This battle, whose name adorns every Legion flag, remains the symbol of a mission carried out to the bitter end.
Yes.
Where is the largest city in the world, based on surface area, not population?
Chongqing maybe?
As far as I know that city is even bigger than Scotland. :shrug:
Wouldn't that just be Bangladesh in general?
No & No
You are close though, it is in Asia..:laugh4:
Is it the metropolitan area of Kyoto-Kobe-Osaka ?
Well you are looking too hard...
:sweatdrop:
Likely you have never heard of the place but it is administered as a city, even though it is larger than 42 of the 50 American States.
Hulunbuir?
Yep!
The largest city in the world - based on surface area, is Hulunbuir, Inner
Mongolia which is 263,953 square km.
Where is the Holy Grail, according to George Lucas?
In Petra.
No. Come on, what famous Lucas franchise has a movie about the Holy Grail? And Nazis?
:furious3: Euros don't watch...uh...
The franchise is Indiana Jones (and the Last Crusade), and the last part of this movie was shoot in Petra, the ancient capital of Nabatea.
Nowaday it must be in Syria or Jordania. Dunno where it is supposed to be in the movie though, though I remember they talk about Turkey quite a lot throughout the movie.
Yes but at the end of the movie didn't they move it to the basement of the Smithsonian next to the arc of the covenant?Quote:

That's totally not it. The Canyon of the Crescent Moon does not exist, and the scene was filmed in Petra, Jordania.
This is a geography quizz and not a movie quizz, so victory is mine. You Star Wars and other Georgelucazish nerds have it completely wrong. I shall be rewarded for my intimate knowledge of the ancient world, though I let Louis asks the next question, so he at least can have a taste of what victory's like.
If you do not agree to my command, I shall bring the case to the highest authorities. Gunbortionists such as Luious IV teh fit won't be allowed to take over the Org.
New Question!
Where is this?

The Internet is a powerful tool.
What is the name of the store next to the Gamestop on 71st Avenue/Continental Avenue in Forest Hills?
(Hint: Google will be helpful here...)
Value Depot
Hellz yeah, someone took the time to look for it.
:shrug: I was bored, it was annoying though, because I started at the wrong end of the street.
Anywho, fairly straightforward question from me: What is the largest lake and lowest point in Australia?
Just a quick question: Have any of you guys ever made it far into the National Geography Bee. I won the school competition and narrowly made it to 10th place in the State Competition. Made a stupid mistake on a question I knew but I got nervous and blanked out.
