On the summit of Meneltarma;
No building, no raised altar, not even a pile of undressed stones, ever stood there, and no likeness of a temple did the Númenorians possess in all the days of their grace, until the coming of Sauron. there no tool or weapon had ever been borne; and there none might speak any word, save the King only.



What need is there for temples or idols when the evidence of your creator is all around and very land you live on was pushed out of the sea specifically for your use ?


Of course, as time goes on, the memories of what was done for you begin to fade, and the people, feeling that they lack somethng that others have, begin listening to false prophets with false promises.--
