Do we live in Middle-earth?

[Thinhyandoiel]

By the way, Tolkien did state that Middle Earth was our world, but at an imaginary time in the past.

This is true. And it even says so in the Silmarillion (which I lent out, otherwise I'd find the quote for you). It said somewhere that the lands had changed, rivers moved, mountains flattened and rose since the passing of these events (or something to that effect). Can someone help me with that quote? Or is it from LOTR? Am I getting my books mixed up!? [img]smilies/eek.gif[/img] [img]smilies/eek.gif[/img] Not good...
