RL Humans established farming roughly 13-15,000 years ago.
Since then we've only advanced in any significant measure in the last 500 years.
Westeros is basically in Mesopotamia/Ancient Egypt mode right now.

Looking at the armors that appeared during the Military Parades I have some serious doubts about that

Except with advanced metallurgy, construction techniques and farming methods.....
Maester conspiracy to hide destabilizing knowledge, whether technological or magical.
God damn maesters keeping the technology behind.
>>72014171
More like AD 500 around the time the western roman empie fell apart.
>>72014091
The maesters are slowing everything down. Also, we don't know how advanced things were in Westeros 8000 years ago.
Theres a ten year winter every generation that all but ends civilization. Look into the Dark Ages in Europe.

It's not even close to Rome in terms of technology/sophistication. King's Landing is the equivalent of medieval London or Paris, it wouldn't hold a candle to Rome or Constantinople even in their "dark ages".

they use explosives in warfare and political violence now, that means the GoT universe is probably extremely close to firearms.
>1 year on Westeros ≠ 1 Earth year.
Years on Westeros are shorter. Those 8000 years are actually 1500 in Earth years

They're not as bad as people would have you believe but it's not like it was all cherries and sunshine

Actually, it's a Dyson sphere.

>>72014401
what are you talking about? Do you know what a dyson sphere is supposed to be?
>>72014491
It's a British hoover you mong.

Multiple mass extinctions and societal resets, the civilization we're seeing in the show/books isn't the first oneJust like in the real world
>>72014091
Because George is a fucking hack and copied the idea of a non-moving world from Tolkien instead of figuring out some kind of development in his world.

>Westeros is basically in Mesopotamia/Ancient Egypt mode right now
Westeros is medieval Europe dumbass

Only half of Rome fell and the Eastern Empire experienced several eras afterwards of flourishing art and literature for the next thousand years.
