Quais são as maravilhas e as maravilhas feitas pelo homem?

16

Trecho de A Dance with Dragons:

The old Valyrian road glimmered ahead of them like a long silver ribbon winding through wood and dale. For a little while Tyrion Lannister felt almost at peace. "Lomas Longstrider told it true. The road's a wonder."

"Lomas Longstrider?" asked Duck. "A scribe, long dead," said Haldon. "He spent his life traveling the world and writing about the lands he visited in two books he called Wonders and Wonders Made by Man."

"An uncle of mine gave them to me when I was just a boy," said Tyrion. "I read them until they fell to pieces."

"The gods made seven wonders, and mortal man made nine," quoted the Halfmaester.

A Dance with Dragons, Tyrion III

Tyrion e seus companheiros mencionam sete maravilhas da natureza e nove maravilhas criadas por homens. As estradas de Valyria são o quarto dos nove. Sabemos quais são as outras quinze maravilhas? Eu suponho que The Wall seja outro dos nove feitos por homens.

As maravilhas feitas pelo homem

Apenas alguns foram nomeados. De acordo com westeros.org como minha fonte:

  • estradas valirianas.
  • A parede.
  • Titã de Bravos.
  • As paredes triplas de Qarth.

E menos canônico, mas ainda notável.

It may be implied in the text that the ruins of the Great Pyramid of Ghis, which we're told Lomas Longstrider visited, may also number among them.

Speculatively, fans have considered the possibility of the Hightower of Oldtown, Harrenhal and the Five Forts being among the other man-made wonders.

Maravilhas feitas por natureza

Os livros não falam sobre isso ao meu conhecimento. Mas os links não-canônicos tocam neles um pouco.

Não canônico, mas especulação útil.

Também em westeros.org.

Uma postagem do reddit que vale a pena notar.

Maravilhas

Das sete maravilhas, só sabemos de uma com certeza, mas temos algumas outras possíveis, mas nada foi confirmado.

Confirmado

Um sistema de cavernas próximo Norvos

One cavern system, some hundred leagues northwest of Norvos, is so vast and deep that legend claims it is the entrance to the underworld; Lomas Longstrider visited it once and counted it as one of the world's seven natural wonders in his book Wonders.

A página Wiki de Gelo e Fogo, nas Maravilhas , oferece dois exemplos possíveis: Ossos e as Montanhas para a leste do Mar de Dothraki.

Os ossos

Um grupo de ilhas em The Summer Isles está listado como sendo um potencial.


As Terras de Gelo e Fogo, O Mundo Conhecido: As Ilhas de Verão

Montanhas ao leste do mar de Dothraki

East, beyond Vaes Dothrak and the Mother of Mountains, the grasslands give way to rolling plains and woods, and the earth beneath the traveler's feet turns hard and stony and begins to climb upward, ever upward. The hills grow wilder and steeper, and soon enough the mountains appear in the far distance, their great peaks seeming to float against the eastern sky, blue-grey giants so huge and jagged and menacing *that even Lomas Longstrider, that dauntless wanderer (if his tales be true),*lost heart at the sight of them, believing that he had at last reached the ends of the earth.
The World of Ice and Fire, The Bones and Beyond

Pessoalmente, eu suspeitava que Vaes Dothrak, As Terras do Sempre Inverno e as Terras do Longo Verão estão entre as Maravilhas também, mas isso é apenas especulação.

A Citadel também especula sobre o que se segue entre as Maravilhas.

The natural wonders are not known, though readers have suggested that Casterly Rock and perhaps the Giant’s Lance might fit, as well as the Rhoyne, the Shadow, the Mother of Mountains, and the Fourteen Flames, among others.

Maravilhas feitas pelo homem

Das nove Maravilhas Feitas pelo Homem, temos sete conhecidas e muitos candidatos em potencial para os dois últimos lugares.

As estradas valirianas

"The gods made seven wonders, and mortal man made nine," quoted the Halfmaester. "Rather impious of mortal man to do the gods two better, but there you are. The stone roads of Valyria were one of Longstrider's nine. The fifth, I believe."
"The fourth," said Tyrion, who had committed all sixteen of the wonders to memory as a boy.
A Dance with Dragons, Tyrion III

A parede

It was not always so. Whether the legends are true or not, it is plain that the First Men and the children of the forest (and even the giants, if we take the word of the singers) feared something enough that it drove them to begin raising the Wall. And this great construction, as simple as it is, is justly accounted among the wonders of the world.
The World of Ice and Fire, The Wall and Beyond: The Night’s Watch

O Titã dos Bravos

A seguinte citação sugere que o Titã é uma das maravilhas, no entanto, aparentemente George RR Martin afirma que está em esta entrevista mas eu não tenho tempo para assistir ainda.

