Timeless Cabinet: Languages of the Middle-earth

What Tolkien’s invented languages teach us about our languages and culture.

Tolkien created many languages to give life to Middle-earth. His task was so thoughtfully executed that these languages feel alive and mimic our languages and culture in surprising and realistic ways.

Timeless Cabinet blends history, archaeology, mythology, and science into insightful chunks to fuel our curiosity and desire to learn. Luring stories about fallen empires, puzzling artefacts, and groundbreaking ideas are enjoyable means to understand our past, our world, and ourselves.

About the author: Cristian Violatti is a public speaker, writer, and former editor at the World History Encyclopedia. He loves science, history, archaeology, mythology, and any 'ology' that delves into how we got here and where we are headed. He studied archaeology, focusing on ancient history, meaning he is needlessly worried about anything that has been either dead, lost, or destroyed for more than one thousand years.
