After finishing the quiz, the random Interesting Fact was #378:

During the Middle Ages, Buddha was recognized as a Christian saint who was named Josaphat.

Coincidence? I don't think so!!!!!

I got #54: "Velociraptors had feathers." Now that is definitely not a coincidence!!!!

BTW is the Great Pyramid no longer one of the seven wonders of the ancient world?

Verb tenses are so imprecise. I was debating whether to use past or present tense for that one, but I think past tense is better. We're no longer in the ancient world.

A monument which has been destroyed such as the Pharos of Alexandria would be appropriate to describe using "was an ancient wonder of the world". But the Great Pyramid is still with us, so it "is a wonder of the ancient world".

You should use ‘is’ because the question is about the seven wonders of the ancient world. ‘Was’ implies that it isn’t an ancient wonder any more

They not only lived there but they also were all regular customers at the Café Central, a coffeehouse were people used to sit and discuss current affairs or play cards or chess. To think that Stalin and Hitler might have played a game of chess there while Freud walked by casually saying something along the lines of, Meine Herren, this does not look good at all...

We got a town called Sexbierum which would be sex beer um. I think a few other unusual ones too. I can only think of Monster.

(My fact was about Ostara, but I don't see the point of all of us listing them (unless they were relevant)

Plus, the past tense indeed threw me too. It made me pause a while to think about what and how it was meant, as in did they change things, was it demoted. I see no reason to use was. That is like saying Spain used to border the Atlantic. Or Japan used to be an island.

When using practise as a verb, it should be spelt with an ‘s’. Even in British English, there is no such word as ‘practiced’.

Considering that Herodotus (likely) made the original list of the 7 Wonders of the World, using the past tense here makes sense. This is not a current list that gets updated. When people refer to the 7 Wonders of the World, they are by default referring to the list made thousands of years ago.

"Islam did not start until more than 100 years after the fall of the Roman Empire".

I can't stress out enough how wrong this is. Roman Empire didn't fall until much later, and for the first 100+ years of Islam it actually included Rome. Carthage and southern Spain were conquered by the Umayyads from Rome.

But that was not Ancient Rome, it was Medieval Rome, so the question is still right.

Do not make such sweeping comments about things that you are not very well-informed about. While it is true that the Byzantine empire did continue for another thousand years, and historians do emphasize the continuity between the two states, the Byzantine state was also clearly not identical to the "Roman empire" as it existed until the 5th century (easily predating the rise of Islam).

Carthage and Spain were not controlled by the Byzantines at the time of Muslim conquest anyways; they were controlled by Germanic states (the Vandals and Visigoths, respectively).
