How did the Numenoreans survive in the Cave of the Forgotten? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

When Ar Pharazon sails to Aman to claim immortality, the Valar laid down their government of Arda, until Illuvatar intervened and made a huge wave to drown Numenor. Illuvatar also made the hills of Calacirya collapse on the Numenoreans. Akallabeth never explicitly state that the Numenoreans died when the hills collapsed on them, only that they were imprisoned. They would be imprisoned until the Battle of Dagor Dagorath, when Morgoth breaks free from confinement and resurrects his armies. I think this implies that the Numenoreans must have some way or another survive under the caves of the Forgotten. How did they do it?
