What do you suppose the stairs that Gollum leads the hobbits to Shelob where used for and who made them? I could never find out why. :bounce:

*stabs Ea* :-)

I never really thought about that, to tell the truth. I always just thought of them as 'the stairs Sam went up to save Frodo.' Maybe to lead to a treasure room or something, or maybe from there there was a ladder to the roof.

:lol: I never actually gave any thought to the stairs. I thought they were...just there. But the orc with a chisel sounds good. =)

Hey, works for me! What else are they gonna do in mordor for three thousand years while waiting for the Ring to turn up again?

To be honest I like the chisel idea but I've always thought they were a short cut into mordor for some reason.

Maybe the numenoriens made it. They made Cirith Ungol and the Black Gate, so maybe. O_0

I don't know about that. Those steps sound to crude to have been made by them.--I thought Cirith Ungol WAS the steps?

Well, I suppose an earlier human tribe before the Numenoreans may have? Just supposition, I suppose.

Well, over time (like, 3,000 years) the steps would get worn out, I think?
