Some Elvish Mythology And Historical Facts

I am very happy to have stumbled upon this part of the forum. I was beginning to think that no one here had any idea that the movies were actually based on books. It is very frustrating reading questions put up by people who would know the answer if they took the time to pick up a book.

Are you thinking of Luthien? The story of Beren and Luthien was really good.

i dont know how many people noticed this or IF ITS JUST ME, but the entire middle earth saga sounds a lot like hindu mythology( i would know)

and there are several uses of hindu/indian names..........eg Nandini( see first book of the history of middle earth), thats also another name for a hindu goddess, Orissi is another indian name.

but the whole thing bout the gods existing and singing happiness , when an restless being grows evil( eg Melko-----sauron), where there are reknowned couples that are of a certain bloodline...........the same thing is found in old hindu scriptures...

so before u people start arguing i just put my piece in

I don't know anything about Hindu mythology, but Tolkien created his entire world based on languages. When he was in high school, he created a language with three of his own friends. From there he developed his interest in them and that's what coined the ideas for Lord of the Rings. He invented Elvish... and so he invented Elves... and so the story goes. He names all his Gods after something in his own language, but he must have drew them from somewhere, so perhaps it was from Hindu gods and stories. Who knows? Only he would...

welll Actually that makes sence now.........afterall english and latin are descendants of an indo-euro language

Yeah that probably makes the most sense.

Tolkien's mythology is Norse based.

And really, I do not want any attitude towards those who have not read the book- they are very welcome here (a MOVIE site) and can ask all the questions they like. I do not want anyone thinking they are less worthy here as they have not rewad the books.
