Hobbits are an interesting breed located in Middle-earth. They are a short group, who are happy to keep themselves to themselves. They are most well known after settling in The Shire well into the Third Age, however, they certainly did exist before that time too!

Been laughing for 10minutes straight at “I for one, was one of those people who came into the world thanks to those movies.”. For some reason it took me way too long to realise you were saying you went on to read the books because of the films and not that your mum and dad were watching the films and got so taken in by it all that they decided to have a hobbit of their own.

You didn't mention how the Rohirrim knew about Hobbits. When the Rohirrim encountered Merry and Pippin, they mentioned how they were coming face to face with people from their legends. The Rohirrim even had their own word for Hobbits, Holbytla, which translates to hole-dweller. The fact that the Rohirrim knew about Hobbits isn't surprising when you think about Rohirric history. The Rohirrim during The Lord of the Rings are descended from men who lived to the northwest of Mirkwood. Given how ancient Hobbits lived to the west and on the west side of Mirkwood, the Rohirric ancestors lived directly to the north of the Hobbit ancestors.

Thanks a ton Auris. I love the work of JRR Tolkien, his world and his creatures, his stories and legends, but I also recognize that to try to force your opinions or your way of thinking on someone is so antithetical to Tolkien's view of honor and friendship. As the script writer for this particular video, I am very happy to see people enjoy it and know that we can disagree without being disagreeable to one another. Thanks again :)

Tolkien was a scholar of Germanic languages and mythology. One of these myths is about the 'Folk Wanderings' which is that during ancient times various Germanic tribes were semi-nomadic before they arrived in their present locations in Europe. There were massive migrations of Germanic tribes coming into the western Roman Empire and settling down for example. Modern scholars and scientists have linked these migrations to the spread of the Indo-European languages which seem to have originated in the steppes north of the Black Sea. I think this is the inspiration for Tolkien's description of the Hobbit migrations as well as the history of Rohan.

Can we get a video on who would win in a fight to the death. Feanor or Fingolfin. Sure Fingolfin got 7+1 hits on Morgath. But Morgath was weak at that time. The giant spider almost killed Morgath if it weren’t for Gothmog and the Balrogs. That’s who killed Feanor. Feanor has attitude and all his mothers strength. Yes Fingolfin was said to be the mightiest of all of fenwes kids. But I’m not so sure based on feats.

@darthwader4472 Жыл бұрын

I think they were simply a tribe of men created at the same time as everyone else, but who preferred to live quietly in distant wooden areas rather than go out on war and conquest. Either they were unusually short even to begin with, or multiple millenia of genetic selection led to their short stature. That being said, Yavanna might very well have asked her boss to make one tribe of men who would appreciate nature more than the others.

@marieroberts5664 6 күн бұрын

Fallowhides for sure. Bilbo is half Took, his mother was Belladonna Took, one of the daughters of the Old Took, the Thain of the Shire and Pippin's great-grandfather. I can't quite remember how Bilbo was related to the Brandybucks but I believe it was very near kin. Both The Bagginses were extremely respectable and so predictable, you normally knew what a Baggins would say on any subject without needing to ask, but while not anywhere as rich as the Tooks or the Brandybucks, they were part of the landed gentry, so I'd guess they too were mostly Fallowhides.

@@spangelicious837 as the writer for this particular video, I was going to say: these are literally tolkien's words, straight out of the prologue to the book this fellow is so ardently defending against amazon. I haven't seen the show but I've been reading Tolkien since I was 14 years old and I'm 37 now. I started writing professionally three years after I read The Silmarillion for the first time. Between then and now I'd like to think I've learned that there is no way to change someone's mind and no reason to wish to do so. I am not trying to do that. I'm trying to write about a series of books that I love and explain some of the lore to people who may not know about it, to anyone wanting to know more about Middle-earth but doesn't have the time to read the books. It would be a better world if we could disagree without being disagreeable, and remember that we are a community brought together by our love for this world, not by our hatred of others. thanks for watching the vid, friend. There is *always* hope.
