GoT SHOCKER: Did we waste eight years to know 'who will sit on the Iron Throne?' while the answer lay in Season 1? Here's what netizens think

Game of Thrones fans are not able to get over the fact that the fantasy saga is over that they do not need to obsess as to who will sit on the uncomfortable power epicentre - the Iro Thone and b the rightful ruler of the Seven Kingdoms.

Rummaging the gamut of trivia shared by the producers of the hit TV Show - HBO, through the years a new fan theory has emerged speculating that a poster of Season 1 of GoT had already held the answer to the burning question - Who will sit on the Iron Throne?

While the Series finale which aired on May 19, revealed that Brandon Stark - Lord Eddard Stark only living trueborn son will sit on the Iron throne ruling the six kingdoms as Bran the Broken, Twitter has found the Season 1 poster which featured Brandon's father - Lord Eddard Stark, also known as Ned Stark, sitting on the throne clutching his sword held the key. 

The reason - A raven resembling the three-eyed raven rests on the hilt of one of the thousand swords which constitute the fabled Iron Throne.