Lomas Longstrider marveled at the Titan of Braavos—the great fortress of stone and bronze in the shape of a warrior that bestrides the main entrance into the lagoon—but the true wonder is the Arsenal.
The World of Ice and Fire, The Free Cities: Braavos

As paredes triplas de Qarth

"We could sail to Qarth," Penny went on. "The streets are paved with jade there, my brother always said. The city walls are one of the wonders of the world. When we perform in Qarth, gold and silver will rain down on us, you'll see."
"Some of those ships out on the bay are Qartheen," Tyrion reminded her. "Lomas Longstrider saw the walls of Qarth. His books suffice for me. I have gone as far east as I intend to go."
A Dance with Dragons, Tyrion XI

Os três sinos de Norvos

No account of Great Norvos is complete without a mention of the city's three bells, whose peals govern every aspect of city life, telling the Norvoshi when to rise, when to sleep, when to work, when to rest, when to take arms, when to pray (often), and even when they are permitted to have carnal relations (rather less often, if the tales be true). Each of the bells has its own distinctive "voice," whose sound is known to all true Norvoshi. The bells bear the names Noom, Narrah, and Nyel; Lomas Longstride was so taken by them that he named them one of his nine Wonders Made by Man.
The World of Ice and Fire, The Free Cities: Norvos

A Ponte Longa de Volantis

Those same tides and currents, and the river's width, made the building an epic task, requiring more than forty years and many millions of honors. Triarch Vhalaso did not live to see what he had wrought...but once completed, the Long Bridge had no rivals save for the Bridge of Dream in the Rhoynar festival city of Chroyane. Strong enough to support the weight of a thousand elephants (or so it is claimed), the Long Bridge of Volantis stands today as the longest bridge in all the known world. Lomas Longstrider named it one of the nine wonders made by man in his book of that title.
The World of Ice and Fire, The Free Cities: Volantis

O Palácio Com Mil Salas em Sarnath

Even in the Seven Kingdoms, the glory of Sarnath of the Tall Towers was celebrated, and Lomas Longstrider included the Palace With a Thousand Rooms amongst his nine Wonders Made by Man.
The World of Ice and Fire, Beyond the Free Cities: The Grasslands

Vale a pena notar que esta maravilha foi destruída por Khal Loso e seus Dothraki.

Bereft of defenders, Sarnath of the Tall Towers fell to Loso the Lame less than a fortnight later. Not even the Palace With a Thousand Rooms was spared when Khal Loso put the city to the torch.
ibid

A página wiki especula o seguinte como possíveis Marcas Feitas pelo Homem.

Speculatively, fans have considered the possibility of the Hightower of Oldtown, the tallest structure in the Seven Kingdoms, Harrenhal, the largest castle in the Seven Kingdoms, and the Five Forts, a massive fortress along the northeastern boundaries of the Golden Empire of Yi Ti, as being among the other man-made wonders.
A wiki of Ice and Fire, Wonders Made by Man

Ele também lista os dois seguintes que parecem mais propensos a preencher os dois pontos restantes, já que Longstrider é conhecido por tê-los visitado.

A Grande Pirâmide de Ghis

The Great Pyramid of Meereen had been built as an echo to the Great Pyramid of Ghis whose collossal ruins Lomas Longstrider had once visited.
A Dance with Dragons, The Kingbreaker

A cidade festiva de Chroyane

Lomas Longstrider, in his Wonders Made by Man, recounts meeting descendants of the Rhoynar in the ruins of the festival city of Chroyane who have tales of a darkness that made the Rhoyne dwindle and disappear, her waters frozen as far south as the joining of the Selhoru. According to these tales, the return of the sun came only when a hero convinced Mother Rhoyne's many children—lesser gods such as the Crab King and the Old Man of the River—to put aside their bickering and join together to sing a secret song that brought back the day.

Das maravilhas feitas pelos deuses, nenhuma até agora foi mencionada. Mas das maravilhas artificiais, sabemos de quatro:

  • estradas valirianas.
  • A parede.
  • Titã de Bravos.
  • As paredes triplas de Qarth.

As pirâmides de Ghiscari podem ser um quinto.
