Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. The first stop on our magic carpet ride was contained within a very real place, and may have been a lush wonder of beauty amidst the desert that entranced the ancient world. To what wonderful, but possibly mythical, place are we headed?
2. We hop back on our magic carpet and head this time to a place that has captured the imaginations of people for millennia. In order to find it, if it existed, we would have to fly over the Mediterranean Sea, just past Gibraltar to the Atlantic Ocean. Our carpet flies around in circles, but no luck finding Atlantis. Who was the first person to describe the island and where it might be located?
3. Since our magic carpet couldn't find the last destination we hoped was real, this time we are having it fly us to a place we know exists: one of the most beautiful buildings in the world. Which of these is a mausoleum, built to show an emperor's love for his wife?
4. We decide next to have our magic carpet take us high up into the mountains of the western United States to see a national park renowned for its variety of geological features. What isn't readily apparent to most visitors is that the middle of the park sits on a supervolcano. Which national park are we visiting?
5. We have to see if our magic carpet can fly forward, while also flying backward in time for this one because our next location exists in fantasy and used to exist in reality. You can always find Neverland in "Peter Pan". But where will we go to find the Neverland that came complete with a zoo and fully-equipped amusement park in the last part of the 20th century?
6. Next our magic carpet has decided it wants to see one of the mysteries of the world, the Nazca Lines. The hundreds of huge pictures look like they were carved into the Nazca Desert ground. To which country has our magic carpet taken us?
7. How could we have the good fortune to have a magic carpet that can take us anywhere and not go to the sights in and around Paris? We decide to go to the palace on the outskirts of Paris where the treaty ending WWI was negotiated. Where are we?
8. We have decided to have our magic carpet take us to an unmatched rock formation in the middle of a desert. Turning beautiful shades of red during the sunrise and sunset, it dominates the entire landscape. Which Australian wonder have we gone to see?
9. We ask our magic carpet if we could make another change of direction and go to a castle in the United Kingdom. The magic carpet agrees to take us to the oldest continuously occupied royal castle in that country. Where are we going to land?
10. For our final destination on this ride, our magic carpet insists on deciding where to go. The carpet has taken us all over the world, to places both real and imaginary, so we let the carpet decide. "I'm taking you to visit my home. After all the places we've been, it's only right that I take you now to see the most magical place on earth, the Magic Kingdom." What is the other name of this "Magic Kingdom"?
