MAP OF NÚMENOR LOTR Pint Glass

Numenor, a significant island kingdom in J.R.R. Tolkien's legendarium, was inspired by the mythical Atlantis. In Tolkien's stories, Numenor is a large, star-shaped island gifted to the Edain, the ancestors of the Númenóreans, by the gods in recognition of their help during the war against Morgoth. Like Atlantis, Numenor was a highly advanced civilization both in terms of culture and technology, but it eventually fell into arrogance and defiance of the gods. This led to its tragic downfall and submersion beneath the sea, mirroring the story of Atlantis and adding a layer of mythic resonance to Tolkien's creation.
