Quiz - Jona Lendering - 07-30-2012 Look at the photo below. It is ancient, it is world famous, but this is not how you usually see it. What is it? [attachment=4741]1.jpg[/attachment] The first to give the correct answer, is invited to upload the next question. Re: Quiz - Epictetus - 07-30-2012 What a good idea for a thread! Is it the back of Hannibal's tomb? Re: Quiz - caiusbeerquitius - 07-30-2012 Agrigent? Re: Quiz - Longovicium - 07-30-2012 Is it Pergamon? Re: Quiz - Redguru - 07-30-2012 Golgotha? Re: Quiz - Redguru - 07-30-2012 Tarpeian Rock Re: Quiz - D B Campbell - 07-30-2012 Quote:The first to give the correct answer, is invited to upload the next question.Hmmm, looks Turkish and sacred. I would have said the Altar of Zeus at Pergamon, ... except I might have to set the next question! :wink: Re: Quiz - jvrjenivs - 07-31-2012 Quote:... except I might have to set the next question! :wink: You certainly have some pictures fit for it, I imagine. A close up of the left side of the rampart of Masada would be a good one :p Nevertheless I like Jona's idea, although I really don't know where this picture was taken. Re: Quiz - Jona Lendering - 07-31-2012 Two correct answers. Francis Hagan was right, because this is indeed in Pergamon. Duncan Campbell, however, was more specific. It is indeed the foundation of the Altar of Zeus - the "throne of Satan" from the Book of Revelation. This is the more familiar sight. So now it's Duncan's turn. Re: Quiz - Gaius Julius Caesar - 07-31-2012 WOW hock: Never seen that before. Is that the museum in Pergamon? Re: Quiz - jvrjenivs - 07-31-2012 Quote:WOW hock: No, Pergamon museum, Berlin. Re: Quiz - Longovicium - 07-31-2012 Damn, I was close but not close enough! Over to Duncan then! Re: Quiz - D B Campbell - 07-31-2012 Quote:Over to Duncan then!I suppose the idea is to show a picture that people might have a chance of recognizing! I toyed with posting an aerial view of an Antonine fort, but -- since it would just be a green field -- that wouldn't be very fair. What about this one? Although it's a world famous site, you might only have seen this bit as a diagram in a well-known book. [attachment=4742]2.jpg[/attachment] Any ideas? Re: Quiz - Gaius Julius Caesar - 07-31-2012 Byzantine fortification? Re: Quiz - Manius Acilius Italicus - 07-31-2012 Is it part of Hadrian's Wall, possibly Housesteads Fort? |
