Tolkien's mythology.
Permalink  
 

You know I think Tolkien's mythology is the most simple mythology out there. It is so simple it has charactors it has a very simple creation main goods everthing makes since not to complicated of monsters. Everthing I have learned or have been taught about Arda I understand compleatly Mostly anywase. So if you can find a simpler mythology then tell me.

Actually it wasn't based on the bible. I am impressed that you knew about Tolkien so well, Sir Cody, but it was actually based off of Norse mythology. The beautiful thing about Tolkien, Olorin, is that it IS so simple, but yet so detailed.

I did not say it was so simple I said it is the simplest. And Tolkiens based his myth off of many mythologys Nores and the cathlic bible.

No I did not, that is interesting. Tolkien's Arda is based mostly off of the Cathlic bible and Nores mythology, but some others to.
