- Prior to The History the only references were the text and a drawing by Tolkien that showed the central peak in the distance. The text stated that these were the “mightiest towers of Middle-earth.” The precipice above the gate stood a thousand feet—two-thirds that of our tallest modern building. In the drawing, the central tower, as seen from the Pass of Sirion, appeared immense—far higher than the Ered Engrin. It would have to have been at least five miles in diameter at the base and some 35,000 feet high!
