(XXXVII) 1. Blue triangle 2. White on top 3. Red below = Czech Republic

(XXXVIII) 1. White on top 2. Blue middle + shield 3. Red below = Croatia

(XXXX) 1. White on top 2. Lightgreen middle 3. Red below = Bulgaria

(XXXXII) 1. Red on top 2. White middle 3. Lightgreen below = Hungary, let me put it correctly

(XXXXIV) 1. Red on top 2. Thin White Line middle 3. Red below = um, Latvia? My first guess was Austria, but that's simply red-white-red, not a thin line... Tricksy

I'll try to proceed, I just have to leave for a coupla minutes...

Correct on all but one, 38 is not Croatia (which is red,white + shield, blue) it's Slovakia.

Whoopsy.

I only remembered that Croatians also have a shield in the flag.

So, let me try the remaining ones...

(XXXIX) 1. White on top 2. Blue middle 3. Red below = erm, Slovenia? But don't they have a shield as well?

(XXXXI) 1. Blue left 2. Yellow middle 3. Red right = Romania

(XXXXIII) 1. Lightblue on top 2. Black middle 3. White below = Estonia

(XXXXV) 1. Yellow on top 2 Lightgreen middle 3. Red below = Lithuania

And the South American ones...

(XXXI) 1. Red left 2. White in the middle + laurel top, shield middle laurel around 3. Red right = Peru
(I had to look up 'laurel' in the dictionary, though...

)

(XXXII) 1. Yellow on top 2. Blue in the middle + shield 3. Red below = maybe Venezuela? I'm not sure...

Correct on all but 39 (Which is Russia) and 32 (Which is Ecuador). You're very good.

Thanks

I have to admit, for the South Americans I had to use my atlas

(and even with that I couldn't get it right...) But for the European ones, I didn't cheat, I mostly remember them from high-school geography tests. (Now who will believe me THAT?

)

Edity-edit: cross-post... I don't have a clue for the people, though. Huns were easier

Grey_Wolf · 10-21-2005, 04:24 PM

...ancient people:

Came from the North. Off to the West to rock and ruin, off to the East for mercantile business.

...other ancient people:

The furtherst east any of the Great Empires ever got. Back on their western island home they had to fight three other people after the Romans left.

You're correct.

Grey_Wolf · 10-22-2005, 02:00 AM

...ancient people:

"Beasts" of burden in the ancient country with manshaped mountains. A highly-positioned man made the leader both let them leave and not.

...other ancient people:

Famous for their maritime trading culture. Is said to even have gone over the Gread Pond to the other side.

Further hint for no 1: They left the North-east corner of Africa for the country who abounded with sweet stuff and cow-products.

No but they did leave Egypt for the country that flows with milk and honey.

trolls' bane · 10-22-2005, 02:17 AM

Oh, that's right. They speak Swahili in the land of milk and honey, right?

As for the second one, Great Pond must be the Mediterranean, so it must be the Greeks.

Nah, I don't think so. The jews spoke hebrew. The Africans down in the middle of Africa spoke Swahili.

The Canaanites (who lived there before the Jews came) most likely spoke Canaanish.

And sorry again, I meant for no 2: The Phoenecians. They are believed to have travelled over the Atlantic.

trolls' bane · 10-22-2005, 02:41 AM

Oh...

Grey_Wolf · 10-22-2005, 02:45 AM

Second one: Dauchsund?
First: Grumpy Fried Chicken Dog?
