gutted, I didn't pay attention to the P hint, and so read it as middle east (ok, not so bright this evening) and so was trying to put Persia. Having re-read the hint... oh well, a great quiz, well done.

Good quiz, great series. But I WANT MY POINTS. (They can be traded in for air miles, right?) Although to be honest I'd have to split them with my kid, who contributed Umrah and Nineveh. I'd been trying NinevAh and was convinced that if it was close enough, it'd work. (Maybe less persnickety spelling on that one? Although it doesn't matter because AHEM JetPunk, give it points!)

Added Ninevah as a type-in. If Quizmaster decides to feature this one (though I'd start with #2) then he'd probably Regex up some more type-ins for you.

note to QM: if you decide to feature any of these #2-#5 please tell me before you change or swap any of the clues, at least so I can make a note of which ones you swapped or took away. I could put them on a sequel. I made sure not to double up any answers in the first five.

Isn't it supposed to say "scarce resource" instead of "scare resource" for W? Also, the answer needs to be capitalized

Yes, scarce resource. But why would I capitalize "water?" Every other answer is a proper noun.

Euphrates is misspelt. Good quiz thanks.
