Middle Earth as a Parallel Universe - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

In light of believing that Middle Earth exists...I've got two explanations to appease my pining imaginations

1) there is no "portal" that leads to the fantasy world that is middle earth unlike other fantasy novels that present the limits and unlimitation of THIS world and that of the fantasy world. (that whole thing may be a whole different thread topic, but thanks to an HP online class, i got my mind somehow easily tuned for this topic)

2) ME is a parallel universe in a literary sense

other than the reasons i have for believing in the exitence of middle earth (which was also used to call Europe, if i am not mistaken...), my reasons purely rest on fantasy.

But for all we know...it may JUST be possible...
