The Argonath, also known as the Gates of Argonath or Pillars of Kings, was a great monument of Gondor.
The monument comprised two enormous statues carved in the likenesses of Isildur and Anárion, standing upon either side of the River Anduin at the northern entrance to Nen Hithoel. It marked the northern border of Gondor, and nearby to the south were previous outposts, Amon Hen and Amon Lhaw.

Each of the two figures bore a crown and a helm, with an axe in its right hand and its left hand raised in a gesture of warning to Gondor`s enemies.[1]
History

The Argonath was originally constructed after the year TA 1248 at the order of Rómendacil II, to commemorate his victory over the Easterlings and to mark the northern border of Gondor.[2]

By the time the Fellowship of the Ring passed the monument on February 25, 3019, on their way to Amon Hen, the realm of Gondor had diminished, leaving the Argonath far outside its effective boundaries.[1]
Other versions

In an earlier version of the `The Great River` chapter, Tolkien used the name Sern Erain before changing it to the name Sarn Aran, meaning King Stones.[3]

An Argonath statue of Elendil in the films

In Peter Jackson`s 2001 movie The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring, the Argonath comprises two large and highly detailed models, which are combined with live action footage and digital backgrounds to convey the proper sense of scale. Unlike in the books, these Argonath statues portray Isildur and his father Elendil (shown holding a sword, not an axe, as portrayed during the film`s prologue). Anárion was removed entirely from the films. Also seen in the film is a quarry near one of the statues` feet, reasoned to have been necessary to provide stone for construction of the statues` uppermost sections.
