When The Lord Of The Rings Takes Place In Middle-earth's Timeline

[هَـ-ђāŵĩ-ـَاوِيتم التحقق من هَـ-ђāŵĩ-ـَاوِي كعضو.]

Tolkien's Middle-earth timeline extends far beyond The Lord of the Rings, with Frodo's story only taking up a small portion of a much larger picture. Some of the earliest of Tolkien's stories occurred during the First Age when the Elves first woke up in Middle-earth several thousand years before Frodo inherited the One Ring. Still, even this isn't as far back as this fictional history goes, as several events took place before the First Age. The way Tolkien measured all of this was highly complicated, and given the sheer number of years Tolkien's work spans, it can quickly become confusing.
