Requested Peehs: World History Requested Peehs: World History

02-18-2017 , 01:15 AM



TehVader and Gadarene have requested World History. I'm not sure what they were expecting but this is what they have gotten!

Comment below a topic for my next peehs game and someone will might have their choice granted.


Peehs: PM me an unnumbered list of answers. Your goal is to submit a correct answer that is chosen by as few others as possible. No research is allowed and incorrects get a small penalty.


Name:
  1. One of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World
  2. One of Henry VIII’s 6 wives OR one of his 3 children who succeeded him as monarchs of England
  3. A city/town with 1000 or more estimated civilian casualties in WWII caused by strategic bombing* (20 correct)
  4. An emperor of the Mongol Yuan dynasty (1271-1368), including the 5 early Mongol rulers promoted posthumously (16 correct)
  5. An artist commissioned and credited with painting a fresco in the Sistine Chapel (12 correct)
  6. An Aztec deity (35 correct) OR one of the three city states that allied to become the Aztec Empire
  7. One of the 12 geologic periods of the past ~540 million year (the Phanerozoic Eon)
  8. An ancient Greek philosopher (There is quite a long list on Wikipedia so if your guy isn’t on that he is incorrect as far as I’m concerned)
  9. A founding member of the European Union, known as the European Coal and Steel Community at the time (6 correct) OR a founding member of the European Free Trade Association (7 correct)
    IMPORTANT: For Q9 you must indicate which organisation your answer is correct for; simply add EU or EFTA after your answer
  10. An individual who won a Nobel prize in any field before the year 1920, i.e. 1901-1919 inclusive (97 correct)
  11. A former Japanese emperor (124 correct)
  12. One of the oldest 41 buildings* in the world (must contain an enclosed area with at least one entry point, more details below) Hint: Before 2500 BC


Remember: NO RESEARCH!

Reveal Friday, Feb 24th (potentially in the morning, so get in by Thursday just in case!)


*Hopefully the snips below clarify what is meant by buildings and strategic bombing:
