How GREAT Lord of the Rings is compared to Harry Potter and how it COPIED LOTR.

yes, enough of you; no need to post 4 posts after another.

Hang on! The Rosetta Stone wasn't a story! The Iliad based itself on a lot of Greek Mythology (in the same way fantasy today draws on contemporary mythology) but not on an Egyptian royal edict!

The significance of the Rosetta Stone was in its aid to translation.

Helloooo again!
😄 😄

Hello. I am BACK after my long absence of what 2 days?
he he.
anyway.
I'm going back to numbering my points. If anyone has a problem with that set up an online petition and I'll CONSIDER stopping doing it.
1)Preston Millans can make as MANY posts as he want, he only made 4 and they make more sense than all of my 32. Except for the americans cleverer than the english thing.....
2)Can someone explain what the Rosetta stone is?
3)I heard that thing about Tanya Grotter and it SO obviously was a fake thingy. one written after J.K.Rowling published Harry Pothead, sorry, i meant to say POTTER.
4)What are the 12 different endings?
4)

Why are people not with the voting on the poll?

not many visit this lotrplace and many don't like to vote

But...but...but

I think people aren't 100% happy with the poll options.

The Rosetta Stone was a vital find in understanding Egyptian Hieroglyphs. Hieroglyphs are so different to other written forms of language that, without a point of reference, it was near impossible for anyone to understand anythinmg beyond the mere basics.

The Rosetta Stone WAS that point of reference. It contained a royal proclamation given around 196BC in Egypt. Vitally, the message is given in three languages on the tablet. One of the languages was Egyptian, and one was ancient Greek, which we CAN understand. Once the Greek was translated to English (or more to the point, French, as they found it), we knew what the Egyptian Hieroglyphs there meant in English as well and from there the whole of the ancient Egyptian language was unravelled. Mostly.

If only there was a Rosetta Stone for the Maya. Then it wouldn't be such a crap trying to figure it out.

btw, Preston, Harry Potter didn't pull the sword of Godric Gryffindor out a stone. He pulled it out of the sorting hat.

Sorry about those four posts in a row, I was bored last Saturday Night. I don't know much about the Illiad or the Rosetta stone, just some stuff to throw at all you all. It'll never happen again.

I don't give a damn if you post 4 times in a row, it's fine with me. But I forgive you anyway. 😄

I bought a book containing the Iliad and the Oddysey. They would make good movies if I could understand them at all...

Ok. thank u for explaining stuff.

Now who wants me to change poll options?

Well, you can't. The poll has ended, and only mods can change the options.

But a change in options would be nice.

well...meh. no real reason to get this thread up again, the name of the thread itself makes the poll biased.

ok I love LOTR and Tolkien but a lot of things have cloaked dementors and wizards and a lot stuff- the best part of LOTR is ELVES

Rex, isn't a movie about Helen of Troy being made? And coming out soon?

Well, it was made for the television, or so I believe. I read a review that said it was crap. It basically gave the "If you like massive wars with bloody killing, sex, and a bad version of a good plot, watch this film!" sort of review.

Oh well...

Now I have to get cracking on the Iliad. It would be easier if it didn't say 'spake' and 'sate' (speak and sit) every ten seconds.

Helloo!
I know that thing about troy! They are making that movie with sean bean and orlando Bloom aren't they?
la la.
What do you mean only the moderators can change the poll? anyone know any moderators???
Ok, so if i DO get to change it, what do people people want the poll to be????????????
can i just say something REALY cool????/i am signed in at school wrting this. and i signed in cos i remembered my password! i remebered it! I NEVER remember what password i use for what...so i am quite proud. ok that was boring but anyway......

I'm a moderator. Ush's a moderator. but I see no real need for this poll to be ressurected.

Don;t forget the Aeneid, Rex...
