If anybody is wandering what the easterlings are chanting; "Za dashu snaku Zigur, Durbgu nazgshu, Durbgu dashshu!" (Hail, Sauron, Lord of the Ring, Lord of the Earth!)
The Easterlings were so coooool! I just wish they had a little more screen time, even though you could see them in the background of the Minas Tirrith courtyard battle.
@spycrabzftw They're both mostly middle-eastern inspired, from what I've seen. The Haradim wear cloth headwraps and have war elephants, as well as being played by generally Arab-region actors (you see one's face during the Gondor ranger ambush), while the men of Rhun are similarly dark-skinned, but with a combination of Persian Empire armor and Roman centurion-style shields. After all, they're spearmen: a phalanx formation would make sense for them.
The Easterling military has that flare that most nations would KILL for. That call-and-response chant? Completely badass for the side that's using it, and causes mass brick-shitting in whatever enemy hears it.
so i dont get it....sam and frodo covered themseves in a cloak to resemble a rock, but before that they were scrambling around for what to do and they were awfully close to that army...so when the 2 soldiers wentto go check out what was going on the hobbits were not quite yet covered....sooooo shouldn't these 2 soldiers have seen them?
Lauren Statham in fellowship of the ring gladriel gave em the elvish cloak where they can't been seen and these are eastelings marching on the men of lake town and the dwarfs of erebor in the battle of ring final assault lord dain has alot heat going his way its called the northern defense against mordor the blue wizards fought in that battle
The Easterlings are so cool, shame we never got to see them in action I think/get the impression that they're proficient fighters, those Spears look devastating, I'd love to see them get their own movie, they're so fascinating The Easterlings are so Underrated, I think they're a mixture of Persians and Samurais, shame The Easterlings didn't bring Pizzas for The Orcs (That's what they did in Lego Lord of The Rings) 😂
That's...astonishingly non-creepy considering how obscure it is. Then again, odd and frightening are two very different things. The former raises eyebrows, the latter turns stomachs.
@MultiKillerBot which is funny cause i would always think sauron enslaving the entire world around their mountains and solidifying His power would only make the dwarves fight with men for themselves. I really like what they were doing with the elves in the third age, gave a real impression that change was coming, and the elves knew that they had to go. though sometimes I just wish we got to see them fight more.
@lolhelios Hmm...fair enough. I can hear the shouts alright, but I can't hear the enunciation as you've written it. Then again, I'm guessing that the men of Rhun pronounce things differently than a native English speaker would :P
something is wrong....the easterlings come from Rhun, and Rhun lies in the North-East. then why do the easterlings come to the Black Gate from the south?
@@AaronRowland-y5w but then they would have to be coming *out* of the Black Gate, not inside. the way this scene is set up, the easterlings would have to be coming from Ithilien in Gondor, which is on the far side of Mordor from Rhun
@@blueshit199Tolkien described the area around the black gate as rifted, swampy with just a few roads. Even though they might come from the east they must bypass the deadly terrain. Also the army of the Last Alliance had to come from the south route due to the marches - only Gollum knows secures passages.
@RASASman dont know what you are talking about, easterlings looked different than this in the books, the movie did a good job on their appearnce, but they looked nothign like this in the decription of the books, more viking barbarian like in the book
Anyone here play 40k? If I had to assign a sound to the unearthly and unnerving Dirge Casters that the forces of Chaos use on their vehicles to demoralize their foes... Yeah. The Rhun and Harad battlecries blasting from them would be pants-shittingly scary.
Is the Easterlings war chants based after the Haka?It does sound similair. Anyways, their chants are so badass and intimidating, you can even see when they first show them Gollum is scared shitless lol.
Milton Soto You wrong there, these guys are the Haradrim - those guys live south from Mordor. The Easterlings are coming north-east from Mordor. Between those two are (of course Mordor) and the Variages of Khan, who are direct east from Mordor I belive....
You can catch a glimpse of them when the Orcs break into Minas Tirith. They're way in the back of the shot. I didn't notice them for a long time, you can only really see their pointy helmets for like a second.
@nabplayer No, a man from Faramirs guards says, every day tousends Haradrims and Easterlings go to Mordor...this was one of the many troops. On Minas-tirith you can see a lot of the Easterling between Orks and Trolls. but the full Army of the Easterlings is not to show in the Movie.
Lol, since the first time I saw this, I've always been disturbed by the fact that they come from the south in this video, and I saw this for the first time when I was like eight or something...
@electricbayonet2 It's true, it's quite hard to hear. the loud voice shouts za dashu snaku Zigur, and the soldiers respond in the background with durbgu nazgshu and durbgu dashshu.
@KulakxFilms honestly, i am beggining to believe that these are the Haradrim, because the Easterlings played a bigger role in the north of middle earth, actualy im pretty sure they are Haradrim, notice that ambush in the two towers, the mumakil, they had similar armor on with the haradrim symbol, i think they are now mistaken in it, even though they easterlings did play a roll in the war, i dont think they are at all shown in the movie, just harad
@RASASman Continued I also made note before that the Easterlings aren't purely Persia-inspired. Judging by their shields, accompanying weapons, and practically being built for phalanx formations, there's a heavy Roman Empire influence at hand.
