Tolkien also based on many stories including just simply history. He didn't see medieval ages right? :) Not every story you have knights, kings and dragons have to base on it :P.

Today not that many people read the trilogy comparing to 50 years ago :P. Maybe they saw movies.

@Mbern45 Asian works (particularly from Japan) are subjugated to their own "Tolkiens". As for Western fantasy, I still think there's some room for innovations. There are many creatures and magical races from all of Europe that Tolkien didn't include, not to mention the largely unexplored African folklore.

he must have studied medieval history a lot. Know enough about history and your story basically writes itself, if youre creative enough and put your heart and soul into it. Even such an amazingly well written world like Tolkiens is just a imitation of the epic world that we actually really live in. Tolkien himself experienced a lot of the downsides of the modern world. Industrialization destroying tradition and nature, people loosing their local uniqueness and the overall culture of whole countries becomes more or less standardized, while bevore the industrialisation every county and every village had its own specific culture and traditions. And then of course the war, wich must have felt like a dystopian nightmare to someone who grew up on the countryside in the 1800s. I think tolkiens world is an idealized version of our world. Its what our world should have been like according to him. And maybe its what our world would be like if humans just didnt lost their way somewere in the late 1800s

It always felt like a lot that Elendil's remaining lifetime went from the Fall of Númenor to the Last Alliance, in the meantime establishing Gondor with all its cities and monuments. But it makes more sense understanding the Faithful's extended lifetimes and that the lands that became Gondor weren't exactly unpopulated. Still it would be interesting to find historic precedents for how fast flourishing city-states and fortresses were established and built in real history. We may seriously underestimate what our stonemason and horse powered forebears accomplished.

Was going to make my own comment about this but you already pointed it out. Tolkien's Appendices blew my mind when I found out how many things I had mispronounced. C = K, DH = TH, AE = I, G is always hard so Region sounds out as Reg'-ee-on instead of sounding like Legion. Re-reading the Silmarillion with this insight was murder at first.

I'm curious about your take on what I consider to be the strangest aspect of Middle-Earth history, which Tolkien apparently never attempted to explain: in the relatively short time of 100 years, Elendil and his sons escape the downfall of Numenor and found both Gondor and Arnor, building Minas Anor, Minas Ithil, Annuminas, and the Emyn Beraid (at least). They also had a big enough army to be a substantial part of the War of the Last Alliance. They apparently did this with NINE SHIPS worth of people. Even if each ship carried 1,000 people (unlikely), this still doesn't add up. Do you know of any letters or footnotes where this was discussed? It's in the back of my head somehow that they "became the kings of" people who already existed in Eriador and Gondor, but I don't know where I read it or if I'm just making that up. Thanks!

There were Numenorean settlements throughout Middle-earth from their days of exploration and colonization. So there were already Dunedain living there. The people who escaped the Downfall with Elendil likely merged with the population of those settlements.

Tolkien himself likened Gondor in a degree to ancient Egypt, in terms of how Gondorians constructed gigantic stone structures, and the Crown of Gondor being similar to the crown of the Pharaohs of Egypt. Notably some "scholars" claimed that ancient Egypt was a colony of Atlantis, much like how Gondor was a survival of Numenor (although it is unknown if Tolkien considered this aspect).
