For close to 70 years J.R.R. Tolkien's masterpiece of fantasy fiction "Lord of the Rings" trilogy has been read, watched and adored by millions. But what if it wasn't just fantasy thought up by Tolkien's fantastic imagination? What if the epic struggle for Middle Earth was really a retelling of the true history of ancient Europe of 6500 yrs ago? And what if none other than J.R.R. Tolkien was the one who said so? This week we dig into the idea that LOTR and its sequels are taken directly from the pages of a book read by Tolkien deep in the bowels of the Oxford University library that tells the true history of early man's struggle for power against real life subspecies of the human race.   Robert Kearney's Twitter Feed (re: LOTR) Tolkien's Middle Earth - True History?
