Sauron And Mordor

So many people think that Sauron made Mordor. This is not true! It says that he came to came to Mordor: "After the War of Wrath and the defeat of his master Morgoth, Sauron fled for a time into the east of the world.2 A period of one thousand years followed in which Sauron was not seen in the west of Middle-earth. As the first millennium of the Second Age turned, Sauron came back. He took the fenced and mountainous land of Mordor, and there began building his mighty Dark Tower of Barad-dûr.
The beginning of Sauron's reign as Dark Lord can be dated from this time: he set himself no less a goal than the conquest of Middle-earth, and perhaps even of Númenor itself.

So it is not true. Just to clear this subject up. Thank you.

Something from the Annals of Arda:

Quote:

Mordor had not always been. In the First age, the Inland Sea of Helcar covered the area but the turmoil at the end of the age uplifted lands where none before had been and drowned others. The Sea of Helcar nearly vanished, leaving only small parts left: the Sea of Nurnen and Sea of Rhûn. The mountains Ered Lithui and Ephel Dúath were raised and those became the boundries of Mordor. In the beginning of the Second age Mordor, was a desolate land but it did not last. In the Second age around the first millennium, Sauron, , scared by the power of the Númenorians, chooses Mordor as the place to build his stronghold and he starts to build Barad-Dûr.

There was a post that someone put up and said that Sauron made Mordor. Can't remember who. Sad.
