I think the cities of Old Ghis are modeled more after Sumeria or Babylon, actually. |
Yeah, I can buy Old Ghis as Babylon. But that would make Meereen kind of somewhere like in Syria or Turkey, or Lebanon.
Tyrion even talks about 'The Seven' being from that region, which kind of gives it that whole, 'Holy Land', vibe.
The 'ruins of old Valyria' strikes me as the remnants of the 'Eastern Empire' (nevermind that in real life the Eastern Empire was thriving after the collapse of the Western one)
