It's just another thing that makes Middle Earth so real, because it is impossible to know everything about a place that has existed for thousands of years. Tolkien was the key to it all, and there are some things we will never know (both about Middle Earth and our own world).
I agree with you completely about how it is very amazing.

Ditto!

Tolkien has inspired countless thousands of people. Even some that aren't writers, just ordinary people who love his books. His works are so incredible and creative. The way he describes Middle-earth, Aman, Beleriand, whatever, it just makes you feel like that is your own world, sort of like you created it, no one can 'intrude'.

Well, some things were left intentionally out so that it can really feel like it was a real place! Like Tigerlily said, no one even knows all the secrets to our world.

Um, I hope there was a point to my blabbering!

Sorry if this is spamming, but welcome back Galorme! We've missed you!
