Map of Whole Ancient Earth

[balrogman]

Hey does anyone know a site that shows a map of the whole ancient world(valinor,middle earth,east of mordor, etc...), not just middle earth plz?

[Mattius]

There are no other maps other than West of Middle Earth (including Beriland, the island of Numenor and I believe Valinor too but Im not sure about the last one.

Happy haunting, Balrogman smilies/smile.gif .

I believe that there are maps of the type you are looking for in a book called The Atlas of Middle Earth by Karen Wynn Fonstad. I have been meaning to get this for myself for some time, but have somehow not yet got round to it. smilies/frown.gif

I do have The Illustrated Tolkien Encyclopedia by David Day, which has maps showing the development of Arda through the the Ages, but they are unfortunately not very detailed.

I have two maps on my hard drive; one of Middle-earth and the Undying Lands and one of Numenor. Undfortunatly, I can see how to get them to you. Oh well, at least you know for sure that they exist.

[Tenduriel]

are there actually any maps at all of Valinor? it's just: I am very curious about how the "perfect" land would look like.

If you own the original 1967 edition of the LotR, FotR like I do, in the back they have a map of Middle Earth drawn by Biblo. It's not really drawn by him, but it's the map he drew in The Hobbit.

I have the Middle Earth atlas. It is well researched, although the maps are only two-colour which makes them a bit hard to read. I recommend it, and it will answer your questions.

Here are two maps, one is of Numenore
Map of Numenore (http://www.tolkien.homestead.com/Numenore.html)
and one of the whole of Arda
Map of Arda (http://www.tolkien.homestead.com/Arda.html)
I don't know who drew them, hope this helps.

Try buying HoME 4: Shaping of M-E.

[LePetitChoux]

There have been two threads that I know of on this same question. Here is the one I started (http://forum.barrowdowns.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic&f=2&t=001846), and I can't find the other one. smilies/smile.gif

Lalaith-Which M-E Atlas do you have? I wouldn't trust them if I was you.

[Lalaith]

I've got the Karen Wynn one. I only bought it recently, I haven't gone over it with a scholar's eye, I confess, I've just read through it fairly quickly. Do find it untrustworthy and if so why?

"A Tolkien Bestiary" by David Day features a map of all Arda and details all living things in the world of Arda recorded in Tolkien's writings. It also includes cool paintings of key events in the history of Arda, such as the destruction of the Trees of the Valar and the destruction of the Great Lamps before that.

A Tolkien Besitray is tosh ,seriosuly, I own it. Mandos's halls are palced far to the south, Beleriand is totally screwed up too.
