Minecraft Middle Earth is a Minecraft community that recreates the world described by JRR Tolkien and his writings. Everyone can participate in organized events in which we collaborate to create major landmarks, terrain, caves, castles, towns, farms and more.

Ruins don't go away as fast as you think. On non-middle Earth we have Egyptian ruins, Greek, Roman, etc. much older than that. We have FOOTPRINTS that are hundreds of millions of years old.
-snip-
Most likely.....it is quite a large area and some significant structures exist there (e.g. Erebor, Doo Guldur)
SO ...
Egyptian ruins were in the perfect place to be very well conserved. Indeed, they were near the Nil river and they slowly got cover by the regular spate of the river, which brings sediments and others sand particles. In the other case, buildings were in the desert so they simply get covered by sand, thanks to the wind. Moreover, the Prehistory only began like 3000 years before our era : so we're far from the 6000 years Himring stayed desert !
Roman and Greek ruins are, for the oldest one, only around the V or VIth century before our era.
Footprints are a special case : the ground need to be wet/loose, like in a marsh or near a river. To be conserved, they need to be quickly covered by sediments before they disappear. It's impossible to compare Footprints and man made buildings.
And finally, Himring had very bad preservation conditions :
-an earthquake because of the Fall of Thangorodrim, and it should be stronger than any earthquake that we ever had on earth
-and surely a megatsunami due to the earthquake
@Uzbeksock piece of advice please try consolidating any posts into 1 post if possible. saves cluttering the threads
That's a possibility, and has been discussed many times before. The thing is, that time is so far in the future that nobody has any idea what they'll want to build then.Since we're kinda talking about Beleriand here, why not make a Beleriand server in the not-so-near future? Sure, there is small information compared to Middle Earth, but there is a comparatively large amount. It would be creative, open to interpretation. Certainly more viable than Aman.
The Silmarillion has bit of info on Beleriand and, as @arcusthehero said, there are books. You can also try using the Tolkien Gateway for some info
