35:58 "As such, Ar-Pharazon was able to simply walk into Mordor..." I see what you did there 😂😂

Every time I hear of Numenor as a realm, I get sad because it was such a beautiful place and yet Sauron utterly ruined it by wicked manipulation. But it is a fair reminder to us that men's pride and hubris can prove as catastrophic as any natural disaster.

One channel to bring them all, and with the algorithm, bind them.

Year 3434 of the second age. Here follows the account of Isildur, high king of Gondor and the finding of the Ring of Power.

I wanted to offer one correction to this otherwise fantastic video:
Galadriel, Celeborn, and Celebrian did not leave Eregion before the coming of Annatar. Galadriel actually gave regular scorn to Annatar while he was in Eregion, which Sauron endures with courtesy while attempting to raise a coup against her by means of the Smiths. This convinces/forces Galadriel to flee with her daughter (and Amroth, but he never gets brought up) to go to Lorinand and remain there, but Celeborn actually stays behind in Eregion because he will not suffer to enter the realm of the Dwarves, but Eregion is effectively taken over by Celebrimbor. The Rings then begin to be made after this (this last detail is kinda sketchy, but generally accurate).

At the very least, this is the version of the story as it is reported in Unfinished Tales, and I don't believe there is another version of the story (certainly not in the Appendices or the Silmarillion, and I can't find a reference to it in "The Peoples of Middle Earth" either). I think the mistake in the writing here is due to the fact that Tolkien wrote about how Galadriel came into contact with Lorinand and began to influence it to the point that Sauron could get nothing done there.

Let’s go! I’ve been waiting for this video! Love the Chanel 🔥

[emerestthisk]

Top work yet again guys! This is so comprehensive

[danielsantiagourtado]

Thanks For this Guys! Love your content ❤❤❤❤

[TheHomelessDreamer]

As this is a recurring error, repeated in several videos:

Millennium = singular
Millennia = plural

Therefore it is "a (one) Millennium" not "a Millennia"

Thank you... subbed to both this channel and Kings and Generals and love videos on both.

The fall on the Númenóreans would make make for an epic movie trilogy

Thank goodness for channels like Wizards and Warriors doing Eru's work.
That way people won't confuse the travesty that is Amazon's Rings of Power as Tolkien lore.

Very nice maps and Animation! Tolkien started three stories set innthe second age, his first idea included Amroth and Agaldor a seer of the middle men, then he started a time travel story in which a father and his son traveled to Numenor and met their ancestor Elendil, then the story of Tal-Elmar, a young possibly native to later Gondor who gets caught by Numenorean Explorers and goes to Numenor and later travels all around the Westlands of Middle-Earth. He never finished any of these, they remain fragments... butbthey are never much mentioned by Content creators.

I know someone who worked on ROP season 2. As a Tolkien geek I actually told him the real second age and his response was "Dunno why we didn't just make that."

35:58 One does not simply...nevermind!

[filipmishkoski]

Bravo my friend waited so long for the 2nd age 😁

[joshuabenton]

The Rings of Power would have been a massive success if it merely focused on Numenor, the Elves, and Mordor. Some timeline issues would have to be compressed, but the story would have remained whole and entirely epic.

[What.in.a.name.of.Tolkien]

Epic as always! Love your channel guys ! keep it up! 💯🔥

[fredlandry]

This video is far better than the crappy Amazon Rings of Power series.

[mahoagha]

Boromir: "one does not simply walk into mordor"
Ar-Pharazôn: "I beg to differ"

[filipmishkoski]

Rings of Powers should take a note from this channel 😊
