hahahahahaha yes!!!! I wonder who else gets this joke

I'd say at least 90% of the people reading this forum get that joke. Those chats have been posted here several times in the past.

Those are the Argonath. The statues are of Isildur and Anarion. They're just the marking for the northern border of the Kingdom of Gondor.

What is an Argonath, who is Anarion? I love reading what you guys know about it, its awesome.

One of those two statues, and Isildur's brother.

The Balrog is a race of beasts created by Morgoth, Sauron's master and former Valar named Melkor. Think of Morgoth as Lucifer and the Balrog being his chief demons, along with Dragons. The Balrog they find in Moria was a Balrog from the First Age that, though they don't really explain it to my recollection, passed out of knowledge and into hiebernation(sp?) deep in the mountains, where sometime during the Third Age(I believe) the Drwaves were mining and awoke it.

And actually Sarien is right, though I don't agree with how he put it, but the Silmarillion mirrors the Bible very closely, thanks to Tolkien being a devote Catholic. Illuvatar is the name of God, Melkor would be Lucifer, Manwe would probably be the Archangel Gabriel or another of the high ranking Angels and is brother to Melkor. Elves are the first born and are the perfection of life, Humans are the Followers and Dwarves were created by one of the Valar, not by Illuvatar(God) himself.

Balrogs were Maiar same as Gandalf and Sauron.

That balrog was Durin's Bane. He escaped from Angband when the Valar attacked Morgoth. And that's where he took up residence.

Your newfound Jesuslove has served to push you the rest of the way off your nut.

Take a look at that, they even have a moviegoer's guide to explain differences.

[Pressure]

Excuse me for not having everything perfectly correct, haven't read Silmarillion in a long while

[Sarien]

I wasn't talking about that.

I was talking about your alliterations between that book and the bible, man. It's the kind of thing that christians I tend to laugh at do.

pssst, it's not real.

[Miku19]

Thix, you really SHOULD read Silmarillion if you have all these questions. Those vets were a lot l33t3r than all those new guys (elves, humans and dwarves).

Morgoth >> Sauron
