I thought i had favorites but hearing Robert reading these descriptions gives me a lot more perspective and insight into how awesome these wonders are.
Agreed, Tolkien's description of the wonders and vastness of Khazad-dûm is amazingly immersive. I find myself constantly re-reading the chapter just to feel the flavour of his writings.
I have to go with angband, but because i stumbled upon the game by that name when i was only 5. I played that game to death more times than i can count
It feels like if you where in a city that was greater than any city of Gondor, like if in the caves there was truly an entirely civilization living some time ago.
i'll be honest, this feels like a list that should be divided in two, one to cover the first age and another to cover the ages after. because i dont think its fair to compare what was built in beleriand to what was built after the end of the first age.
Thank you so much for your work. Its richness and insight is ever a worthy treatment for a dearly beloved legendarium. Your delivery is especially peaceful and contemplative. This is a small thanks, I know, but a thanks dearly felt.
The Prancing Pony. How old Barley was able to keep that place going through a bizarre incident where an Underhill disappeared, black rider attacks, horses stolen from the stables, being cheated by Bill Ferny, ruffians, no customers coming up the greenway, pipe weed shortages, and still be able to serve the best beer and vittles in the Breeland is truly a wonder.
Thanks for mentioning the White Towers of Emyn Beraid. They are especially interested because they eventually become a suburb of the Shire in the Forth Age.
I must say the black gate of Mordor is pretty impressive. It’s so big it must have had magic involved in its construction. A normal gate wouldn’t ever be so big and be able work. It’s so big you need teams of trolls to open and close it. By the end of the third age it would be nigh impossible to take it by storm. It makes the fortifications of Barad-dur kinda redundant.
well - both the books and the movies show the gate collapsing when sauron was defeated. since the destruction of the ring was basically an undoing of saurons work and will its very likely that his power was at least in part imbued into them. he was after all originally a student and servant of Aule and an accomplished smith/craftsman.
Rivendell seems to draw its wonder from the power of the elven ring not from any feature of its design, scale or size. No one really remarks on Rivendell appearing wondrous, they remark on how it feels to stay there.
@@Solo_Traveling i think the video makes a good case from the text that lothlorien is something more unique and elf-y than a mid sized elegant fortress in a valley.
@factusnonverbus if rivendell is just a mid sized elegant fortress then lothlorient is just a bunch of ppl living in trees. Both are way more than this. But to each their own.
@@Solo_Traveling The thing is, Lothlotien has things that simply don't exist in the rest of Middle-earth history. The earth was specially treated and elevated and the mellyrn, were very special because they only grew there in all of Middle-Earth history and one only grew in the Shire because it was used special soil tended by Galadriel, an extremely skilled elven gardener, from the Land of Lothlórien itself. It wasn't just Nenya, Galadriel was equally important and made Lothlórien what it was. Lothlotien was more of a outworldy great garden of Fairy Queen. Rivendell was still, how can we say, beautiful, but "mundane".
Robert, your words are perilous for me as the sound of gulls was perilous to the Elves. I now yearn for Middle-Earth as they yearned for the Undying Lands.
I must agree with Moria topping this list. Just reading what little we are told of it in Fellowship is mind-boggling. It is immense, and an absolute wonder even after falling from glory.
Thank you so much for all that you do, Robert. I absolutely treasure your work and not only will I cross reference any new tidbit I pick up as I re-read my Tolkien collection every year, but I can sit down for hours and watch your deep dives into the lore of Middle Earth and never get tired of it. Just wanted you to know how much good you are putting into the world. Hantatyë
@@ilsebrauckhoff7689Gimli basically said they’d merely be opening doorways to new chambers and probably establishing walkable pathways. I don’t think that is enough to qualify for the list.
Thank you! Thoughtful and thought provoking video! Osgiliath and its Dome of Stars would have been on my list. Because we readers never got to travel there in LOTR, it is a symbol of lost magnificence, caused through the decline of men.
We should be a little more critical of Thingol. The Dwarves didn't just kill him out of greed. They asked for the necklace and he berated them, calling them the 'Stunted ones'. Sure the dwarves were out of line, but Thingol was also an ass
I love your videos Robert. I've just finished The Silmarillion for a second time this weekend, and the world Tolkien weaved really is incredible. Merry Christmas to you and yours.
Rivendell maybe, Helm’s Deep not so much. It really is just a simple fortress built into a very advantageous spot. It pales in comparison to something like Minas Tirith or Orthanc.
One other honorable mention, and a place I wish more had been written in about, is Dol Amroth. The way Tolkien wrote about it somehow always reminded me of Cair Paravel from Narnia.
I’d really love to see some videos on angband and thangorodrim….. they really are some gnarly places Morgoth wasn’t messing around when it came to his pad
Excellent choices. The description of Moria and Gimli's song are what really sucked me into the world on first reading. Next the natural wonders of middle earth!
What a good video! Truly well done. I loved the build-up and the honourable mentions, as well as the level of detail for each entry. Not too much, yet not simply naming them either. I would never have put your nr. 1 pick at the top of my list, but after listening to your reasoning, it did at least rise up in my own ranking. Very well done, I have enjoyed this video thoroughly.
Missed Tobold Hornblower's farm around Longbottom in the shire's Southfarthing where Old Toby pipe weed was grown. Surely that was a wonder of no mistake.
In my opinion, the portrayal of Moria / Khazad Dum in the Lord of the Rings Online MMO is the best rendition we have of it, compared to both the movies and even the original books. You actually have time to explore the place, and immerse yourself in it and the stories and lore there, unlike in both the movies and books where the Fellowship take the most direct route in the least time possible to make it to the other side as fast as possible. But I'm sure you already know how good a job the MMO does, given you frequently use screenshots from it :)
Another set of wonders but perhaps falls into the category of crafted or function, are the Beacon-hills of Gondor. While not as mighty or as timeless as the other monuments mentioned, they were stationed for a crucial purpose and manned for hundreds of years for one single goal. Call for aid.
I hope someone pops up one day and expands the world, focusing on dwarves and easterlings, and that they do it correctly. Probably impossible but it's nice to dream.
The greatest thing made by the hands of non-Valar was at the end of the Third Age: hope for a better future. That evil would be destroyed, and that despite the horrors of the world, and even despite the sacrifices and losses that we endure, that the world can be made a better place.
You by far make the best, most detailed and enjoyable LOTR videos. Many others, don’t include the little intricacies of Tolkien’s work. And you story-tell much more fluidly, than some other UA-camrs *cough* *cough* (Nerd of the Rings)
The Argonath, Minas Tirith, Orthanc, Menegroth, Barad-dûr, Caras Galadhon and Khazad-dum. I can't really argue with any of these picks. Maybe Gondolin could replace either the Argonath or Minas Tirith; but Gondolin stood for less than five centuries all told, and it was only seen by a limited number of people, relatively few of whom escaped its fall. Among residents of Middle Earth at the end of the Third Age, I think only Glorfindel had ever beheld it directly.
After learning more about the Argonath in the LOTR lore I became confused when I referenced back to the movies (the movies were my first exposure to LOTR). I realized that in FOTR the Argonath is actually made in the liknesses of Elendil with the right statue (you even see him holding Narsil in his right hand) and Isildur with the left statue. But after thinking about it further, I guess it made sense for it to be that way in the movie since Anarion is never mentioned nor shown.
I’m going to add one more building- just because of its impact up on the history of the North. It would be that unassuming village tavern and roadhouse, the Prancing Pony in Bree. The best beer in the North, delicious meals for every species, and rooms that catered to both big and little people! A place of civilization at the edge of civilization, keeping hearts, heads and hands warm for the travelers on many a long journey. Truly a representation of what is good in us all. Timber, wattle and daub, no fancy stone work, just the beauty of the crafts we take for granted.
I would replas Caras Galadhon with Gondolin. The capital of Lothlorien is undoubtedly awe inspiring, but I've always felt that awe comes from the natural beauty and elven magic (harmony with nature) rather than its constructs, and the description of Gondolin is nothing short of wondrous. Perhaps not the equal in beauty to Menegroth, but more impressive than Minas Tirith or Erebor (imo) and worthy to be called one of the wonders of the world.
What a fantastic list. I cannot disagree with any of these places. I could add another 7-13 places. But, to claim there were more deserving to be on a top 7… The passages you used to describe Loth Lorian were most beautiful. I find that I am saddest about this city’s demise vs. any other, which may be most ironical given that was designed to blend with nature. Then, with it being abandoned, simply returned to nature. Perhaps it reflects my sadness of the elves leaves. Anyhow, thanks for this great video just before Christmas. Happy holiday.
Mate I would love if you could make these kinds of videos for the Pirates of The Caribbean. Would listen to you for hours explaining why calypso forgave Jones or The POTC from Cutler Beckett's perspective.

