Did this inspire Tolkien to write about The Precioussssss?

We have had a couple serious weeks around here, and so I am having a little fun with my blog today.

Therefore, please go to read this VERY COOL piece at the History blog.  HERE.

It has to do with ancient pagan gods, J.R.R. Tolkien, a lost and – centuries later found – cursed gold ring too big for a person’s finger, a lead curse-tablet with the name of the person who inscribed his name on the ring …

It may have been the inspiration for Tolkien to write about a certain other gold ring.

Just too cool.
