In Gimli's song in the Fellowship of the Ring,one verse stands out in my head when it comes to questions about Moria:
"With golden roof and silver floor..."
If the roof was made from or covered in gold, and the floor in silver, why are the images from the book, and the movie of cold stone everywhere? Surely orcs and other foul creatures could not have looted all of it, especially if the precious metals were part of the structure of Durin's Halls. Thoughts and comments would be greatly appreciated. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]
