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.  _________________ <center>~*The Not-Too-Much-Obsessed-With-Nature A-U Gentle-Woman*~<center>

*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. _________________ <center>

Maybe Shelob had a chisel and was bored. _________________

 I never actually gave any thought to the stairs. I thought they were...just there. But the orc with a chisel sounds good. =) _________________ <p><center><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v292/RingetteStar/larajadesig.png">

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? _________________ <img src="http://i76.photobucket.com/albums/j7/imladriseeker/Lady_of_Ithilien.jpg">

Well, over time (like, 3,000 years) the steps would get worn out, I think? _________________ <center>~*The Not-Too-Much-Obsessed-With-Nature A-U Gentle-Woman*~<center>
