Older than he... [In reply to]	Can't Post

"There I saw things gnawing at the Earth. Sauron knows not of them for they are older than he..." - Gandalf the White re: fighting the Balrog

I think M-E is full of old stuff left over from the days of creation actually. Bombadil is probably a spirit of the original forests and the Ents some trees or whatever infested with spirits from beyond... maybe, we really dont' know but there are things older than Elves, to be sure!