Not just a city, but a whole country underground.
It feels like if you where in a city that was greater than any city of Gondor, like if in the caves there was truly an entirely civilization living some time ago.

Yes!
Right, this is like combining the wonders of the ancient world with the Eiffel Tower or the Burj Khalifa.
Yeah thats why we have the seven wonders and the seven ancient wonders
Last time I was this early, Feanor was still making the Silmarils
😂😂😂
That made me truly laugh out loud!
Don’t tell him his son celebrimbor managed to age into a dottering gran somehow in mids of power lol. I think they got confused n made Keebler elves

Thank you!
I just want to say the IDG's script and way of speaking, like cadence and everything, is just perfect for the subject
Last time I was this early, Melkor was still harmonious with the rest of the Valar
10/10
lolz
Why word, just after the creation of the Ainur. Early indeed.
He was never harmonious with the rest of the Valar. His ambition always overpowered his willingness to cooperate with anyone.
Melkor, bringing that bass tritone into the Valar Barbershop since before records began
The Prancing Pony. How old Barley was able to keep that place going through a bizarre incident where an Underhill disappeared, black rider attacks, horses stolen from the stables, being cheated by Bill Ferny, ruffians, no customers coming up the greenway, pipe weed shortages, and still be able to serve the best beer and vittles in the Breeland is truly a wonder.

Your soothing intelligent voice is a wonder in itself. Thank You!

