LOTR: The Second Age or How Numenor f*cked up so bad that God itself went out of his way to say: *"You. F*cked. Up."*

[bojakai]

I like how Sauron has a poster of Melkor in his room

[fidelrivera]

My head is spinning with so many names and dates... But it was all presented in a way I can easily understand. Thank you!

[jallakka]

I felt great happiness when you described the battle of the last alliance in its proper form. Gil Galad and Elendil are real hero's and simply must be held in high regard.

I love that like half of what we know of the second age is just the family tree of Númenor

[tomverstappendrums]

The corruption of numenor and their march upon the undying lands could actually be a really cool story for the tv show. With isildur as one of the protaganists.

[HomeGunMaker]

THE most complete and clear explanation of the Second Age I have ever found!

[minotaur]

I love how I'm rewatching this even though I saw all 4 of the individual parts

[stevenirizarry]

Second age trilogy:

Part 1: The War Of The Rings that covers the forging of the rings of power and the rise of the ringwraiths and ending with Numenor’s great rescue

Part 2: the whole fall of Numenor that the ends with Sauron’s return

Part 3: the battle of minas ithil and the war of the last alliance

So Sauron pissed off God so bad that he tore off a sacred continent, reshaped the world into a globe and put that continent above the planet. What an ass.

2:31 I spent at least 10 minutes staring at that ancestry tree trying to figure out what role each of these individuals played in the events of the first age.

After watching season 2 of rings of power I come here to rewatch your lore videos so I can find inner peace, thanks brother.

[MrWarhead]

You are by far the most detailed teller of the second age. Its so easy to understand. THank you.

[Aurora]

First 11 minitues sound like a solid season 1 plotline.

[NovRen]

Rewatching a lot of 2nd age items as the Rings of Heresy Season 2 approaches....bravo!❤

[bccooper]

THIS! Instead of people complaining about the Amazon Prime series, we get this really awesome history lesson! I love this! Thank you!

[MehmetlerMehmedi]

People saying how can they allow sauron to be adviser from prisoner, dont realise he was in human form and everything he said was true at the start, so it was like seeing in to the future, thats how clever and patient he was.

[gamer]

Watching this for the 3rd time. People saying there is not a lot of info for the second age is need to watch this. Amazon making stuff up for their show is crazy. Watch this and you could have 5 seasons with great source material.

[Jvvvv]

they should hire you to help with the amazon lord of the rings tv series that take place during second age. Im pretty sure you know more then them lol.
