I am afraid I stopped trying to magnify that map when I saw Numenore wasn't star shaped...

Yup, and I strongly discourage the idea that the equa- sorry, the "Belt of Arda" goes through Gondor. Bah! Nonsense! Even Gandalf talks about it with Pippin (or is it earlier? Sam? With Faramir? Aragorn? Oh, I completely forgot! Terrible! I hope it's just momentary, or I'm in big trouble!).

Are you talking Mithalwen, when Aragorn said (or maybe boasted ) that he'd been in Harad where the stars are strange?

1. Try not to read too quick, hwaim I'm not Mithalwen.

2. That's one thing, thanks for bringing it up - if the map were like that, then "strange stars" would have to be even in Gondor, so not that much strange... But what I meant was some sort of chatter "I thought when we'll be going south, there'll be just getting more warm and nice and everything." And the "wise fella" responds: "Maybe it were, but only in Harad, were it not for the Enemy." (or something in that sense)

If you all can read, it says: A COMPOSITE STUDY OF ARDA THROUGH OUT THE AGES. This means ALL AGES. This way you know the location of every single place in the same map its time. If not, you'd have to make dozens of maps. So, in conclusion, please read before writing.

That's okay. But that was just the first post. It's nothing offensive, but the map is geographically wrong (not five-star-shaped Númenor, the Lamps should have been sticking out of the ocean then, there should've been Almaren marked in the middle of Númenor in that case, and equator is southern than Gondor).
