dude this is crazy. I've always known it was based off england and ireland, but I have never seen it with ireland upside down! It's like he traced it when he made the map.

How about this
Greece = Westeros
Turkey = Essos
Levant = Valyria

i always thought valyria was supposed to be greece
especially cause if you look at sothoryos, the tip there is so clearly supposed to be egypt

Valyria, I think, is a stand-in for the Classical world in general -- an example of learning and achievement the Medieval world aspired to match.

For sure Valyria was Rome, fantasy Rome that was a little bit tougher on slaves and its fall was a little more apocalyptic.

This is cool. I always imagined Asshai closer, although I like the idea of it being on the other side of Sothoryos way down south, even though Sothoryos seems like it's supposed to be way bigger, impossibly big.
