"...but the exiles on the shores of the sea, if they turned towards the West in the desire of their hearts, spoke of Mar-nu-Falmar that was whelmed in the waves, Akallabeth the Downfallen, Atalantë in the Eldarin tongue."

I remember the first day I read that line - I just sat there, dumbfounded. Obviously Numenor was Atlantis. How was it that had never occurred to me before? And of course, if Numenor was Atlantis, well... there the repercussions start. I just sat there, letting those thoughts wash over me for quite a while.
