I think this excerpt from one of Tolkien's letters might be relevant. Concerning the Numenorians/Gondorians "I believe they were akin to the Ancient Egyptians, in their love of, and ability to create collosal architecture, but in their religious beliefs they were Hebraic (though even more puritan)".
