Okay, just a clarificationn on a few things.

First, Beowulf was writen in the 900's AD, though it could have been centuries earlier.

Tolkien himself said that the War of the Ring happened some 6000 years ago. If we look at the Timeline of the Bible, this could be around the time of the Flood or little before.

Tolkien also stated that we could be somewhere in the 6th to 7th Age, as Ages have seemed to speed up.
