More importantly, what was Tolkien trying to tell us with these stories, where do they stem from? Is there some hidden 'truth' in some of his stories (villains morgot, sauron, saruman , the creation story of the world, the shape of the world..)?

There’s a ton of “LOTR was real” conspiracy theories, but I just can’t see enough of it to really think it’s any kind of reasonable. I’m entirely sure that a majority of our history is fake, and it might make more sense if we get a better picture of history.

yeah, I feel like there's something 'real' in LOTR lore, it's just that I don't know what it is
