The Importance of Samwell and The Astrolabe (Season 7 GoT Theories)

Will Bran stay at Castle Black, or will the temptation of going home take hold?

Chains were just a way of keeping very important books from being stolen, misplaced or plagiarized elsewhere. Drunken librarians, lol.

sorry bro…ur off on son much stuff….theres no way the masters of citadel think rob and joffrey are still alive…just because they didn't know about a murder tjat took place North of the wall, right before Maester Admin died and the wildlife attack the wall, does not even mean in the slightest they dotb know about major current events…its their job to know and they didn't know about kept morning because in the confusion of the wall getting attacked and Admin dying tjat was probably last thing on the minds of the men at Castle black

I think Sansa and Little Finger will have a conflict and she will kill him.

chains could support the selves stay secure. See similar for Vatican library… if you can find it

Sansa could brag about surviving Jeffrey AND Ramsay!

Sansa…I see the point of her in the story, but I just do not like her. She is a wimp & a silly girl for such ruthless times. I think it will be good for her to grow up in her ways & thoughts. It may get me to like her better but idk if I can.

Maybe the chains r just a way to hang the shelves. Aren't there chains in the library at Castle Black? Could just b they're style. I would b in heaven in that library!! I think you're right about the open book😍🐺🐲🌞🌌

Books hand copied in our own past history were commonly chained down…. they were extremely valuable…think Middle Ages and huge very decorated bibles … chained to a podium for everyone to access.

Maybe the book has to do with past Winters, as one is coming on.

Sam will find the language of the children/white walkers so they can communicate

the chains on the books are
1. to prevent theft
2. when each maester or apprentice takes out a book, hes given the key to said book, if the book goes missing they keep a log to discover who was the last to take the book out.
The chains are their to protect these one of a kind literature treasures from ever being stolen, and also to keep track of who's read them and knows the knowledge that book may contain. thats just my opinion, u know its a library, so much in the same way libraries operate today, i how i'd imagine this one to as well.

Like your videos but your sign off is really off putting … apologies but I have to be honest if I leave a comment .

I think Sansa will tell them about how she wishes she let the Hound fuck her after the Battle of the Blackwater.

Sansa will once again have terrible luck in the husband territory and become the nights queen.

Books used to be very rare and produced by hand . In medieval times they would chain the books so people wouldn't take them. It pretty much to prevent theft.

is that all you can think of that sansa would have to say? lol

Love your videos

Well, someone needs to tell Jon about his true parentage before he ends up effing his own aunt.

Sansa will brag about how she got raped and beaten by like everyone

The Chains are there to prevent the books from being stolen…. or.. ehhh.. permanently borrowed.

I thought the chains were just so they didn't get stolen, a lot of the books would be incredibly rare if not the only copies left

Maybe the chains are there to keep each book in place? Like a timeline?

Nope, the astrolabe in the intro is a bible description of a divine being called, guess it Thrones.

It's just a book and the chains are so only maesters can lend out the books to keep track of who has them.

The chains are to protect the books. Mostly from theft

6:47. You sound like she has little to contribute. How about beeing married to Joffrey, Tyrion and Ramsey. She might have a a story or two.

0:30 It's the Song of Ice and Fire and it's opened to the page where Sam enters the library and sees the book, where he sees the book, where he sees the book, where he sees the book, where he sees the book, where he sees the book………

Someone already said it, but just to elaborate, before the printing press books were written by hand. Paper was expensive, ink was expensive and a book took ages to make. There were very few books and they were very precious.

The chains prevent the books from being stolen. There are a few chained libraries still left in Europe

The only reason the Maesters did not know anything about the events at the wall was because Amon died (and noone else really gave a damn about telling anyone)

Do you think they sort of overdid the library? Very unrealistic.

dude chains on a book in a citidel of ALL known written history and lore, its to keep them from getting lost and stolen because some of those books have information that could change the face of the world as they know it.

That book is "The Adventures of JJ Volty and Irogenia". It serves as a sort of Kama Sutra of Planetos and comes with many vivid illustrations. One of the citadel's most frequently requested works.

The astrolabe reminds me of Battlestar Galactica — It's happened before, and it will all happen again. The Whitewalkers head south on a timetable that has little to do with what the humans are doing. They can't support themselves in the far north anymore, as their normal prey (whatever it is) migrate or die off.

The Maesters wear chains, each designating a different area of study, the chains are likely identifiers of the type of information found in the books. From the GoT wiki: money and accounting Silver, medicine and healing Iron, warcraft Black iron, ravenry Lead, poison
Copper, history Bronze, astronomy[3] Steel, construction[4] Electrum, astrology Pale steel smithing, Valyrian steel – "the higher mysteries" (i.e. magic). Known metals with unknown corresponding fields of study include; Brass, Pewter, Platinum, Red gold, Tin. They likely are not anti-theft devices. The guild of the Maesters is a closed order, and don't think "outsiders" are allowed in the Citadel Library.

The chains are definitely just holding each book to the shelf – I've seen this in ancient libraries before – it stops books going missing.

I think the chain are around the books so people don't steal them. Elia gave Rhaegor heirs  a son but he thought he had to fufill a prophecy and had three chikdren and Elia was too sick
