"The Gate of Gothic" by Sedeptra
Rivendell is a direct translation or calque into English of the Sindarin name Imladris, both meaning "deep valley of the cleft". The name Rivendell is formed by two English elements: "riven" (split, cloven) and "dell" (valley), making the whole word purport "deeply cloven valley". Imladris was also rendered "Karningul" in Westron, the "Common Tongue" of Middle-Earth represented as English in the text of The Lord of the Rings. It is also referred to as The Last Homely House West of the Mountains, alluding to the wilderland that lies beyond the Misty Mountains.

QuoteThere are two places, paramount from the historical point of view, bearing the same name - Yaz?l?kaya - in the area of Turkey. Not surprisingly, as in Turkish this word means 'inscribed rock' and thus perfectly reflects the character of all the monuments that were created by carving inscriptions in the rock walls. The monument, which is described here, also has two other names - Midas Kenti (Midas City) and Midas An?t? (Midas Monument), that distinguish it from the Hittite sanctuary of Yaz?l?kaya, located in the vicinity of Hattusa, in central Anatolia.
Phrygian Yaz?l?kaya is located in the area of the Phrygian Valley, in Eski?ehir Province, on a plateau that also bears the name Yaz?l?kaya, at an altitude of over 1,300 meters above sea level. The site dominates the plain, rising about 70 meters above the surrounding terrain. It covers an area ??650 meters long, and 320 meters wide.
The earliest traces of human settlement discovered near Yazilikaya originate from the early Bronze Age. However, there is no evidence of the continuity of the settlement, and the most important monuments of Yaz?l?kaya are dated to the period from the 8th to the 6th century BC. At that time Yazilikaya was the second most important place of the development of Phrygian civilization, besides their capital city - Gordion. It was guarded by four fortresses standing on the nearby hills - Akpara, Pi?mi?, Gökgöz, and Kocaba?. Their ruins are still visible.
It remains unknown when the Phrygians left the area of Yazilikaya. Structures and inscriptions found nearby indicate to an occupation of these areas in the later periods of history - in Hellenistic, Roman and Byzantine times.

QuoteDoorway - Cappadocia, Turkey I love how this door is key-shaped. It is bright and sunny outside, yet dark and mysterious inside. A welcome cool place out of the sun? Or a secret lair for mythical creatures? You've got my imagination stirred up now
