So you were born in the year 5987 of the Fourth age.

Thanks, MastrLOTRELF.
Now you know what year this is. It's 6016 of the Fourth Age. Just add 4005 to whatever year it is to find out. So, what year were you born?

I was wondering if anyone might be interested in a bit of research I did. Being very curious to find a precise date for the events in the books I had conducted a lengthy internet search only to come up with one result; 3102 BC for the start of the Fourth Age. This did not square with a Tolkien quote...
