I watch a lot of different LOTR channels. This is the first time I have seen someone do such a thorough but concise work of explaining how the geography of Arda changed over the years. Well done!

[@jmiester25]

Thank you so much for properly educating all of us on this magnificent mythology.

Wow! Very interesting, I never knew LOTR had so much lore.

[@sivanlevi3867]

Thanks for making this. I am making a story about the Blue Wizards Alatar and Pallando and their journey to the east of Middle Earth and needed a better idea of the geography of where they're going. I'll also be adding new characters and explore regions we hardly know anything about in the books or movies. BTW, CivEx, you're talking a lot faster than before and it's getting harder to follow along. I'm just suggesting, but could you slow down your speach a bit?

[@CivilizationEx]

I've been speaking faster to make the videos shorter, but I think you're right it's getting to be a bit much, I'll try to slow down for the next one.

[@sivanlevi3867]

@@CivilizationEx Thanks. This is the first time in a long time that I've had a direct reply from you. Good luck and keep doing what you're doing, and don't let criticism hold you back.

@@sivanlevi3867 Thank you :)

[@dams6829]

Where will we be able to read this story of yours?

[@sivanlevi3867]

Well, I'm still in the long process of making it, and I am not sure about publishing it yet. It is more of a personal project at the moment.

"and Frodo Baggins who destroyed the ring in the fires of Mount Doom" Smeagol: am I a joke to you?

[@Emanon...]

Is it just me or is the cadence of your narration faster than usual? 10% slower would be more comfortable to listen to.

If that theory about us Humans being originally characters of Lord of the Rings is true due to reincarnation, then what has happened to the Elves and Dwarves? I can see the Elves being erased from existence because of them not having the gift of Mortality and 2nd Destiny, but what about the Dwarves who helped Eru make Earth? Edit: and what happened to the Hobbits and other of Eru's original creations?

[@CivilizationEx]

Dwarves remained as spirits serving the Vala Aule. Elves were gone, because they were tied to Arda. Hobbits and other offshoots of men had the same fate as men, so they ended up having a second life on earth also. As for other living creatures, their existence ended with Arda. Only humans, dwarves and elves had spirits that lived on after death, aside from the Valar and Maiar.

[@echidnanatsuki882]

@@CivilizationEx ok, now that's just sad for the non-humans. Having their entire existence wiped out entirely is just really sad. Like not even having a small pinch of your Atom surviving. But also, I have more Questions: 1. Since you said that Dwarves have continued to serve Aule as spirits, does that mean that they have become like Angels in a way? 2. Since Earth is basically just Eru's Arda 2.0 and that Earth isn't exactly as pure as what Eru planned it to be if you just look at our History and... you know, our current events, does that mean that Melkor or another Dark Valar interrupted Eru's 2nd Music again? 3. So if the Hobbits and other Human-like creatures got the same faith as the LotR Humans, then why are they also reincarnated as Humans instead of their own species? And ngl, it would've been cool if the Hobbits still got reincarnated as Hobbits on Eru's 2nd World which is our Earth. Or maybe they did, in the form of the Neanderthals?

[@CivilizationEx]

@@echidnanatsuki882 1. Yes the Dwarves became like Aule's Angels, but they weren't as powerful as the Ainur. 2. We don't know why the world is like it is, but since Melkor is an immortal Ainur, it's possible he darkened the second music as well. 3. Tolkien once said in letter that Hobbits do live in our world, but we can't see them cause they hide from us. But even if that's not the case, humans are not reborn in a similar looking bodies, like Elves, humans are entirely reincarnated, with no memory of past lives, so it's possible hobbits and other human-like beings were reborn as regular humans in this world because their spirits were never different from other humans to begin with.

[@echidnanatsuki882]

@@CivilizationEx I see, pretty interesting that Hobbits actually exists in our World. But I wonder why they would hide themselves from us. Now more questions: (sorry if this is annoying you, I just loved this theory about the fate of Eru's Creation that you showed) 1. Why are Hobbits keeping there existence a secret from us? Does that have something to do with our History of making other Animal Species and other fellow Human Species like the Neanderthals and Ancient Jakartans extinct, thus resulting on the Hobbits fearing us? 2. So Elves also reincarnated as Humans too? 3. Did Eru also planned for us Earth Humans to develop Religions like Christianity, Islam and Buddhism that are too different from his Old Religion? 4. Does our Earth also have it's own Dark Lord hiding in the Shadows and is entirely responsible for all the Bad Histories that we've done? 5. Speaking of Earth Religions, our Religions often talk about something about an *"End of Times"* . Is this supposed to be Eru's foreshadowing to us about another end of the universe scenario like in the first one with Arda or are they just massive coincidence that Eru did not planned to?

[@CivilizationEx]

I'm afraid only #2 has an answer. Elves did not reincarnate as humans, they had different spirits that died with the first world. Hobbits, Druedain and other human-like species, had the same spirits as humans. As for all your other questions there are no answers. Tolkien didn't talk about any of that, and he didn't even confirm our Earth is the second song, that's only a theory that is hinted at, so there is no info about how our world corresponds with the old world.

Please do Star Wars again

[@Gaster15]

So in the end our world was created and all other races were gone.😢

[@medchir1818]

Slow down your speaking and your videos would be so much better. It’s a good video but not relaxing to listen to at all so I stopped.

[@DenofLore]

Morgoth didn't want to take over middle earth - he wanted to destroy it and all lands completely because he was a pouty child with BPD and daddy issues.

I wonder if there were good orcs who rebeled against souron morgoth and saruman
