−	~~Originally constructed about [[Third Age 1340]] at the order of [[Rómendacil II]] to mark the northern border of [[Gondor]], the~~ Argonath consisted of two enormous pillars, carved in the likenesses of [[Isildur]] and [[Anárion]]. ~~Each~~ of the two figures ~~was shown with~~ an axe in its right hand and its left hand ~~raised~~ in a gesture of defiance to the enemies of [[Gondor]]~~, standing~~ upon either side of the River [[Anduin]] at the northern approach to [[Nen Hithoel]],	+	The Argonath consisted of two enormous pillars, carved in the likenesses of [[Isildur]] and [[Anárion]] facing to the north. Placed upon huge pedestals, each of the two figures held an axe in its right hand and its left hand rose in a gesture of defiance to the enemies of [[Gondor]]. The two statues stood upon either side of the River [[Anduin]] at the northern approach to [[Nen Hithoel]].<ref name="River"/>

−	~~The realm had greatly diminished in size since then. The [[Fellowship of the Ring]] passed the Argonath on [[25 February]], {{TA\|3019}}~~.	+

		+	==History==
		+	From its earliest days the kingdom of Gondor set part of its northern boundary at the north end of Nen Hithoel. When Isildur and Anárion jointly governed as the first rulers of the realm they built many marvelous works, one of which was at the Argonath.<ref>{{S\|Rings}}</ref> What this early work at the Argonath was is unknown; it seems to have disappeared by the reign of King [[Narmacil I]].
		+
		+	Centuries later, the son and regent of Narmacil I, [[Minalcar]], led a great force that defeated the [[Easterlings]] between [[Rhovanion (region)\|Rhovanion]] and the [[Sea of Rhûn]] in {{TA\|1248}}. When he returned he fortified the banks of the Anduin and built the pillars of the Argonath.<ref>{{App\|Gondor}}</ref>
		+
		+	As the [[Third Age]] wore on the power and size of Gondor diminished, leaving the Argonath in deserted lands. On [[25 February]], {{TA\|3019}}<ref>{{App\|Great}}</ref> the [[Fellowship of the Ring]] cruised between the pillars on their journey south. Time had blurred their eyes and crannied their brows but the two figures still exuded power and majesty.<ref name="River"/>
