The Real-Life Middle Earth, According to J.R.R. Tolkien Himself

Описание: Where on Earth is Middle Earth? Since The Lord of the Rings author J.R.R. Tolkien endeavored to create an English mythology through his works, surely, Middle Earth has some basis in the real world to accompany that mythology. Well, actually, it did. But it’s not all in New Zealand where the film was largely shot.

The Generalists explore the vast expanse of world history to provide you tidbits of general history knowledge to boast in every social setting.
