it says it was uh not made by Sauron but was<00:06:57.600> a<00:06:57.780> relic<00:06:58.080> of<00:06:58.199> the<00:06:58.319> devastating<00:06:58.680> works<00:06:59.039> of was a relic of the devastating works of was a relic of the devastating works of melkor<00:06:59.580> in<00:07:00.000> the<00:07:00.120> long<00:07:00.240> first<00:07:00.479> stage<00:07:00.840> now melkor in the long first stage now
melkor in the long first stage now here's<00:07:01.319> the<00:07:01.500> thing<00:07:01.620> all<00:07:01.860> right<00:07:02.039> so here's the thing all right so here's the thing all right so the<00:07:03.479> actual<00:07:03.720> quotation<00:07:04.139> is<00:07:04.440> in<00:07:04.620> full<00:07:04.800> is<00:07:05.160> the the actual quotation is in full is the
the actual quotation is in full is the land's<00:07:05.940> all<00:07:06.060> about<00:07:06.180> we're<00:07:06.539> scarred<00:07:06.900> from<00:07:07.080> its land's all about we're scarred from its land's all about we're scarred from its violent<00:07:07.560> volcanic<00:07:08.039> eruptions<00:07:08.520> which<00:07:09.180> were violent volcanic eruptions which were
violent volcanic eruptions which were not<00:07:09.479> made<00:07:09.720> by<00:07:09.960> Sauron<00:07:10.440> but<00:07:10.740> were<00:07:10.860> a<00:07:11.039> relic<00:07:11.280> of not made by Sauron but were a relic of not made by Sauron but were a relic of the<00:07:11.580> devastating<00:07:11.940> works<00:07:12.360> of<00:07:12.479> melkor<00:07:12.900> in<00:07:13.139> the
the devastating works of melkor in the the devastating works of melkor in the long<00:07:13.380> first<00:07:13.680> age<00:07:13.979> now<00:07:14.699> I<00:07:15.120> think<00:07:15.240> what<00:07:15.479> this long first age now I think what this long first age now I think what this means<00:07:15.900> actually<00:07:16.080> is<00:07:16.440> not<00:07:16.680> that<00:07:16.919> melkor<00:07:17.639> made
means actually is not that melkor made means actually is not that melkor made Mount<00:07:18.120> Doom<00:07:18.539> but<00:07:19.380> that<00:07:19.680> the<00:07:20.099> the<00:07:20.340> scarring<00:07:20.940> of Mount Doom but that the the scarring of
Mount Doom but that the the scarring of the<00:07:21.300> earth<00:07:21.419> about<00:07:21.720> it<00:07:22.020> was<00:07:22.500> made<00:07:22.740> by<00:07:23.039> melkor<00:07:23.580> in the earth about it was made by melkor in the earth about it was made by melkor in the<00:07:24.419> long<00:07:24.539> first<00:07:24.780> stage<00:07:25.139> and<00:07:25.680> and<00:07:25.860> that's
the long first stage and and that's the long first stage and and that's interesting<00:07:26.400> on<00:07:26.520> OneNote<00:07:26.880> because<00:07:27.380> we interesting on OneNote because we interesting on OneNote because we typically<00:07:28.740> think<00:07:28.979> of<00:07:29.160> melkor<00:07:29.699> and<00:07:30.180> his<00:07:30.360> Works typically think of melkor and his Works
typically think of melkor and his Works having<00:07:30.960> more<00:07:31.380> to<00:07:31.620> do<00:07:31.680> with<00:07:31.919> this<00:07:32.099> land<00:07:32.280> of having more to do with this land of having more to do with this land of valerion<00:07:33.000> which<00:07:33.419> was<00:07:33.720> far<00:07:34.020> far<00:07:34.259> away<00:07:34.440> to<00:07:34.740> the
valerion which was far far away to the valerion which was far far away to the Northwest<00:07:35.479> and<00:07:36.479> as<00:07:36.840> now<00:07:37.139> you<00:07:37.560> know<00:07:37.620> vanished Northwest and as now you know vanished
