	You spelled "Tenochtitlan" and "Cuzco" wrong...also, some of these had more than one capital (and Athens was never really the capital of anything but, well, itself).

	Yeah, pls fix Tenochtitlan, also Babylonian. I think Cusco might be an acceptable alternate spelling -- but doesn't it accept Cuzco? (If not, it should.) AdamBishop is correct on the point of some civilizations having more than one capital over time. Assyria, for example, had not only Nineveh but Assur/Ashur, Nimrud and Dur-Sharrukin. Good idea for a quiz -- just need a little adjustment.

	Same goes for "Sumerian." Sumer is actually just the proper name for Sumeria. The Phoenicians were never unified enough to have a single capital, same with the ancient Greeks. Also, I would suggest adding the Persian (Persepolis) and Zhou (Luoyang) empires, and perhaps Dacia (Sarmizegetusa) as well

	Cannot sufficiently underscore how important it is to me that you fix Tenochtitlan.

	I tried to fix some problems, adding a couple of civilizations and removing a few. I also (hopefully) corrected the spelling errors.

	Yea I agree a lot of time they had multiple capitals (not at one time though). I recommend that you either accept the questions as your answer, or, you could say the "latest" or "first" capital city of the civilization. I would try to add some more and take away some time.

	Also, if you have Egyptians and Minoans you should also take the Hittite Empire, and some Kingdoms that were fragments of Alexanders empire.

	Not bad, Egypt is problematic though, at various times the capitals were Memphis, Thebes, and Alexandria. It's especially confusing because Egypt was technically two realms (Upper Egypt & Lower Egypt) under a single ruler.
