About the peoples of the east (Aragorn's travel) - Rhûn, Khand and Variags. Tolkien said he was inspired by Asia (China, Japan, etc):
"When asked in an interview what lay east of Rhûn, Tolkien replied "Rhûn is the Elvish word for 'east'. Asia, China, Japan, and all things which people in the west regard as far away."
In an early versions of "The Hobbit", Bilbo's speech about facing the "dragon peoples of the east" had an reference of China and the Hindu Kush:
>"In the earliest drafts of The Hobbit, Bilbo offered to walk from the Shire 'to [cancelled: Hindu Kush] the Great Desert of Gobi and fight the Wild Wire worm(s) of the Chinese. In a slightly later version J.R.R. Tolkien altered this to say 'to the last desert in the East and fight the Wild Wireworms of the Chinese' and in the final version it was altered once more to say 'to the East of East and fight the wild Were-worms in the Last Desert'."
History of Middle Earth - The First Phase, "The Pryftan Fragment", p. 9
I always saw the barbarian invasions (Wainriders, Balchots, peoples of Rhûn) from the far east against the northwest of Middle-earth as a reference to European historiography with the onslaughts of (semi) nomadic Asian peoples (the Scythians, Huns, Mongols, etc.).
I think Tolkien left very few details about the peoples of the East (Rhûn, Variags, Khand) and South (Harad) because he didn't have (correct me if I'm wrong) as much interest or scholarly access to the mythologies , African and Asian histories and cultures. But even if he had contact with this knowledge, i have the impression that Tolkien would not want to fall into an "orientalist" vision of the 19th and 20th century period that was predominant in the imagination and the portrait that was made of these continents.
Tolkien spent years studying and reading his passion for European mythologies. He spent years and years building Middle-earth. I imagine he would need the same "work and time" to incorporate African and Asian cultures in his work.
Even if he didn't want to incorporate other cultures, that would be fine as well.
I've never understood why everyone insists on depicting aragorn with a beard. It's the strangest thing.
Also Elrond did not give Aragorn the scepter of Annuminas. He said that if they day should come when he would rule both arnor and gondor. Then he would receive his family heirloom.
None of these vids ever talk about his moria trip
Greek subtitles???
Yes, why not? Are subtitles in your own language useful for your country? Or have I wasted my time?
I love your videos but please make an effort to pronounce things correctly
It's an AI created voice. Its not a real person talking
And possibly an AI created script as well
@@jeremymoore8099 oh my bad. I didn't know that. I am pretty uninformed with the AI thing.
Aragorn did not receive the sceptre from Elrond until he became king. Definitely not as a child. Maybe learn.
Actually, I didn't mean to say that he took it and started using it, but you are right. Maybe it would have been more accurate to say he mentioned it
Apparently trying to find Michael Jackson’s dermatologist.
WTF? Arwen had dark hair.
i know what he was doing, he wasn't being black.
Yeah but he wore black and pulled it off really well
But representation is important.
It'll inspire youngsters to become doctors and engineers.
Something that 8 years of Obama couldn't do apparently........🤔🤔🤔🤔