Northwest and as now you know vanished under<00:07:38.280> the<00:07:38.520> Seas<00:07:38.819> but<00:07:39.660> we<00:07:39.900> do<00:07:40.020> know<00:07:40.199> there<00:07:40.560> are under the Seas but we do know there are under the Seas but we do know there are notes<00:07:41.099> that<00:07:41.280> tell<00:07:41.460> us<00:07:41.639> that<00:07:41.960> melkor<00:07:42.960> had
notes that tell us that melkor had notes that tell us that melkor had operations<00:07:44.000> morgoth<00:07:45.000> had<00:07:45.120> operations<00:07:45.479> going operations morgoth had operations going operations morgoth had operations going on<00:07:46.080> even<00:07:46.919> in<00:07:47.699> other<00:07:48.479> regions<00:07:48.960> beside<00:07:49.620> valerion on even in other regions beside valerion
on even in other regions beside valerion that<00:07:50.759> we<00:07:50.880> just<00:07:51.000> don't<00:07:51.120> know<00:07:51.300> very<00:07:51.599> much<00:07:51.780> about that we just don't know very much about that we just don't know very much about but<00:07:52.979> he<00:07:53.099> was<00:07:53.220> at<00:07:53.400> work<00:07:53.520> amongst<00:07:54.000> the<00:07:54.660> men
but he was at work amongst the men but he was at work amongst the men certainly<00:07:55.319> of<00:07:55.500> these<00:07:55.680> regions<00:07:55.979> and<00:07:56.280> probably certainly of these regions and probably certainly of these regions and probably amongst<00:07:57.060> the<00:07:57.479> elves<00:07:57.780> as<00:07:58.020> well amongst the elves as well
amongst the elves as well so<00:07:59.940> my<00:08:00.360> take<00:08:00.479> on<00:08:00.660> this<00:08:00.780> is<00:08:01.020> not<00:08:01.259> that<00:08:01.800> it's<00:08:02.220> it so my take on this is not that it's it so my take on this is not that it's it means<00:08:02.639> that<00:08:02.699> Mel<00:08:02.900> himself<00:08:03.900> created<00:08:04.500> Mount means that Mel himself created Mount
means that Mel himself created Mount Doom<00:08:05.039> but<00:08:05.160> that<00:08:05.280> he<00:08:05.460> at<00:08:05.639> least<00:08:05.819> created<00:08:06.539> a<00:08:06.900> lot Doom but that he at least created a lot Doom but that he at least created a lot of<00:08:07.380> the<00:08:08.280> scarring<00:08:08.699> that's<00:08:08.940> involved<00:08:09.360> that<00:08:09.720> you
of the scarring that's involved that you of the scarring that's involved that you know<00:08:10.220> that<00:08:11.220> is<00:08:11.340> there<00:08:11.520> in<00:08:11.699> this<00:08:11.940> land know that is there in this land know that is there in this land now<00:08:13.560> maybe<00:08:13.680> you<00:08:13.919> read<00:08:14.039> it<00:08:14.220> differently<00:08:14.520> I'm now maybe you read it differently I'm
now maybe you read it differently I'm open<00:08:15.240> to<00:08:15.419> hearing<00:08:15.780> other<00:08:16.080> cases<00:08:16.500> for<00:08:16.800> whether open to hearing other cases for whether open to hearing other cases for whether it<00:08:17.280> was<00:08:17.400> actually<00:08:17.520> melchor<00:08:18.120> just<00:08:18.539> talking<00:08:18.780> to it was actually melchor just talking to
it was actually melchor just talking to me that<00:08:19.199> melchor<00:08:19.560> created<00:08:19.860> Mount<00:08:20.039> Doom<00:08:20.940> I me that melchor created Mount Doom I me that melchor created Mount Doom I don't<00:08:21.599> know<00:08:21.780> I<00:08:22.139> think<00:08:22.259> there<00:08:22.379> may<00:08:22.560> be<00:08:22.620> another don't know I think there may be another
