Abstract

In Middle-Earth’s history, there were two great Dunadanic Empires, separated by 3,000 years. Their phases follow: from S.A. 600 - 1700, the Numenoreans established. Presence in Middle Earth. From S.A. 1700 – 3320, there was a greater development of Numenorean societies on Middle-Earth, without juridical basis. From S.A. 3320 – T.A. 2, the First Empire arose. From T.A. 2 – 1974, the Empire split to two separate kingdoms – and from T.A. 1974 – 3019, Gondor was the only remaining kingdom of the Numenoreans. After 3019 and into the fourth age, the Second Dunadanic empire reigned.
