A sick person like me would build a door that lead to nowhere but a bunch of dead people! [img]smilies/evil.gif[/img]
The door probably led to the way out of the Paths of the Dead. Baldor probably got in, but realized that he couldn't get out, and as a result, went completely nutters, and started clawing at the door. We all know the rest of the story.
As for the Numenorean treasure trove theory, why would Isildur leave treasure with people who betrayed him, and were cursed by him? Only a lunatic would do that. Then again, Isildur had quite a few lunatic tendencies.
