Oldest Clothes in the World.
Thank You Hubble Space Telescope!
"What are we looking at here? Some 10,000 galaxies. Light that goes back 12 billion years, almost all the way to the beginnings of the universe (take that, Creationists). And an image that, for the first time, stretches across the full spectrum of light, from infra-red to ultra-violet, catching what looks like just about every frequency in between."

Game of Thrones Dragons are similar to Nuclear Weapons of Now
check out the main article below, there are a lot of exact examples from the narrative and warfare knowledge.
"Dragons 101. Before going further, a dragon primer: In Martin’s creation, dragons are flying creatures that spew fire hot enough to melt steel, concrete, and flesh. Those who tame them can ride their domesticated beasts into battle as nearly invulnerable weapons of war. A dragon will never stop growing “so long as he has food and freedom”—much like nuclear arsenals continually grow in size and lethality, as long as they have inexhaustible budgets.
...After hatching, Daenerys’ dragons are feeble and unable to fly great distances or breathe fire at higher yields. During their infant stage, her dragons behave more like tactical nuclear weapons than those suited for a strategic mission; they are only usable in a localized theater such as inside an enclosed space. Until her baby dragons grew stronger, they were vulnerable to steel or theft. Nevertheless, as long as they could survive a first strike, they could deter conflict, much like what Waltz wrote about small nuclear forces. As dragons age, their scales harden to protect against arrows, just as intercontinental ballistic missile silos eventually were hardened against anything but a direct ground burst. These are lessons every young nuclear weapon state must learn."
"It's actually a stunningly obvious comparison once you get down to it."
"As George R.R. Martin has acknowledged, "dragons are the nuclear deterrent" in his epic fantasy. One security analyst agrees, and argues that Game of Thrones teaches us a great deal about the benefits and dangers bestowed upon nations who wield these ultimate weapons of destruction."
