This is a variation on a theme of Francesca's "Who am I?" thread. The rules are the same, only in this case it would probably be best if we asked one question at a time :).

I'll start:


Its history goes back more than one thousand years.

Other :)

So no, not the Forbidden Palace, though I can see where you're going with that. I may have been unnecessarily confusing about the 'sort of a city' bit. We'll see. :)

Thanks LRC :) And congrats on *your* VH :)

Other??? Well, this was really dumb of me, but is it in India? Or anywhere in the Indian Peninsula?

Getting away from the city clue for a bit ... :)

Is it in Laos, Cambodia or Vietnam?
Indonesia? Singapore? Malaysia?

Is this place associated with royalty and/or gods?

Was this place made for tourism? (eg Disneyland)

Is it in the mountains or beach? Urban or rural?

Hey wait,... is it SINGAPORE? Since Singapore is a coutry (place) but also a city...

None of the countries mentioned, including Singapore.

Not associated with royalty. Not really associated with gods, although there are places of worship there.

Not made for tourism.

It's surrounded by hills, a little way outside a town. These days, the beach is a few miles away.

It was a city, once. :)

It was a city once...

More than 2000 years ago?
More than 1000 years ago?
More than 500 years ago?
Less than 500 years ago?

What happened to the city?

Floods? Earthquakes? Volcano? Fire? Disease? War? No idea? Other nautral disaster?

Is it iconic? eg pyramids, Sydney Opera House, Taj Mahal

I am so stumped :)

It was founded more than 2000 years ago. As for what happened to it, I think there was the odd earthquake, but there was a general slow decline, probably mostly due to the fact that the sea receded. Wikipedia thinks it clung on till the 15th century. :)

One of its buildings was particularly famous.

Asia's a big place.

Yeah, it's big! :) I thought you'd all be finished with this by the time I came back, but Cordy, you HAVE stumped us all :)

Is it an island?

Not in Russia - no, I don't think anyone's asked that before and since this is me it's worth asking. :)

And no, it's not an island.

Hint: this may be a minor issue... ;)
