It took him close to a century to die after the Conquest. And what wounds? The Targaryens left Valyria 10 years before the doom (or possibly were banished), as claimed due to a prophetic vision one of them had.
Balerion was probably not even that big for a Valyrian dragon. Targaryens were one of the lesser 40 dragonrider houses afterall

Corlys's bastard son Addam was a dragonrider too. The requirement is Valyrian blood, not Targaryen blood.

Did Alicent really steal the throne because she was jealous that Rhaenyra got the better brother? Seems petty.

Prolly.

You have to realize, the Valyrians, while an old culture, were *not* the oldest. Not older than Ghis or Yi-Ti. It is likely the original families who bred/discovered the secrets of dragons stood above the rest. Perhaps the Velaryons missed out. Martin is on record saying that blood mages and dragon lords don't always overlap. There could have been sorcerers who were only interested in the *breeding* or *creation* of dragons (and other chimeric abominations), rather than riding them. The Freehold likely had other monstrous beasts.
Valyria is actually similar to formerly-backwater nations like Britain in that humble shepherds/farmers (the Valyrian Peninsula) ended up being king of the world, via conveniences at the time (in this case, they learned something from someone). Dragons are like gunpowder. Someone in the far east discovered how to breed/create dragons using blood magic, and it spread to the West, where it was perfected and refined further by the Valyrians. Notice how all pre-Valyrian black-stone structures are remarkably *less* advanced/sophisticated.
Dragons were all over the globe once, too, implying the Valyrian feat of keeping them all concentrated to one area (Valyria) was a remarkable feat. Perhaps Valyrian dragons were more malleable/controlled than pre-Valyrian dragons. Pre-Valyrian dragon bones could easily be mistaken for wyvern bones too.
I like to entertain the possibility that the ancient Asshai people (nameless and forgotten) mixed wyvern stock with sea serpents/wyrms, rather than the fire-wyrms of the Valyrian volcanoes. It would account for the wet and dry variations of black-stone.
There's also, y'know, Nagga ... a likely literal sea dragon/serpent, and possibly related to the greasy, oily, wet black stone known to dot the shores of random regions all over the world. It is likely that several cultures had contact with this phenomena. It can't all be sourced to just one/two culture/s like so many seem to think.

>Answer this, from who does Aegon III's right to rule come from?
Aegon III's right to rule doesn't come from Rhaenyra, it comes from Daemon. With all of Viserys's sons dead, Daemon's would be the next branch of the male line, and his eldest son was Aegon III.

Truth of what? Do you have some proof to provide?

>Upon the death of Aegon the Conqueror, however, and the ascension of his son Aenys to the Iron Throne, rebellion broke out in Westeros, including the Vale. Ronnel's own brother Jonos Arryn rose in rebellion against him. Ronnel was imprisoned and his title usurped by Jonos.
>Ronnel was executed by his brother who had him flung out of the Moon Door, earning him the nickname Jonos the Kinslayer.
>Jonos and his men remained defiant until Prince Maegor flew to the Eyrie upon Balerion to crush the rebellion. Jonos' followers, knowing they could not defeat the dragon, turned on their leader. Jonos shared the same fate he had shown to his brother Ronnel and was flung through the Moon Door. His men hoped that by surrendering, Prince Maegor would show them mercy. Maegor's mercy was having all of them hanged instead of being burned alive. Even the highborn died by the noose as Maegor denied them the honor of beheading.
WTF Maegor was actually based?!

Sorry, I do not take to that theory, since it goes out of its way to lump all other geographical regions and cultures into one, which is kind of impossible to do. We're still without so much context to just up and assume something like that. You can't just do that. There's so much to the east we *still* don't know about. Not all was told in the world book, and presumably much and more exist that aren't being told.
You can only really entertain the possibility that numerous cultures encountered and had access to similar phenomena.
