No, but my thought that this represents and industrial center and it would be great to trace the iron to artifacts around the world.

I also thought that the medieval site could be built on an earlier development. I wonder how many years of production creates such a city. The city may have evolved slowly or was established all at once with the proximity to Juniper trees to iron ore.

Finally I wonder at human powered rates of deforestation how long the juniper trees could last or maybe they were cultivated.

They could stretch back to middle-earth.

Is this an odd translation of 中国 or am I missing something?

Edit: took me way too long to realize this was referencing lord of the rings.
