Where is Middle Earth
By Taehee Chang
So where is Middle Earth?
Have you ever wondered, where J.R.R. Tolkien's magical Middle Earth might be? Where adventure and danger lies, Middle Earth was the stage for all of J.R.R. Tolkien's novels, e.g. The Silmarillion, which had been a worldwide phenomenon and a start of the new age of fantasy books. Peter Jackson, the director of all J.R.R. Tolkien movie, had chosen New Zealand for the background of the movie. However, I disagree. I have concluded with numerous amount of research of trustworthy sources, that the Middle Earth, is based on Republic of Ecuador.
Middle Earth (mountains outlined)
Ecuador (mountains outlined)
Average Rainfall in Ecuador
Geographically Identical
Rivers apparently seems to flow the similar way.
The Hobbit
The Incan
The People.
Hmm...But what about this?
