Dear Robert Pettigrew Yes, I’d respectfully disagree with Yoystan on that point too. Amon Sûl is such a strategically important location & it’d be a waste to let it lie in ruin. Rebuilding it + adding a monument for remembrance of its history & the sacrifice of the forebears, would give Weathertop actual functionality on top of symbolic significance.

I first read Tolkien at age 11, 42 years ago. Before CGI, before Internet. The world that was created by words on a paper always left so much to the imagination. It is wonderful to have someone such as yourself that has done all the research into the backstories and present it the way you do. You are doing such a great job.

There's a Treasure Hunt in my State of Utah being sponsored by a family from Instagram! They have a riddle that you need to solve to find the treasure of $20,000! But the riddle is Lord of the Rings themed and it mentions the Weathertop and I'm so thankful to use your awesome video to try to solve this treasure! It's so popular now, that it's been mentioned in our local news stations!! Thanks for the video!!🪙💰😊👍🏻

Great topic choice! The backstory of Weathertop, and Arnor altogether, is something I've never really payed much attention to in Middle-Earth. You brought it to life, and once again I'm craving more! Always look forward to your content

No wonder the thing is in ruins. By those pictures, they didn't even build a retaining wall. Soil erosion wins again.

I would expect weather too was left a ruin during the early 4th age, because it was a time of peace- no need to waste ones wealth in fortifications like that. I would hope they built more beautiful parklands and villages.

I never thought about that the way you just expressed it. I would have liked to have seen it restored but when you put it like that I think it looks better as a relic. I'm glad I don't live in the Middle Earth. I wouldn't have lasted 10 minutes. Even though people tell me I look like aragorn and I mean a lot of people. I'm a lot bigger and more muscular but I can't use a sword very well lol

A strategic point like that for defense and the security of trade within the realm, I know history is important but a good and wise leader would preserve what artifacts they could for a museum and refortify that hilltop for the good of their people. More lives will be saved and lives more prosperous from a secure trade route then a powerful symbol like that

Not yet, though both will come eventually!

I want all of this to shine on TV or in the Cinemas! The story of Gandalf encountering the Nazgul at Weathertop the barrow whites and Tom Bombadil who I think should be played by Brian Blessed, Saoirse Ronan for Goldberry, The story of Angmar from the north. This is gonna sound really stupid but with the story of Gandalf escaping Isengard and reaching Weathertop before the Hobbits makes me compelled to see the War of the Ring in the third age shine as a TV Series. I'm wondering if it hurts to have Peter Jackon's Oscar winning trilogy fleshed out quite a bit, adding every important information that never made into the original films? What do you think?

Personally I couldn’t disagree with that one comment you made about that ancient ruin weather top and if anything I feel like it would be their solemn duty to restore it if not for the strategic value then in a manner of paying respect to their ancestors as well as having it as a monument to all those that died defending the lands against the forces of darkness as a way of paying tribute to their ancestors that fought and bleed against there enemies so that future generations could live to fight another day.
