Those people must have had some dwarf in them.

Wonder if their dining room was royal, though to be honest I doubt it.

here's an old salt mine turned turist attraction. Check out the *rock salt statues* and engraved walls. They apparently didn't care about the elves, seeing the amount of wooden walls and stuff.

Damn! 500 kilogram doors.

Thats nothing, I remember that we had a huge stone door in the basement of my school. It was probably much bigger. [It's height was like 2 meters, and the width of it was like 1 meter.] Don't ask me that why was it there, I am clueless also, but yes it was a door.

I went there a few years ago, but that was before my DF days. The engravings there defined the way I imagine engravings in DF.

Presses for wine and olive oil, wine, food shops, a school, numerous rooms and even a bar.
Yep, definitely dwarves.

Who wants to bet the lower levels are closed off because of Hidden Fun Stuff?

The stone in Cappadocia is uniquely easy to tunnel, if I recall correctly.  A friend of mine visited several months ago and said it was a hell of a landscape.
