14/24 Not very good, says History Enthusiast, did like history at school always at top, but just couldn’t get into this one, quite hard about ancient times I don’t know much about and can’t remember any of this at school many decades ago.

23 out of 24. I thought the Mongols set up the silk road, instead of the Chinese.

23/24 also. It claims to be geographical but I did well purely because of the historical nature. I can thank my grandfather back in the 1950’s for instilling a love of history in me and reading lots of stories from ancient history with me. I still watch every documentary I find about ancient history.
Pretty EZ actually.

20/24 Thank you for showing the correct answers. I enjoyed this quiz; different from any other I have taken.
Dang – only 23/24.
