Is there a real Middle-earth?

J.R.R. Tolkien claimed that he based the land of Middle Earth on a real place. ... At its center was Middle Earth, a place peopled by humans, but imbued with spiritual power.

Name. The term "Middle-earth" was not invented by Tolkien. Rather, it comes from Middle English middel-erde, itself a folk-etymology for the Old English word middangeard (geard not meaning Earth, but rather enclosure or place, thus yard, with the Old Norse word miðgarðr being a cognate).
