Beleriand

Anybody else wish that Beleriand didnt sink into the ocean? I mean, think of all the history that was lost; the Mound of Glorfindel, the cities of Nargothrond, Menegroth, Gondolin, and Vinyamar, the battle site of the Unnumbered Tears, and the associated mound, all that good history lost because of the sinking of the place. Its really too bad, and I was wondering, why do you think it happened? Do you think it was part of the myth before the Lord of the Rings came in, or did it come about when he (ol' Jonny) had to re-order things to correspond with The Hobbit? Or, does it explain it all in some book that I apparently havent read yet, thus making this thread obsolete? Any thoughts?

Also, if this thread already exists, sorry, I didnt mean to.

EDIT: Oh, and once again, I messed up, this should probably be in the Middle-earth forum...son-of-a-!
