Re: The Bridge of Khazad-dum
And you seem to be assuming an entire population of an entire Kingdom of Dwarves would use one thin, arched bridge as the only way in and out of their Kingdom. This also defies common sense. Textual evidence or not. I didn't build the 'great paved way', but I did ask that if there was no Dwarves using it, why build it? So the enemies could rush up and see the great skinny bridge defense mechanism? <img src=wink.gif ALT="
"> I don't think so. If the entire eastern side of Moria was nothing but a defense buffer, the road would have best been nothing more than a narrow path for the occasional longbeard that passed along it. Now that'd make sense.
