An easy way to destroy the Ring . - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

This was never completely resolved, but it has been discussed quite a few times in the past.

Ulmo posed the same question in 2001 in The Great Eagle Mystery; then it was asked again in 2002 by Keeper of Dol Guldur in Are they all stupid?. It arose again this year with a thread started by Sardy, entitled Gandalf/Eagle -> Ring -> Mt. Doom?, and we touched on the subject in 2004 when Magician of Nathar started a thread called Flaws in Lord of the Rings... Yes in the book. In this last thread can be found my most recent opinion on the subject.

There's also rather a good argument for posting on the aforementioned threads here.

All other arguments aside, wouldn't the story have been a trifle dull had the Eagles carried the Ring to the fire?
