I am not sure about that. I read somewhere also (though this is obviously unsupportable as I have no proof) that it did take place in an area kind of like olde England. As far as 6000 years that would seem right, but again I am not sure. I do know I did a paper on Tolkien and used a lot of comparisons as to what I thought it meant. Historically we know the ideas came from the war and the people and locations he was familiar with. AS to the time frame I cannot be sure. I don't know if this helps.
