mc5 - AVMA Take 2

Yes, it's another round of that classic guessing game - Animal, Vegetable, Mineral, Abstract [or any combination thereof]. This effort - '03/'04 should address any queries, but then again, may just serve to confuse and baffle which some might say is the point of the game. Patience, integrity and a decent search engine may be useful ....

CdM

Royal Tombs of Aksum?

ImNotJohn

Isn't that in Earthsea?

[CdM] Axum tombs - NO (my reading is that they are megalithic, which I would take as being above ground)
Come on, someone must get it soon!

Raak

The pyramids of Meroe?

ImNotJohn

I didn't think there were so many possibilities

[Raak] Pyramids of Meroe? - NO
Basically below ground level, remember

CdM

Lalibela churches?

That has to be it! :-)

ImNotJohn

At Last!

YES
It is the rock-cut (or monolithic) churches of Lalibela, where I hope to be in about a week's time.
Here's a mountain and a chisel - carve your own baton.

(INJ) Could you and CdM conduct your nerdy little game in private and give the rest of us a chance? It seems pointless and time-wasting to ask questions when one has no chance whatever of guessing the answer, and this is not for the first time, either.
