New Cumulative General History Quiz III

[Steph]

Is the last clue TRUNG?

 

[Steph]

Got it

We have an Uruk-hai, we have Uruk (wild guess) --> Hai

We have a BAR , - R --> BA

With T.R., we have UN, and we have G --> Trung

So that's HAI BA TRUNG, vietnamese semi legendary warrior sisters who led an uprising against China

Oh.......

I only 'solved' the third clue. I was thinking Theodore Roosevelt was related to FDR who founded the UN, which is near Radio City Music Hall, which had origins in the people I mentioned.

I don't know what an Uruk-hai is.

Saruman can tell you.

Adler

He can't, he's dead

 

[mitsho]

he never lived? (or what historical figure did Tolkien use for Saruman?)

Bingo! The answer is indeed Hai Ba Trung, the Trung Sisters of ancient Vietnam.

The floor is yours Steph.
