Interesting ideas Lhun

I think a lot of the things we find in Mythology as well have some resemblance to events, people, or places in LOTR.

There's this one Baltic Myhology story of two wizards battling it out. One was referred to as the "wicked wizard," the other the "good wizard." Even some of their powers resembled Gandalf and Saruman. They could gather storms, or make everything "darken." Also, they could grow taller, or atleast appear to grow taller, as Gandalf does to Bilbo. Now these wizards duked it out to the death, something that didn't happen in LOTR, and Gandalf and Saruman most likely didn't have a wizarding battle of karblasto beams like PJ showed
