Thursday Tolkien Thoughts: Druedain Statues, the Watchers of Cirith Ungol, and Morgoth’s Ring???
A chance (as they say in Middle-earth) series of events led me to speculate on the nature of the two watchers at the gate of the Tower of Cirith Ungol, which I had previously wondered about but never had a good theory for. Hat tips for inspiring this idea go to David Rowe (see his appearance on my channel here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eOHLbX0u8EI&pp=ygUpdG9sa2llbiBsb3JlIGRhdmlkIHJvd2Ugd2lzZG9tIG9mIHRvbGtpZW4%3D), Emir Ali Demirel (Twitter: https://twitter.com/EmirAliDemirelh) and @GirlNextGondor (the specific video I referenced is here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cky0M-Wm_j0&pp=ygUjZ2lybG5leHRnb25kb3IgZG93biB0aGUgaG9iYml0IGhvbGU%3D).
