Sauron's Appearance
Here's something that I noticed while re-reading "Of the Rings of Power and the Third Age":

Yes. The Fall of Númenor took place after Annatar. The forging of the Rings of Power was begun in II 1500, and Andor fell in II 3319.

Your first citation is from the time while he was working with the elves to create the rings of power.
the second is after the fall of numenor, which was some years later.

Oh, I see. Thanks for the clarification. I thought that the way it was presented in the Silmarillion was in chronological order. Since the Akallabêth came before 'Of the Rings of Power and the Third Age', I assumed that it happened before. Silly me.

It understandable. Your master, Sauron, does not ecourage his servants at Minas Morgul to read the history of his failures.
