Okay, trying the history format here
The place I'm looking for is a
-City
-with an very ancient history, tracking way before the birth of Christ
-Located at approximately the centre of the country
-Has been the capital city of the country from various time to time, though not anymore
-Has been renamed from time to time
-One of its sister cities has only fewer than 26,000 populations, but is very famous for other reasons
Xi'An?
Correct! :2thumbsup:
all yours mate
In 1943, the final Axis positions in North Africa were eliminated. In a reference to a major battle that was won by the Soviets earlier in the year, the British began referring to the final stages of the North African campaign as this.
Edit: To keep this a geography question, name the two cities, the last North African one, and the one the British referenced.
Bizerte and Stalingrad?
I was hoping some would say "Tunisgrad", but whatever. Your turn.
In 1845, the richest 1% of the population of this city held 50% of the wealth.
Hints: It wanted to secede from the United States several times in its history.
Charleston, south carolina?
Another hint: This city was a major port and industrial center in the 1800s and was sympathetic to the South when the Civil War began.
Baltimore?Quote:

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.
Made it in a Canadian version. But how is this relevant?
Answer: Lake Eyre -15 Meters
Yep. Your turn.
Why is Red Rock, Montana of geographical significance?:book:
Hay! This was not a hard question.
It is a source!
Does nothing spring to mind?
Sorry, there may be some controversy about this.
It is listed because it is farther from Three Forks than Brower's Spring is.
Red Rock Creek ends at the lakes of the same name...
Bump!
If this is too hard or confusing, let someone else ask a question.
It is too good of a thread to lay idle for so long.
Alright... I'm just going to wing it.
Was the Minneconjou Ford located on the river?
:jumping:Gosh, I know that!
But after my last question I will just keep my mouth shut.:lipsrsealed2:
