[SPOILERS] When Razdal offers gifts to Daenerys, his servants bring two chests with gold, two men carrying each. Gold is one of the densest materials, each of the ingots shown would weigh around 44 lbs. The total weight of each chest would require a forklift truck.

what 16 years with no new books does to a mf

[u/bulmas_hair]

Have you considered that forklifts weren’t invented yet?

[u/reereejugs → u/bulmas_hair]

Nah, but dragons were.

[u/Canadian__Ninja]

the slaves never miss arm day (they can't, they'd be killed)

[u/QuitConstant4675]

44 lbs each of the ingots or the box?

[u/Opposite-Complex1187 → u/QuitConstant4675]

A standard Gold bar weighs 12.4 Kilos and those things are big so i think hes fucked up the math somewhere.

Cant be more than 10-15 in that box which two people could lift

[u/QuitConstant4675 → u/Opposite-Complex1187]

It makes more sense to carry it with two people.

[u/Opposite-Complex1187 → u/QuitConstant4675]

What.

[u/Quendillar3245 → u/Opposite-Complex1187]

You're saying two skinny slaves could carry 130-190kg????????

[u/extradancer → u/Quendillar3245]

Yes. 2 adult men can carry 300-400 pounds together. Just not very easily, I don't know how light they made it look in the show

[u/Quendillar3245 → u/extradancer]

Two skinny SLAVES...

[u/extradancer → u/Quendillar3245]

Slaves who are acustomed to manual labour on pain of death

[u/QuitConstant4675 → u/Quendillar3245]

Yes.

Two slaves—not the skinny sort who spent their lives idling in a room, but men who had performed heavy labor all their lives.

It is not a matter of lifting weights overhead; it is about hoisting loads off the ground. If a man can hold a push-up position, he can lift his own body weight—or even more, with effort.

The gold is not left in just anyone's hands; the crates will be taken from a wagon or a horse and carried to the feet of the designated person. Simple.

[u/Garrettshade]

are you sure they are FULL of gold?...

[u/Alternative-Tap-4120]

Must be that cheap shit they melted in 20 seconds for viserys’ soup

[u/reyeg11_]

cinemasins should be banned

[u/Saiaxs]

Gold doesn’t weigh that much on Planetos

[u/Possible-You4332]

I really hope somebody got fired for that blunder.

[u/alien_survivor]

There were dragons, zombie ice people, giants, and children that are thousands of years old. Just maybe, those guys were extra strong cause they have a sixth toe or something.

[u/Modred_the_Mystic]

So these servants are forklift certified?
