mmmh, there must sthg smwre in Egypt (ok that’s for sure), another one in Latin America (but where ? Mexico ?), and for the third one, well no idea…
I guess they must be all temples or “private cemeteries”…
So, so, what do I get for my right answers ???
j’adore ce genre de quizz mais je suis trop nul
lieux :
1 : peru
2 : birmanie
3 : mexique
tatatatammmm minuit s’approche, et la première partie de réponse fuse.
John, je croyais que c’était ce pour ce soir ?
perso je dis Angkor pour n°2, et le Guatemala pour le 3ème - concernant n°1, c’est un tas de sable qui peut être n’importe où… à mon sens… tout modestement…
ok, ok,
sorry for having taken so long ;
so…
n°1 is Saqqara (Egypt), 2667-2648 BC - burial
n°2 is part of the Angkor Wat complex (Cambodia), 900-1200 AD - temple mountain
n°3 is Temple II, part of Tikal, 702 AD - temple
who influenced whom ?
That’s a very good question. Officially, no-one influenced no-one. Officially, indeed, it is Columbus (XV BC) who discovered America, and Marco Polo (XIII BC) who discovered China (Cambodia is not in China, but not so far from there…) - Alexander the greath went till India, but no further. Officially, therefore no contacts existed between Egypt and Guatemala / Cambodia.
3 totally different cultures in no contact whatsoever with each other, having the same idea ; except that pharaons thought about that 3000 years before the others…
Well, this question is kind’of a hot issue…
