"The Numenoreans of Gondor were proud, peculiar, and archaic, and I think are
best pictured in (say) Egyptian terms. In many ways they resembled
'Egyptians' - the love of, and power to construct, the gigantic and
massive. And in their great interest in ancestry and in tombs. (But
not of course in 'theology': in which respect they were Hebraic and even more
puritan...)."
(From Letter
211)
