1420!

You all know Tolkien wanted to reveal to us the location of both the Ark of the Covenant and the Holy Grail, so he wrote an epic tale just to encode his knowledge to the initiate.

No, no, no. Tolkien had a Nostradamus experience, and was able to impart to the reader that Peter Jackson would one day sully his great work.
See, the Witch-king is also the Lord of the NaZgûl: NZ-- Jackson is from New Zealand! The Nazgûl were servants of the One Ring, and Jackson serves the Film Industry, the Sauron of our time. It's all so clear!

Inzil, I think we've stumbled upon something important here:

I think it's finally been cracked, Andsigil. For further evidence, it's clear that New Line Cinema can be read into Necromancer's Love Child.
