Excavating the Mines of Moria - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

The Mines of Moria were vast, maybe as much as 40 miles across, with huge habitable areas on many levels towards the eastern side where the main gates were, and the "working" and mining areas towards the west side.

The Dwarves' excavation of Khazad-Dum must have been an incredible undertaking over the ages, but one question - where did they put all the rock and rubble they dug out of the ground ?
