Middle Earth, Middle-Earth, and middle-earth do not work as the answer.
The answer must be SPECIFIC... there are directions to it. Middle Earth is the entirety of the place...
Here are the directions:
A) Start going East on East West Road.
Cross Brandywine Bridge. Continue on East West Road towards Bree. Continue on East West Road towards Last Bridge. Continue on East West Road to Rivendell.
B) At Rivendell head South to Moria.
From Moria head East to Lorien. Follow Andouin River South to Falls of Rauros. Head East through Dead Marshes. Head South to Minas Morgul. Head East.
Arrive AT _______________________.
As you can see it's a specific place. I've tried various things but none work... I haven't read the book though. I've only seen the films. Once hubby wakes up I can ask him, since he's read every Tolkien book - but maybe this detailed example will help others??
Okay, take care, all.
Edited to add: OK, hubby woke up and looked in his LOTR book... He gave the answer first as Mordor, which I'd already tried. I tried again and Incorrect. So - he went 'Oh!' and gave the answer...
Mount Doom is the answer :-) Thank Hubby for me!! LOL!

Erm... the whole book is fictional dear. To which landmark in specific are you referring? Middle-earth is the name of the world or continent or whatever.

If you mean how did Tolkien contribute to the genre of fictional writing, he is generally accredited with popularizing so called 'fantasy" writing and creating many types of characters and characterizations that occur in modern fantasy writing and games.

Tolkien did NOT base the LOTR on WWII and the Nazis! He hated analogies. There's more of the trenches and No Man's Land of WWI in the landscapes of Mordor and the Dead Marshes.

Which one?
Tolkien basically took the war against the Nazi-s that he was participating in in Africa, and shaped a fantasy world based on it and on his philological studies, so most of Middle Earth are fictionalizations of Europe - - - but they are all fictional.
Read your edited answer, so now I must ask:
According to whom?

it's all fiction, Tolkein didn't like the fact that the english had a lack of folklore and spent 50 years inventing it for us! thanks JRR good job.
