I don't know if there are any harmonic convergences with the Shire Reckoning or the King's Reckoning or the Quenya yén though.

That is indeed slightly sinister. And what about the Maya/Maiar linguistic similarity?


I wonder if the fate of Numenor may be brought to pass? What with Tolkien's dreams about the giant wave engulfing the land and the 2012/Notion Club Papers/Numenorean link? Apparently there is a big slice of Gran Canaria just waiting for a moment to slide off into the Atlantic...

If i continue finding strange coincidences like this I shall have to dig out my old "Y2K Survival Manual" - bought for 49p in January 2000, and a most entertaining read.
