Having read an article about Tolkein fans documenting everything and anything, I think we need to play catch up....
The LOTR Project is serious — OK, crazy — about Tolkien.
They’ve been quite busy charting, mapping, graphing and family-treeing all the creatures and places populating Middle-earth, and all the trends and stats you can possibly measure across Tolkien’s vast world.
The Tolkien fanatics at LOTR Project created a beard-centric “Dwarf Cheat Sheet” to The Hobbit movies. They plotted a sophisticated “Time and Distance” graph showing distance traveled each day by Frodo in Rings vs. Thorin and Company in The Hobbit. They did up a cool Periodic Table of Middle-earth.
With the release of the second Hobbit movie, The Desolation of Smaug, now comes their latest insane project: Six Degrees of Sauron.
Maps, graphs, cheat sheets, family trees, periodic tables....we need these too!