@RASASman Ugh, good Christ...just because you specifically have light skin doesn't make it an ethnic norm. Hell, I dated a girl with Iranian (the closest thing to Persian you'll find nowadays) parents, and she had relatively light skin. That hardly meant she was Caucasian. And yes, the Easterlings (and Haradim, too) were dark skinned. One of the Haradim is unmasked during an ambush, and he's played by a Middle Eastern/Arabic actor. And the Easterlings are described as tall and dark skinned.
@RASASman ...just to establish it right now, I'm talking about Persia when it was still called Persia. Like, thousands of years ago. Not right now. That's clear, right?
@xXSARS48Xx if they couldnt get there from the north, then they should have walked to the east and then to the south, but from that side you can march into mordor, so its still not right
@RASASman What, because Turkey and Rome both had empires? That means practically nothing. It'd be like assuming that I go to work dressed the same way as a construction worker because both of us own cars.
@@frazercass3769 it was the Easterlings too, but only for a few seconds at the gate. In the book they are among the last of the Mordor host fighting as they despise Gondor and the Men of the west. Peter Jackson should have given them a greater role in the movie but there's only so much of this story you can fit into a film
@nabplayer --------------------- Even if it was, that's all they NEED to send. They were deployed as shock troopers right behind the Olag-Hai at the great gates of Minas Tirith.
@turk1991turkboi First, I think their skin looks persian, but anyway. The Huns were a large group of people that are usually called a nomadic people from the Mongolia area, and therefore a turkic people, but they were actually just a big mix of people with loads of different origins, all the way from Mongolia to central Europe, and most of the huns that we know of were actually from the area around Ukraine, and many Germanic peoples joined the "Hunnic movement" too, it wasn't really a people.
@RASASman Why should I bother with that? There's an unnecessarily restrictive character limit, and it clutters the page with unrelated comments. I've no reason to be against continuing in private, since I don't care about making a spectacle of a debate. Want to continue? Great. Change your settings and we'll proceed.
@AntagonisticEnemy Take it up with 'Rasaman.' He started spamming posts as soon as I made an offhanded remark about the inspiration for the Easterling armor. I tried to move it to PM to prevent a pile of junk posts, but... Hell, you can take a look for yourself. It's kind of funny to read.
@RASASman Okay. If you want to leave, by all means. All I asked for was a change in medium (entirely reasonable) to make things easier for both of us, and to reduce page clutter. I'm more than willing to address your points: the only issue is that you actively refuse to allow the answers to get through. Since you seem entirely unwilling to do so, my only guess is that you're terrified of actually hearing my replies in case I happen to be right.
@RASASman Mhm. I already told you, plain and simple: I'll gladly continue the debate if you're willing to do so via PM. I wrote a PM and, ah, lo and behold: you've set up your account so it refuses PM's. So, since you're entirely willing to make a move to an *easier to use* medium, and you're apparently too dense to distinguish the word 'electric,' I didn't bother to reply any further. If you want to accept PMs now, by all means. I've still got my message saved. If not, no skin off my nose.
@RASASman Know what? I'll even add to the reply I have easily transmittable via PM. As I said before, the only thing in the way of this debate continuing (which you claim to want) is your refusal to accept my counterpoints.
@RASASman And you still prattle on, for some reason. I've given one condition for continuing this argument, and that's to continue via PM. It's a dramatically simpler format, there's no character limit, and it at least helps *me* keep all your comments straight when you make half a dozen responses to any single reply I make. So in other words, you "insist" that you want to continue, yet refuse to actually do the one thing that would allow us to continue. What's that say, hm?
@RASASman See, here's the thing: I wrote up a PM, and was lucky enough to copy it on the off chance that you had internet training-wheels preventing people from messaging you. It's a single message. You, on the other hand, are writing piles of comments, not one larger one and then splitting it up. How "easy" posting is for you is completely irrelevant. So by all means, continue as you are. Blackguard seems to have turned against you already. I've done my work: you simply refuse to accept it.
@mcownalot yes i know that, but they wear the exact same armor as the Harad, so it can be safe to say that is the Harad replacing the Easterlings of that scene, just like they replaced Glorfindel with Arwen in the fellowship of the ring during the horse chase with the nazgul, so im 100% that is the harad, and the easterlings were just probably going to be put up but with all the differnt types of humans they just decided it would be easiier to fill the spots up with harad
@mcownalot im not sure if you watched the TWO TOWERS, with the scene of haradrim with oliphants or mumakil, but they had the same armour, just with more cloth, and they had the harad symbol, so i am saying its safe to say that the easterlings in this movie are an advanced unit of harad, not easterlings its self.
@mcownalot i mean, they have the same armor as harad, but then are called easterlings, and like, its realy a cluster fuck, and i honeslty dont think they care

they have pretty eyes
