You know this ties in to something very interesting that was said about the movie. The people doing the art direction for the movie were told to think of each community as being in a different age. The Shire was the highest, e.g, Edwardian. Then as you moved east, it went further back in time. When you got over to Gondor, you were in the middle ages. And finally you went to prehistoric times in Mordor. (I can hardly wait to see prehistoric Mordor!)

Do you get any sense of this from the book, or was it just something crazy PJ came up with for the movie scenes? How would this have affected how people lived?
