The Doom of Valyria occured 5000 years before GoT, when every ruling house in Valyria had dragons and House Targaryen was a minor house that had little prospect. Around the same time the Doom happened, the Andals crossed over to Westeros and began their war with the Children of the Forest, who lived in Westeros with their Weir wood forests. As the children of the forest lost battle after battle to the superior numbers and army of men, in desperation the children created the White Walkers.
A picture of Valyria right before The Doom. Hopefully its more Conan than Wonder Woman. You'll probably see two threads in the new show, Valyria day to day life (think ancient Sumerian, Babylonian, Egyptian civs) before "something" fucks up their entire civilization and another thread of Andals conquering Westeros, aka European White conquistadors invading South America
meanwhile in modern day Westeros

The entirety of old Valyria was destroyed, and then some time between then and now on Westeros there was a long night, which I imagine also set back advancements in technology. Not that those two events excuse the lack of forward progress but it explains it away a little bit.

The First Men crossed into Westeros well before Valyria rose to power. As in, thousands of years.

4th generation US Army wartime veteran here, can confirm that I NEVER dropped pants and started raping while the opposing force was still fighting.
On a different topic, do other GoT fans out in the world rage on the writing this season or are we just a small niche corner of the internet?

It's gonna suck simply because they have zero characters GRRM came up with to use in the show. The characters carried the whole thing to the finishing line, without them GoT would have been cancelled half way through.
And that is precisely what I'll expect from Blood Moon. Strong viewer count for episodes 1 and 2, then people will realize it's just action with no interesting cast behind it, and episode three will have a fraction of the viewers. Season 2 terminated before Season 1 even finishes.

You’re way off on when the Doom occurred. It was only about 100-150 year before Aegon’s Conquest. The empire lasted for about 5000 years, that’s where you’re getting that number.

Bran is the whole reason for the NK coming south. why? never explained other than "muh 3 eyed raven" outside of that title he had no consequence, just like his predecessor. although his predecessor was actually somehow proactive a bit in shaping westeros politics. he was a Targaryan.
Winterfell is 8000 years old. they had the same or better tech back then.
According to legend, Winterfell was built by Brandon the Builder, who was aided by giants,[26] after the Long Night ended eight thousand years ago.[12] Maesters believe it was built in pieces over different eras, since the ancient Starks did not level the ground and plan it as a single structure.[12]
For most of recorded history Winterfell was the seat of House Stark, the Kings in the North and later Wardens of the North, after King Torrhen Stark bent the knee to Aegon the Conqueror and his dragons. During the wars between the Kings of Winter from House Stark and the Red Kings from House Bolton, Winterfell was burned by Kings Royce II and Royce IV Bolton of the Dreadfort prior to the Andal invasion of Westeros.[27]

Bloodmoon is the prequel to GoT, not sure what the release date is. D&D have no creative input on it, but I can't imagine its gonna be easy for HBO to walk that line of "This is more Game of Thrones! But it has nothing to do with the people who brought you the last season of GoT!" lol
5000 years?
