History by Picture - E

Is it deliberate that Etruscos is labelled on the map? If so that's pretty generous. I wouldn't have had a clue otherwise.

Still at this moment almost half have still missed the question.

I got it without enlarging the map but, yes, that's pretty generous.

I saw the region on the map and tried several possibilities - just not the actual answer...

I didnt even look at the map... civilisation with an e- etruscan immediately comes to mind and I think it has been underrepresented on this site and well everywhere basicly. It is always about inca mayan aztec (and roman egyptian)

It's still the least correctly answered question.

Lol same

Yep I didn't even know till I saw the name on the map so I gave it a chance

First I thought of Euler and then I couldn't think of any other mathematicians.

Isn't it also "Eiffel tower", not just "Eiffel".

I thought of Euripides first, then Euler

"first stop for U.S. immgrants" it should be "immigrants"

I wouldn't have gotten Escobar except for the card he's holding.

That's a big part of the clue. I kept saying to myself "IT'S THE DUDE FROM NARCOS" but the name kept eluding me. I hadn't even heard of Medellin, Colombia until I started watching that show.

Aaargh, I tried the former name with an "n".

To be fair, East Germany is not a country anymore.

It's frustrating to know the right answer, but not being able to spell it. It's even more frustrating to be just one letter off. East Indias, East Indies... arghh...

I kept typing "Dutch indies" "Dutch east indie" Dutch east indies"

and got so frustrated that i didn't have time for any other question

Wow

Great quiz. It really made me think but not impossibly difficult.

I tried sticking dutch into number 6 about 20 different ways before figuring out that it was not needed.

Maybe consider changing the hint for East Germany to former country? It hasn't existed in a couple decades, and for Edo you noted that isn't the current name either.

I hear you, but the Berlin Wall is in the picture, so there really aren't many other options starting with E. "Former" is just going to make it even easier.

If anything, the country was called Dutch East Indies. But a) that was only the former name of Indonesia, and b) it doesn't start with an 'E'. Moreover, there were also the Spanish East Indies, which covered the Philippines and Taiwan (Formosa). So for the entire region, plain 'East Indies' is the only correct answer.

Please say former country for East Germany.

I don't think Escobar deserves a place in history: Over 5,000 murders and a lifetime of cruelty should be flushed down the sewer and forgotten: a man who could nail a horn to a horses head to give his daughter a unicorn should be forgotten:

Havent really watched history have you... it is nearly always about people that murdered other people. (occasionaly about discovering things, but to get there lives were lost, or will be wasted after the discovery)

Can you accept East India for East Indies?
