Ahh... the dark ages. Somehow i wish that Rome didn't fall... oh well.


Only thing i will truly agree with is that the elves did sound like the celts. Just like the celts they we're forced from there land, and also like the celts they adapted to other cultures..( the romans). but, they still held to their old traditions.

i don't know about the Scandanavians and dwarves though.... Just like peter jackson said that Rohan in building layout is a more Scandanavian like... so, i think it's closer to Rohan....

Another thing to remember is that the Scandanavians where "a sea fareing peoples"... so, with that they might be even more close to the numenoreans... (if i am right)... they where called the ship kings right?

I will agree with a earlier statment the hobbits were a Victorian-like people... either that or the people belonging to the age of enlightenment... [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img] [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img]

Variety's the very spice of life, that gives it all it's flavour.
