: : : Why has there been no significant progress since the first age of middle-earth ? 6000+ years have gone by, and nothing at least pre-industrial has been developed (I mean they knew gunpowder in old china). Itīs like there has been no progress on earth since the days of ancient egypt or so !??: : Here's my theory: when the Lord of Evil is trying to destroy you, you don't have time to develop technology, only to defend yourself. : Nice theory, but probably not correct. Wars, as a general rule, hasten development of new technology. Hence the development and use of jet aircraft and V-2 Rockets by the Germans toward the end of World War II. But these were BIG wars!And, um...I guess you're right.