Thanks for mentioning the White Towers of Emyn Beraid. They are especially interested because they eventually become a suburb of the Shire in the Forth Age.
Honorable mentions to Nargothrond, Thranduil's Halls, and The Glittering Caves of Aglarond are required.
I must say the black gate of Mordor is pretty impressive. It’s so big it must have had magic involved in its construction. A normal gate wouldn’t ever be so big and be able work. It’s so big you need teams of trolls to open and close it.
By the end of the third age it would be nigh impossible to take it by storm. It makes the fortifications of Barad-dur kinda redundant.
Redundant against mere elves, humans, and dwarves, perhaps - but not against Maiar...
well - both the books and the movies show the gate collapsing when sauron was defeated.
since the destruction of the ring was basically an undoing of saurons work and will its very likely that his power was at least in part imbued into them.
he was after all originally a student and servant of Aule and an accomplished smith/craftsman.
I came here to say this it must have been impressive
13:10 Mithril laced gates! That's a kingly gift!
To those saying they are early: remember, a wizard arrives not early, but precisely when he means to
This Istari agrees wholeheartedly!
🤣👍
True, true *strokes beard thoughtfully*
Tolkien actually never wrote that about wizards, thats a movie only thing. Made up by peter jacksons wife.
@@MrMiller27 It doesn't matter. It has WIZARD written ALL over it!
😂🤣👍
What if I mean to arrive early?
I would've included Rivendell. I remember the huge impact it had on me the first time I saw it in Fellowship of the Ring.
Rivendell seems to draw its wonder from the power of the elven ring not from any feature of its design, scale or size. No one really remarks on Rivendell appearing wondrous, they remark on how it feels to stay there.
@factusnonverbus this was also the case for Lothlorien though.

I nominate the glittering caves of Aglarond, after being beautified by Gimli and his kin.
i thought of that, too. Except Robert says that his list doesn't include natural wonders.
@@marcpeterson1092 it's not natural anymore after the dwarves did their magic.
@@ilsebrauckhoff7689Gimli basically said they’d merely be opening doorways to new chambers and probably establishing walkable pathways. I don’t think that is enough to qualify for the list.

Slight correction In Deep Geek: Osgiliath's bridge fell through during the Kin-strife which happened in the Third Age, not the Second Age.
We should be a little more critical of Thingol. The Dwarves didn't just kill him out of greed. They asked for the necklace and he berated them, calling them the 'Stunted ones'. Sure the dwarves were out of line, but Thingol was also an ass
That‘s hardly an excuse for killing him! Not even near
@GroppeljohannKlotenkempe-vr6oh I know, I'm not trying to excuse the dwarves. Just pointing out Thingol wasn't faultless in the event
What a wonderful video! Thanks so much for working to release these right up until Christmas
Gimli helped construct gates of Mithril for Minas Tirith in the 4th age!? Learning every day!
This is video is a work of art. Thank you& merry Christmas
2:40 this is such powerful writing. It would be awe-inspiring to see in person!
Ancient wonders are a reminder that we all live in the ruins of someone else's apocalypse.
I love your videos Robert. I've just finished The Silmarillion for a second time this weekend, and the world Tolkien weaved really is incredible. Merry Christmas to you and yours.
Your channel is a pure gem, one would say even one of youtube's seven wonders!

One of the Argonath, Peter Jackson should have made it look like the actor who portrayed Isildur.
No corrections, honestly. I think you nailed it. Merry Christmas!
This video makes me miss the travelers guide to Westeros videos you made. loved those and this talking about specific locations kinda feels similar
Playing return to Moria, the first time I entered Dwarrowdelf was awe inspiring
Well done Robert, another fantastic video to fall asleep to
As great job as always! I would've given Rivendell and Helm's Deep honorable mentions.

16:00 The Colossus of Rhodes was felled by an earthquake, barely 50 years after construction.

It’s a bit weird how In the movies the argonath are statues of Isildur and Elendil. And not Isildur and Anarion.
And they hold swords not axes
I'm glad the outer wall of Minas Tirith was made white instead of black, though
Yeah well the movies left so much out, and changed so much more.
Nice video, great to see you post it a second time, can't wait to see you post it again in 2 more years
I hope someone pops up one day and expands the world, focusing on dwarves and easterlings, and that they do it correctly. Probably impossible but it's nice to dream.
The cities of the Blue Mountains were probably amazing. The only above ground cities of Dwarves we know of.
The men of the East are one I'd like to know more about.
Were they truly enemies, or had they been deceived by Sauron?
this video makes me want to travel and see beautiful things
The greatest thing made by the hands of non-Valar was at the end of the Third Age: hope for a better future. That evil would be destroyed, and that despite the horrors of the world, and even despite the sacrifices and losses that we endure, that the world can be made a better place.

Caras Galadhon was built. It is literally Galadriel's great garden. It was more because of her gardening skills, than Nenya.
Though you dismissed it, I would include Gondolin and Nargothrond for they are wonders elven-made.

How the dwarves maintained their health without getting asthmatic for the lack of fresh air is mind-boggling.

It's not in Middle-earth. Middle-earth is the continent, Arda is the wider world.
