Did Tolkien mean to make this relation? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

The way the relationship between Middle earth and real earth was described by some one was that middle earth is basically like a piece of history pullen out of the real earth. Almost like a period of lost years that was missing. So it has been pulled out somewhere along the line and has been written over in the line of history and forgotten about. So it is actually like another world, or one that never was, therefore keepings its specialness.
