	Being an Egyptologist has finally paid off....just missed 1! (Drew a blank on the lowest point). And Pepi II being the longest reigning pharaoh brings about some very interesting (and heated) discussions amongst scholars.

	The word Giza appeared in two of my answers but I didn't think to guess it for one of Egypt's largest cities :$

	Nothing about # of shark attacks in their history or what percentage of them happened in the past six days?

	Heh, I typed in Palestine many, many times before finally realizing what this quiz was looking for.

	after seeing the answers i feel stupid for not having a guess at the name of the last pharaoh. the answer was always going to crop up somewhere on the quiz.

	Oldbogie, it is spelt "hieroglyph" which is accepted by itself. It also allows "coptic" for this answer.

	I tried Nasser just to check if it corresponds with anything and started typing Valley of the Kings, and guessed 2 answers... still blanked on Giza, though.

	Hah, that's funny, I got Egyption Pound by accidentally misspelling Egyptian "Egp."

	Only 1.6% Got Zahi Hawass? Have none of you guys ever watched the History Channel?

	Biladi, bilandi, bilandi should be accepted. It's the name of the national anthem in Arabic

	eggseronius:	Dec 11th, 2010 at 16:04 GMT		12 points
	Whose country?

	psubball1:	Dec 11th, 2010 at 17:53 GMT		10 points
	Fun Fact: I actually took the picture on the front page of Sporcle for this quiz when I was studying abroad. It is Djoser's Step Pyramid at Saqqara!

	Its Sahara, not Sahara Desert because that means desert desert.

	carbon_rod:	Dec 11th, 2010 at 19:36 GMT		4 points
	Since you have last Pharaoh (Cleopatra VII), why not have first Pharaoh (Menes) as an answer?

	psubball1:	Dec 11th, 2010 at 19:42 GMT		4 points
	carbon_rod: I thought about that, but there is a lot of debate on the subject of who was the first pharaoh.

	I spent about a minute trying a zillion spellings of "Muammar al-Gaddafi" until I realized he's Libyan, not Egyptian. D'oh!

	fla:	Dec 11th, 2010 at 21:35 GMT		4 points
	Blast, I would have got Aswan but I misspelt it Aswad. Curse you pop-reggae!

	MsShenanigans:	Dec 11th, 2010 at 22:05 GMT		2 points
	I typed "library of alexandria" like 8 different ways. Never realized it was the lighthouse!

	Does 'formal' mean 'not hieratics'?

	I generally like these country-fact-quizzes. This one is no exception... I got 38/50. But I'm only curious to know why the name of the vice-minister of culture is considered to be one of the basic facts about Egypt... or any country for that matter. I do not recall being asked about that in other country-fact quizzes.
