In this original exploration of the relationship between J.R.R. Tolkien's fictionalised search for the One Ring and the mythical quest for the Holy Grail, Laurence Gardner reveals how the Ring Lords, the most ancient guardians of our culture, lived in the earliest of Sumerian and Seythian times over five thousand years ago, long before Buddha, Christ and Mohammed.
The magical history of the Ring Lords, portrayed as a race of elves in Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings, has been consigned to legend and tales of half-remembered battles between good and devil. Shrouded in supernatural; enigma, its legacy lives on I tales of dragons, fairies, witches and vampires. The Ring Lords have never been positively identified in academic teachings; instead, their reality was quashed from the earliest days of inquisitional suppression and the literal diminution of their figures caused a parallel diminishing of their history.
