Middle-Earth History: Numenor
The island of Numenor was a relatively late addition to Tolkien's Middle Earth mythology, but it turned out to be tremendously important. In this video I get into the basic history of Numenor in Middle Earth, and explain a few interesting facts about it as well. Most of our information about the island of Numenor comes from the Silmarillion: https://www.amazon.com/Silmarillion-J-R-R-Tolkien/dp/0544338014/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1482069523&sr=8-1&keywords=silmarillion With some additional information found in the Unfinished Tales: https://www.amazon.com/Unfinished-N%C3%BAmenor-Middle-earth-J-R-R-Tolkien/dp/0544337999/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1482069566&sr=8-1&keywords=unfinished+tales+tolkien But its origins lie in a story Tolkien never finished: https://www.amazon.com/Lost-Other-Writings-History-Middle-Earth/dp/0345406850/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1482069606&sr=1-1&keywords=the+lost+road+and+other+writings --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/joshua6469/support
