Ohhhh, arrived too late! Yes, I agree....I think it's near Madagascar too. Although I can't imagine many people know a great deal about the place other than its location.

You all can squabble for the next Q... :mark:
OK I'll throw out another easy one:
What is the oldest continually occupied Euopean-established city in the US?
Not sure I understand the Q, but I'll guess Boston.
It is not Boston. This is not a complicated question. The US as all of us know was explored by several European countries, Spain, England, Portugal, France, and I'm probably leaving someone out.
These countries had settlements. I'm looking for the one that is the oldest and continually occupied into the present. Does that clear things up?
The reason I say European-established is because
Acoma Pueblo or "Sky City" in New Mexico has been continually occupied since roughly 1,000 CE
But it is not a city in the sense that we usually consider.
It was, and is more of a community.
St Augustine Flar-duh.
That is the one :)
How funny, I was watching "The National Geographic Bee" on the Nat. Geo. Station last night, and there was a question about the Comoros Islands. Thanks to this thread I got it right ;)Quote:

Jan’ it is your Q!
I felt very tempted to reply "On a stamp" but that's the Turks and Caicos IslandsQuote:
