Good quiz, but should give correct for German Empire (has to be Germany)...... and Greek Civilization (has to be Greece) ... otherwise good.

"Material" feels like a misleading clue, material you make something out of and I can't imagine what you'd make out of gunpowder, you just use it as is, don't you? Substance would be a better word.

So many possible answers for the ground grey granular grit gravel that has no obvious clue to gunpowder to one who does not recognize the item shown with it; how about an actual shotgun shell? or fireworks display?

Yeah, my best guess was gravel. I always assumed that gunpowder was a... you know... powder. It never occurred to me that granular stuff with grains large enough to grit your driveway would be gun"powder".

I, too, said gravel at first. Took a while and a few guesses before gunpowder. Only then did I realise that it's a bullet in the photo. I live in a country with an appropriate level of gun laws, so the bullet wasn't so obvious to me...

It's not a bullet, but a measure...and my first answer was graphite

Modern gunpowder contains graphite so you weren't far off the mark.

Looks like gunpowder to me. And between gunpowder and gravel which substance had a greater impact on history?

It's not a shell casing, samiamco, it's a powder measure - you can see the handle and markings.

That's not a gargoyle. A gargoyle has a drainage function. That is a "grotesque", which is a statue(ette).

You were indeed. Don't you know Disney tends to simplify everything? There is a confusion between the medieval gargoyles depicted in Victor Hugo's novel and the famous chimeras added by Viollet-le-Duc circa 1850.

A gargoyle is a type of grotesque, and I know grotesque is accepted for this exact picture in another quiz, soooooo… whaddaya say, O Lord of Quizdom?

Gargoyle is apparently very often used for such statues, but it's still incorrect.

Man a gargoyle comes in many shapes and sizes. There isn’t one set design for a gargoyle, similar to many things.

Should at least accept 'grotesque' for those who know the difference.

A gargoyle is only properly referred to as such when it acts as a water spout. The object pictured is a grotesque.

In fact, it is a chimera. Maybe a lesser-known but more appropriate picture could be chosen... There are a bunch here : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gargoyle

lol I glanced quickly at the gold panner picture and thought he looked poor so I typed in "Great Depression." Didn't realize until the end of the quiz that I hadn't actually gotten that picture correct.

The year is 50 BC. Gaul is entirely occupied by the Romans. Well, not entirely... One small village of indomitable Gauls still holds out against the invaders.
