       I read an article about a ring that was found in a field in England. This ring may have inspired J.R.R. Tolkien to write the books The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings. Researchers found a tablet that may have been linked to the ring. "The tablet says a man called Silvianus had lost a ring, and it asks Nodens to place a curse of ill health on Senicianus until he returned it to the temple."  states Fox news.  I think that this is important because this may have been what inspired J.R.R. Tolkien to write the books The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings! Many fans are in love with the books and have always wanted to know the cause. Now you know! Click HERE to read more.
