Geography Quiz: Answers

To repeat:  One of these refers to a person; three to places.  Which refers to a person and by what name is he better known?  Extra credit if you can locate the other three.

  1. The Banat of Temesvar
  2. The Rann of Kutsch
  3. The Epop of Emor
  4. The Ziggurat of Ur.

A  Middle Eastern political leader claimed he was defrauded last year in a real estate deal with "a friend."  Which of these is the leader and which the land that is the subject of the dispute?




  1. Wadi Abu Seif--(Land)
  2. Wadi Jumblatt--(Leader)
Comment: "Epop of Emor" is "the Pope of Rome" spelled backwards.  It was a recognizable catch phrase in my college years; oddly, Google reported bo sightings (until now).
