Ar-Pharazorn: Jo, to je rozhodně pravda. Doplnil bych k tomu jenom citát z jednoho Tolkienova dopisu, který s tím souvisí a nabízí docela výstižné přirovnání:
The Númenóreans of Gondor were proud, peculiar, and archaic, and I think are best pictured in (say) Egyptian terms. In many ways they resembled 'Egyptians' – the love of, and power to construct, the gigantic and massive. And in their great interest in ancestry and in tombs.
