Q9)What’s the oldest, continuously inhabited city on earth: Jericho, Jerusalem or Jaffa?
A9)Jericho. (Traces of it go back to 9000BC. The walls may have tumbled, but it’s still standing.)
Q10)“The City on the Edge of Forever” is an episode of Star Trek. Which soap star appeared in “The City on the Edge of Forever”: Barbara Windsor, Joan Collins or Violet Carson?
A10)JoanCollins. (Collins appears in Dynasty. Barbara Windsor played Peggy Mitchell in EastEnders. Violet Carson was Ena Sharples in Coronation Street.)
‡ Yeah: I think a good documentary can cover a lot of territory, Olga!
As far as I could tell from Wikipedia? The earliest traces for Damascus date to around 5000BC to 3000BC. It also tells us Jericho dates to around 9000BC. Go figure!
I hope it’s dry in Barcelona: we’re heading stories …
Q5) football Some articles do mention Damascus... But I don't know the writers https://www.thecollector.com/world-oldest-cities-still-inhabited/ https://history.howstuffworks.com/world-history/oldest-city-in-world.htm (actually, this one mentions both) Barcelona is OK, so far. Rain is forecast all over for quite a few days to come, but let's hope things don't get too eerie. There've always been disasters and they'd had their share there, but...
I love it when someone comments. But, having had anonymous comments I feel may be libellous, actionable or just plain offensive, over the years?
I’d appreciate you* leaving your name — with a link to your website or social-media profile†, for preference — before you post a comment.
Should you choose to use a pseudonym/name, I’d appreciate it if that name were to be polite and inoffensive. I’d rather you kept it clean, and relatively grown up. Comments left with a pseudonym will be posted at my discretion: I really prefer a link.
Contentious, actionable or abusive posts left anonymously will not be posted. Nor will comments using offensive pseudonyms or language, or that are abusive of other commenters.
Thank you.
* I know many value their online privacy. I respect that. But hope you respect my wish to see who’s commenting on my blog: and my wish for you to introduce your self to me, and to your fellow commentors.
† Your Facebook, X/Twitter, Blogger, Instagram, TikTok or LinkedIn profile are acceptable. I also like seeing folks webpages.
Just so everyone knows?
