So after rewatching just the beginning of FOTR, I’m thinking that some of the math doesn’t seem to add up. A few minutes in, Galadriel says that around 2,500 years have passed since Isildur (the man who killed Sauron) claimed the ring. Later, however, Gandalf reads that Isildur seems to have claimed the ring in the year 3434. And yet, in FOTR, the year is somewhere in the 1100s. Is this a mistake, or was the record that Gandalf was reading written after Isildur claimed it?
