Come on how can you guys just say a big NO.
Come on there has to be more to your argument than that.You mean to tell me you read the entire post and thats all you came up with.
To the orthers I really appricate your reading and making an actual argument.
As for the number 5 I noticed that too.Well I don't know about that.
I do not think Tolkien based the Lord of the Rings off of world war 1 and 2.I just think he was infulnced by them.Who wouldn't be.
As for the Tolkien Gandalf connection.The same things can be said for many.It was just one of many of his personalty traits I noticed he put into the charctors.
Locations in middel earth
If you look at the maps for Middle Earth you see certin patterns in there.
Cardinal directions North East South west
Four elments Air Fire Earth Water
Now many might disagree but I have found in many celtic,Nordic,and Druidic oppenion that each elment has a direction.
Fire in the East since that is where the sun rises.
Air to the North.
West to water since it is the oppsite to fire.
South to the earth since it is heavy and oppsite to air.
Now that you understan this look at the map to Middle Earth.
Where do you see Mordore?South East where fire and earth come togther.
Where do you see the Great Sea?The West
The greatest mountian range starts strongest in the south and ends in the North.
Do you see any orther exampels?
I am shure this has some aspects that conflict.But again its just an theory.
What huh bible code what are you talking about.I never reffered to a Bible code in any post.I have talked about things I think Tolkien had insperation from.One being the Bible.He was a devout christian you know.As for too analitical its a disscussion if you think I am wrong back it up with an actual argument.I have no problem with disagreements.I like them whats your problem?If you don't have anything to say but that please don't comment.I am not intersted.
