Re: The Bridge of Khazad-dum

Wagons are not the issue here, a bottleneck bridge as an only entrance is. And Khazad-dum was a fortress-city... an entire Kingdom.... with the needs of a Kingdom. Stockpiles would be used for emergency purposes. But we're talking regular day-to-day requirements.

The words textual evidence come up often in these type of arguements to refute sometimes the most obvious of things. Just because we never saw an old wagon (or cart) wheel laying around in Moria doesn't mean they didn't have or use them. We never saw a bed in there but I doubt if they all slept on the floor. Beds (and carts/wagons) are practical things unneccesary for JRRT to write about.

The bridge was noted as a defense mechanism.
