What sort of technology are you talking about, lindil? Stuff resembling silima and other misc. metals/crafts?

I always wondered how the Dwarves excavated Moria. Using a pick and shovel with a workforce of 30,000 dwarves (Khazad-dum topic ref) that would take ages, judging by the size of the halls and the depth of the tunnels described.

The Numeroneans...(spelling) how did they do Minas Anor? Minas Ithil? How did they excavate Isengard? More questions. 50,000 strong Numeroneans, boring into a mountain?
