- The riders are ambiguous, for the record.

- There are three millennia between the Last Alliance and the War of the Ring. They are last mentioned at the end of the first millennia. Seeing how Umbar was taken and retaken, *explicitly by the Haradrim*, no Black Numenoreans, assuming there had been any still there, would not have survived.

-There's examples of such things, but nothing on the timeframe that we're talking about. We're talking an equivalent time ago as the beginning of the Iron Age. According to Wikipedia, rice had just been cultivated in Japan, and David, King of Israel, was in power.
