David Benioff and D. B. Weiss created the HBO fantasy drama television series Game of Thrones. It is based on George R. R. Martin’s A Song of Ice and Fire series of fantasy novels, the first of which is A Game of Thrones.
The show was shot in several countries, including the United Kingdom, Canada, Croatia, Iceland, Malta, Morocco, and Spain. It debuted on HBO in the United States on April 17, 2011, and ended on May 19, 2019, with 73 episodes spread across eight seasons.
What stones are put on dead people’s eyes in ‘Game of Thrones’ and why?
The specific reason isn’t clear, but it’s probably something like how the Greeks would always put cash beneath the dead’s lips so that they could pay Caron to enter the Underworld.
It’s essentially just a cultural ritual that has its roots in religion and some form of belief in the hereafter. However, it is worth mentioning that the only people we see them do this with are those who adhere to the Faith of the Seven (Jon Arryn, Myrcella, Joffrey, Tywin, and so on). We don’t see people doing this in the North, thus it’s most likely a Seven custom. The rationale, however, is not entirely clear.
