks are not aware of. More dragons would come in handy. Big or small. The hot springs themselves are not in the crypts or beneath them.

So my real history and fantasy history podcast are now on the same network.

I think the tunnels under Winterfell were first made by an ancient wyrms (related to wyverns and dragons) before it was built over and later became the crypts.

THANK YOU for a great video. One of the few out there giving great detailed commentary. Hope all is well with all the crew.

Just to say I'm around the 50 minute mark and I disagree. If Ned left the Harp in her tomb, it wasn't as a clue. Who would ever open her tomb? You said that yourself. He did to bury his beloved sister with something/someone she loved.

Yerrrrrr the night is dark and full of AZIZ.

A thought on why Brandon and Lyanna were given statues: It may have been unclear to folks living in the world of ASIF if Brandon died before Rickard; they may have thought he was Lord of Winterfell, if even for a short moment. As for Lyanna, if she and Rhaegar did marry, she was a Queen of the 7 Kingdoms, and thus, arguably superior to the Lord of Winterfell and hence, worthy of a statue.

Also, I've been going back through prior broadcasts of y'alls from years ago. You guys have always had consistently great content. Kudos to you guys for constantly improving the presentation. Last, but definitely not least RIP, Steve.

I just opened youtube and saw 2 hours of the Crypts of Winterfell – Awesome! Thank you – I'm so enjoying this!!

Dummies, all the Brans are the same #staywoke

This episode sounds amazing. Ive been listening to this podcast for a long time on Youtube. Well probably since Septon Barth episode. Lines from the show like, "I need you to become the man you're always meant to be. Not next year, not tomorrow…. now." Well Tywin would be proud to see you guys now, holy cow he might even smile to see how well put together your show has gotten. Thank you guys so much! I promise to become a patron next pay check. Keep it up Aziz Ahai👍!

I like the New Cam. Noice Quality! will you be using the new cam as the main cam?

Starks and the Others are working together. #kahoots

I always thought it a bit dumb that the horn of winter was on the north side of the wall. "Yes, lets leave the ONE THING that can bring the Wall down with the wildlings and the white walkers". It would be much more fun if the horn was left in the cripts at Winterfell.

Was about to watch Peaky Blinders, but I saw this beautiful notification!

Well done guys!

Hot Springs under WF should keep the crypts from being so cold.

Awesome!

I am watching you on a 70" tv. Those super close ups of you are getting scary :))))))))))

Also its very likely that House Starks original sigil wasn't a Direwolf. They got the Grey wolf on a white field from Gaven Greywolf and his kin whom they conquered and wed their daughters. Same thing with warging coming from them and the Warg King who again, they took his daughters. Just a thought. House Stark were invaders of the North who kicked out the Blackwoods, took their area, then made war with every one else. House Stark tied to Garth the Green.

3 Vids in a month. Oh my, I am much obliged.

Does no one else find it interesting that literally almost every Stark ever mentioned is on the top level? Literally the only two mentioned by name and not on the top level are Brandon the Builder and Brandon the Breaker. So though we can hypothesize about other ones back then, we are only ever actually told of two precluding Theon Stark and or Jon Stark who were apart of the early Andal Invasions.

Hell yeah
