That fact that this is available for free just baffles me. Thank you very much, man

After spending years and years on Youtube, I finally found the greatest single fantasy content. Incredible.

[BeppyTurnip]

Showing locations where events happened is an amazing idea tbh. Really helps explain the story for me.

I listened to all 7 hours and 48 minutes. I first read the books 52 years ago.

Now this is a gift from Eru himself. Thank you so much

[sbreskin]

This is the greatest video on YouTube. I am not even sure if we need the rest of it after this. Thank you for this masterwork.

[Draythur]

First half of this video can basically be summarized as tricking people into reading the Silmarillion by presenting it in kings and generals form, and I have say, hats off, just brilliant!

[THEHOMEBOYPODCAST]

This should have 3 million views
How long did this take to complete? Standing ovation.

[ollyhayden]

Wow.
You bow to no one.
This was incredible.
Thank you for what must have been a huge effort and a labour of love.

I've read the silmarillion I think three times, and this incredible video has been more enlightening and easy to follow with its incredible imagery in maps than any other content I've seen!

[NunyaBiznessss]

I cannot imagine how much time, effort, sweat, and frustration must have been poured into such an incredible video. Between the art and subtle animations, the sound design, the choice of music, and Eru-tier narration for nearly eight hours, cheers to you guys. This is an amazing feat of creation.

After reading all Tolkien's books about middle-earth, I was waiting for an episode like this from you for some time, thank you very much for this work

[vickyv]

I'm so happy I've finally found such a complete video about Tolkien's universe. So i'm gonna pour myself some wine, make a snack, take out my notebook and take notes! thank you so much for this, keep up the good work! :) :)

"How many times are you going to watch this video"?
"Yes."

[theshield]

For fans of the LOTR movies looking for specific spots, here you go:

Fellowship of the ring opening: 4:40:57 - 4:58:48
Rest of the movie: 5:46:06 - 5:59:10

The Two Towers: 5:59:10 - 6:29:20

The Return of the King: 6:29:21 - 7:27:42

I tried to edit my last comment, but deleted it. Crazy how much lore there is, and the movies only covered such a small piece. Also, just wanted to say this was a great video :)

Oh nice, you didnt just compile your 1st, 2nd and 3rd Age vids, you also included a deeper dive into Eru Illuvatar's interventions and the Dagor Daggorath? Nice work.

[andrejayc]

Just shy of 8 hours of middle Earth history. This is awesome 💯

[SavageJunky]

I've been dreaming of a video like this for years. Amazing work!

[Arnurion_ITA]
