New History Quiz

[willemvanoranje]

you're both correct. In my opinion it's the Persian culture; although they were influenced a lot by Mesopotamian cultures, and only a few (big) things were different, one might make the argument that they can be seen as Mesopotamians in a way themselves, so Macedonians was the answer I'd have approved to as well. God is the winner, but since he doesn't seem to like asking questions, next is for mordhiem

I have made a new rule: if the one who should ask a question dosnt do it, someone else shall do it. So mordheim your time is up becorse here is the question.

Ok, let us have a picture this time.

[Hurricane]

By the way, I'll be away over the weekend, so if you know you have the right answer, feel free to continue the quiz.

 

[willemvanoranje]

ok, it's a gate, but I can't tell if it's a modern building or a tower of a castle. If it's modern it could be a water tower as well :S. But let's assume it's medieval, my first thought was Russia, but I say it's in France.

 

[Hurricane]

No, it's not a gate (the white thing at the bottom is just a cardbord poster), and it's built during the 20th century. It is located in Europe. And no, it's not a water tower.

It is not in Germany, but in another german-speaking country.

[Michiel de Ruyter]

I think it's a flak tower.

In Austria maybe?

 

[nixon]

It is flak towers to defend Vienna from Allied air attacks during World War II. They are of concrete, and made by the Third Reich. One believes that Hitler had great plans for them, when the war was over.

So I was right (if you are, that is).
Do you care to tell what his plans were?
Public execution stages perhaps, they are high and flat on top.

 

[nixon]

I believe he had plans to turn them into war memorials, honoring the young boys who stood on top of the towers, operating the special manufactured anti-aircraft guns to defend Vienna's historic landmarks and gravity center.

They never did the job particularly good, must have been the lack of work.
