Christopher Tolkien, in Volume 5 of "The History of Middle-earth" (The Lost Road and Other Writings) showed that while JRRT's time travel story "The Lost Road" was never finished, the ideas he came up with for the story became the basis of the legend of Numenoreans.

Cool! :) I just got that for Christmas but haven't read it yet--will keep an eye out for that part.

We got Volume IV: The Shaping of Middle Earth for Christmas. Haven't read it yet either. I am still trying to remember what page I am on in the Silmarillion. Doh!

LOL! I got Volume IV for Christmas, too--I got this 5-volume boxed set of the first five volumes of the History (I think there's another five after that, right?). In Silmarillion, I've read it through a few times, but every time I start I have a tendency to reread the first two chapters several times and then wait a while before going on, so I end up taking forever--don't know why, LOL!
