	It says 23 comments, but I see only one. I don't want to duplicate comments, but this quiz was hard.

	If you're accepting "people, culture, or civilisation" then shouldn't "Chinese" be accepted for the Terracotta army?

	Umm, the question says 'Can you name the people, culture or civilization from the objects pictured?' Discobolus is the name of the statue, but it's not the name of a people, culture or civilization, which is what the quiz is asking about.

	I guessed Umayyad, which ought qualify for Islamic golden age.

	Oh dear - so many of those I recognised once I'd seen the answers! A lot of "d'oh!" moments there. Very hard...but that's good =)

	BCE isn't nonsense, it's becoming standard practice in academic circles throughout the English speaking world. I actually really liked this quiz though I got stumped on a lot of the answers...

	@Koltrane: and some things seem to translate perfectly into a picture quiz...

	There were lots of these that I knew, but I couldn't get the answer with the keywords I used like "sumerian" or "cuneiform" (which is the writing used on that tablet). Overall, though, still a great quiz!

	I enjoyed reading these comments, especially the people furthest up who didn't understand the object of the quiz. "I entered 'discobolus' - the actual name of the sculpture and was not credited with a correct answer. ??????" I love the righteous indignation. Great quiz. Hard is good. Not every quiz should be tailored to the masses. (Missed Hammurabi and the Astrolabe)
