Loved the movie and, knowing Tolkien, it was certainly based on historical fact.

It’s just a matter of working out the kinks so you don’t mistake a pyre or human sacrifice for a call for help.

Haha, that's right!

And another historical example:

"One if by land, and two if by sea"

Good for modern lovers of liberty to be familiar with tactics of old.
