Probably coz he didn't understand the question, let alone the answer.:confused:

Question - Which country has the most pyramids in the world.

Neville

Varley 15th April 2025 13:25

Are these the Mayan?

Hawkey01 16th April 2025 10:31

Varley,

Sorry not them.

Neville

Makko 16th April 2025 22:04

Then Mexico, Neville. Now many years ago, they estimated that just to make an initial survey of identified and probable sites would take 54 years! Using LIDAR, more and more sites are being confirmed.

I’ve cheated - looked it up.
Yes there are hundreds of pyramids in Mesoamerica but the question asked for Country, and it’s not Mexico.

Hawkey01 17th April 2025 09:58

Dave,

Sorry not Mexico - although that was my original thought!

Malcolm,

Glad you did not let the cat out of the bag as the saying goes.

I saw a large number of orange and white pyramids on the M6 once. When I slowed down I realised they were traffic cones.

You know that there are no actual storage depots for traffic cones. When you see lines of cones not apparently protecting anything - They are just in storage until needed.

I telephoned the Traffic Cone Hotline once, but the auto receptionist said there were no cones available to take my call as they were all out on the roads.

As no more takers I will reveal the answer.

SUDAN.

SUDAN.

Neville

Jupiter71 21st April 2025 10:47

Interesting they are known as "Nubian" Pyramids, the former Tribal class ships take note

Makko 21st April 2025 17:41

Sudan!? I am impressed.
Rgds.

Two more to hopefully interest you!

Which US state has the busiest airport in the world and the city name? An extra point if you know the name of the airport.

Which is the only continent where coffee grows naturally?

Neville

Malcolm G 24th April 2025 18:46

Part one - pass.

Part two - Probably Africa, on the basis that Coffea Arabica despite the name grows in Ethiopia.

Dartskipper 24th April 2025 20:10

Reference busiest Airport, I suggest Atlanta, Georgia.

(At one time Chicago O'Hare, Illinois, was regarded as the busiest, but that may have been for International flights I think.)

John Rogers 24th April 2025 21:29

Atlanta, georgia. Usa.

Varley 25th April 2025 10:06

I would have guessed Africa for the bean too. No idea for the airport although USA would be the shoe-in starting point.

Jupiter71 25th April 2025 12:50

Mè thinks Bolivia or Kenya

Jupiter71 25th April 2025 12:53

Should have read the question better continent not country - I say South America.

Airport - Atlanta

Hawkey01 26th April 2025 11:01

Thanks all.

Airport correct - Atlanta Georgia - it is now called Hartsfield-Jackson.

Coffee - correct Africa.
