Today I wanted to discuss one of the most interesting aspects of this world in my opinion. The Crypts of Winterfell have always been this mysterious place that all of the Starks have this strange connection to. I wanted to explore some of the potential theories about these Crypts that could come to fruition in the final season. Many people believe something is hidden inside Lyanna Stark’s Statue while others believe something is hidden in the lowest level of the Crypts that is partially collapsed. Whatever is down there is calling to Jon Snow… Personally I believe there is more to the Kings of Winter than we’ve been told. It’s obvious the Starks have a connection with The Others and I think the Kings of Winter may have something to do with it along with the Castle itself. Winterfell is also shrouded in Mystery and I think the true meaning of the name Winterfell has been forgotten over time along with the real reason Branding the Builder constructed this Castle over Natural Hot Springs.. But then again, maybe I’m wrong… You be the judge. Comment down below with all your questions and thoughts. Thanks for watching!

Videos always very well researched and explained awesome 🙂
I read somewhere that next year there will be a small episode of GOT, probably a prequel or a continuation, before the finale in 2019. Probably Bran's flashback.
Ned's dream was perhaps telling that the Night King is a greenseer that could see him i.e. what was going on, which is the only way the season 7 venture to capture a wight makes any sense, even if not much. The Night King was prepared to face Dany & her Dragons & had every intention of killing them. He never made an attempt to throw ice spears at Jon though… so why does he want Jon alive… if he does… so he could bring the dragons to him maybe?
Interesting theory about the crypts. I do think there is something to it besides Jon's heritage….
The crypt wouldn't be cold unless the king was alive down there right? So could the original night king be behind the cave in? Could the army of the dead be coming for him to then go to the gods eye?
Please whatever you do, do not stop making videos. Your videos are what is going to get us through this very long wait until Season 8 comes out. I think this has been one of your best videos to date, please keep them coming. And don't ever worry about how long your videos are because we will watch every minute of it.
Man your theories in this video literally gave me goosebumps. With the background music and everything it was just perfect. Now I am even more excited about season 8
Please say something about jaqen and syrio
Please!!!!!!
So the crypts halls go on and on like like roots of a huge tree,,,there are hot spring pools aroung WF in the courtyards,but the pool in front of WF weirwood is always black and cold…could the NK be interred under there???
As for the tv show I don't think there will be anything done with the crypts of winterfell
Remimds me of the 79 sentinals buried in the wall,the deserters,and the ice cells…
Wow!!! This is one fantastic video! Loved every theory and totally agree!!! Awesome!👏👏👏💙💙💙
by far my favorite channel for all my G.O.T. info. I started watching the series late but I've been hooked ever since. Keep up the good work TT.
HBO could make a whole tv show on the crypts and do 30 minute episodes and do like flashbacks with Sam acting a historian like person and then just kinda like flash back
I like the idea of dragon eggs being down there
BTWgreat narration of your videos very clear easy to listen to as well as precise on facts even if I disagree with some theories
The Night of the Awakening when ancestors come back til dawn and feast with the living
I believe both of Jon's parents are down there, with that sword, harp & dragon eggs that belonged to Rhaegar.
Only six but longer and better, more $$$$$$$ spendthrift hopefullyvot won’t end like Sopranos did that was weak
I like the theory of it originally being built as a prison to keep winter locked up forever or at least as long as there's a stark at winterfell or maybe as hot pie says WINTER HELL!! GOOD VID ONLY CRITIQUE IS YOU YANKS BUTCHER NAMES LOL
Just a thought do you think Bran can warg the dead Starks of Winterfell to help defeat the night king ?All the dead Starks are brought back to winterfell for a reason. There should always be a Stark in Winterfell.
Is there any truth to the rumour Sean Bean was in Belfast in past couple of weeks on the game of thrones set? Maybe a appearance to Jon in the crypts from Ned telling him how to defeat the night king again
I think someone important will be revived to make things clear
I think in the show will be Bran who tells Jon that go down to the crypts, he is going to find something about his parenting and the sword that can defeat NK
Hi, what do you think of this plot of season 8, you kind of, I found some similiarities on some of your previous videos. Personally I do not like this Plot, I hope that the show does not end like that, because there are so many loose ends. Like this video.
very insightful, great video! ❤️
Seriously the best GOT channel on YouTube 👍🏼
I think in the show, Jon kills the Night King. I think in the books, I believe the Great Other is in the Crypts of Winterfell and I believe that Jon has to kill the Great Other down there. If the Long Night occurred 8,000 years ago, then winter fell literally at Winterfell and the Starks guard it to ensure it never leaves. I say "if the Long Night occurred" because I believe there is a strong likelihood that the Long Night was a story of Westeros's future, not its past.Two pieces of evidence support my argument for the Great Other being down there. First, Hodor does not want to go down into the Crypts at one point and I think he senses the Great Other down there. Second, I think the three-eyed crow is not Bloodraven, but rather the Great Other and you see him fly into and around the Crypts.
Lastly!!! I agree that there is a clue at Lyannas statue. The show keeps coming back to it. We have seen her statue more then neds even though he was actually in the first season
I still think lightbringer could be the source of the hot springs a sword so powerful no man should wield it. If the original night king is down there maybe it's lightbringer that keeps him there.
Also I love the idea about the night king or kings! I’ve only read the first book so i don’t know much about him. I don’t think the show will go in the direction just because they really haven’t covered him and what they have covered makes it seem like it’s the same king. You never no in the game of thrones though lol
Did Ned have this dreams on the show too?? It would be amazing if the crypts came into play on the show. I’ve always wondered about them ever since bran started going down there when having the 3 eyed raven dreams.
I don't see how a dragon could lay eggs in the crypts. Unless they're huge and haven't been represented correctly, there just doesn't seem to be enough room for a full grown dragon to get in and move around down there…
I think there is definitely something down there, and it would be a shame if the subject was left out of season eight. I always had that feeling from Bran’s dreams of the three eyed raven always taking him into the crypts. First reaction would be the harp or sword, but when you mentioned Ned’s dream with eyes of ice, I believe there is something intense down there. Maybe dead Stark ice kings that rise to defeat the invading army. LOL. But definitely something.
Crypts are one of those recurring clues that GRRM gave us here and there along the books. But I think the crypts are part of a more complicated picture, probably connected to plotlines that D&D have already killed. Season 8 will be just a long, spectacular and silly battle.
A 'fell' is an old English word meaning 'hill'. I think the name Winterfell means exactly what it appears to mean and nothing more.
Yes, I absolutely believe there is something significant in the crypts. I doubt it's dragon eggs, but something meaningful, for sure.
When Gendry reforges ICE! then when Dani's dragons are at Winterfell the magic is complete and the Crypts and their Magic will come into play and release it's secret that has to do with the fall of the night King some how these things tie it together
