Where in the World #259 - A Meeting of Minds

Greenrider Tresa · Apr 27 2010, 03:03 PM

Kath · Apr 27 2010, 03:47 PM

Ooh, pretty.

Let's start with: Italy?

Lily · Apr 27 2010, 05:14 PM

Very pretty!

Egypt?

P'ter · Apr 27 2010, 05:23 PM

Persia?

Greenrider Tresa · Apr 27 2010, 06:19 PM

No to all.

Brenda · Apr 27 2010, 07:19 PM

Eurasia?

Greenrider Tresa · Apr 27 2010, 07:29 PM

Brenda: Yes.

jube · Apr 28 2010, 02:16 AM

Kazakhstan?

P'ter · Apr 28 2010, 03:44 AM

It's a Hollywood matte painting for a remake of The Argonauts!

Anatolia?

Lara · Apr 28 2010, 02:34 PM

Ephesus?

Greenrider Tresa · Apr 28 2010, 03:11 PM

Again, no. And very funny, P'ter. Interesting both you and Lara went for Turkey. Wonder if perhaps it's a definition issue. I understood Eurasia to mean both Europe and Asia as a whole, but it seems like to you it means countries that straddle the two continents. Sorry!

Brenda · Apr 28 2010, 11:23 PM

I meant the landmass that encompasses Europe and Asia. So you answered my question correctly! I just wanted to rule out Africa etc.

Greenrider Tresa · Apr 29 2010, 01:47 AM

Thanks, Brenda. I was just surprised that both Lara and P'ter immediately thought of Turkey. Though after another look at a map... ::clams up and chuckles::

jube · Apr 29 2010, 04:11 AM

Country bordering the Black Sea?

P'ter · Apr 29 2010, 04:18 AM

On a seacoast?

spacedog · Apr 29 2010, 08:29 AM

Roman ruins?

Brenda · Apr 29 2010, 09:00 AM

Set from Star Trek: TOS?

Set from Hercules: The Legendary Journeys?

Greenrider Tresa · Apr 29 2010, 04:28 PM

Jube: No
P'ter and Spacedog: Yes
Brenda: Not as far as I can tell. THough it does get mentioned in poetry.

Lara · Apr 29 2010, 06:07 PM

Sicily?

Greenrider Tresa · Apr 29 2010, 10:21 PM

No, Lara, sorry.

P'ter · Apr 30 2010, 04:20 AM

Lebanon?

jube · Apr 30 2010, 04:35 AM

Syria?

I like the photo. Everytime I see it, it gets better

Greenrider Tresa · Apr 30 2010, 02:42 PM

P'ter: yes, so that means no to jube. Though I like the picture too, which is why I finally settled on it.

Lara · Apr 30 2010, 04:54 PM

Baalbek?

Greenrider Tresa · Apr 30 2010, 05:18 PM

Lara: No

mawra · Apr 30 2010, 11:36 PM

Don't have any idea, but wanted to say I love the pics.

jube · May 1 2010, 12:20 AM

PM sent.

Greenrider Tresa · May 1 2010, 12:22 AM

Not showing any undread PMs, jube...

jube · May 1 2010, 12:27 AM

Probably because I had another tab open and was in the process of sending it. Hopefully you'll have it now. Thanks.

P'ter · May 1 2010, 02:07 AM

PM sent and reply received

Greenrider Tresa · May 1 2010, 04:22 PM

No prob, Jube.

Two correct PMs.

Same thing here

P'ter · May 2 2010, 02:30 AM

Apparently it could be the remains of a Roman bathhouse.

Greenrider Tresa · May 7 2010, 05:22 PM

All right then, it's Roman ruins, Tyre, Lebanon.

Which used to be an island a long time ago until Alexander the Great connected it to Lebanon.
