I always imagine Arda before as a big disc or pancake, where Aman is in the uttermost West. Around this disc there were the Outer ocean which was made a globe of water (Aman touched the outer ocean in the West. After the Downfall of Numenor every part of the pancake except Aman was bent to a globe admidst the 'englobing' Outer Ocean. Aman remained in the excact same position as it always had been only now it was 'hidden' in come veil of enchantment. (If it hadn't Aman woulc look like a Very Very BIG continent floating casually in the air - a sight mst men wouldn't be able to cope with - so to reduce the number of mental problems on 'earth' it was 'hidden'... ) [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]
