The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King (2003)
Part 6: The Beacons of Amon Din
Manu (@ManuclearBomb) and Emily (@JRRTweetien) call for aid, and Rohan will answer! We soar through the White Mountains exploring one of the most majestic and viscerally satisfying scenes in the trilogy, the lighting of the beacons! But first, we dig into its real life inspiration, the Beacons of Theophilos of the Byzantine Empire, and why the Byzantines are great framework for thinking about the kingdom of Gondor!
