The Witch-king: Was His Death Really Foretold by Prophecy?

Описание: Was Glorfindel's declaration about the Witch-king truly a prophecy, or something more subtle?

In this video, I explore the fate of the Witch-king of Angmar, his role as Sauron's chief servant, and how arrogance, misunderstanding, and foresight intertwine in his final moments. Could it be that the Witch-king sealed his own doom by misinterpreting Glorfindel's words?
