I didn't read the thread through, but I noticed Numenor being spoken about, so I'll share my opinion on the subject.
Did anyone else think that Numenor was already on the road to doom before Sauron came there? Ar-Pharazon was ruler, the people were growing hostile to the concept of the elves being the only creatures with immortality, and Sauron was just the final piece of the puzzle that might not have even been truly required.
