>>/42508/ I concur it is impossible to imagine something that isn't based on our knowledge from the real world. Yeah, that's the map I used to see (on imageboards). I've to problems with that: 1. Where did Tolkien get a map about Europe from 20-30 000 BC? 2. That big turd across the western part of Carpathian basin which is non-existent irl, and never was there. The linked article says (from Google translate, but DeepL's translation is similar): > The only exception to the rule on Byrd's maps was the continuation of the Scandinavian Mountains through Denmark to northwest Germany (to end up with Tolkien's Misty Ridge). I guess it's about changing the geography of the ridge coming from Skandiland being the sole edit on the map. It is not. I do agree creating a political statement that condemns the communism from the work of Tolkien is silly, maybe even ridiculous. But I can't agree with the conclusion, the explanation why would Tolkien equal Mordor with these parts is contrived.
