Can any of the mediaevil experts out there give me an estimation of how much rock a person could cut in a single day/weel/year in the pre-industrial era to give some estimate of the number of dwarves and time that would hve been required to build Moria, and also of the number of people the supply chains would require to provide food etc for those cutting the rock. I would guess the effort must have been astronomical, and that no pre-industrial parallel exists in our world.
