You clicked on a quiz about an American city and are surprised that the quiz contains questions about that city? No one would care or type this nonsense on a quiz about a European or Asian city...get a grip

His comment might be more aimed at the MCCQ badge (and thus the choice of cities) than this quiz in particular. Just guessing though, but he used cities plural

There was a Nabatean city called Memphis (A.K.A. Mampsis, Mamshit) in the Negev, within the boundaries of Roman Palestine.

Definitely not as famous as the Egyptian one though.
