Re: Palantiri History Problems

1. I think we must accept that Fëanor created the Palantiri, since it's surgested in LOTR and directly said so in SILM and UT.

2. I can accept that the Palantiri stayed in Valinor after the rebellion of the Noldor.
But it is stated (In SILM) that at the time of Ar-Gimilzors rule (according to UT SA 3102-3177) The ships from Tol Eressa ceased and NEVER came again to Numenor. Lets Assume this happend in say 3170 - This is 149 years before Amandil died - we do not know how old he was. Although he was proberly born before 3170 I very much doubt that he was The leader of the Faithfull Numenoreans at that time, proberly his father or maybe even grandfather would hold the title of Lord of Andúnië. Then why would the Eldar of Eressa give him the Palantiri?

Can you explain this Mithadan???
