War Pig1237 wrote: I believe that it detracts from the works of Professor Tolkien to attempt to apply our world to that of Arda, as while Tolkien's world may have been influenced by the geography of our own, it for the most part remains un-connected from it (save perhaps in the Book of Lost Tales) and entirely fictitious. Additionally, please note that Professor Tolkien specified that Hobbiton is on the same latitude as Oxford, while the Italian city of Ravenna is believed to have been the inspiration for Minas Tirith.
