Or maybe they did have literally all these things like clocks and stirrups (with a few translational equivalents thrown in). After all, wasn't Atlantis supposed to be full of amazing devices and whatnot that were subsequently lost into the sea? I'm sure a few things could have spread to the Shire in the Third Age. And then of course eventually cities fall into ruin, knowledge is forgotten, Dark Ages Inc., and the next person to think of it gives himself a pat on the back for being original.
