Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Orangutans and sun bears

Answer: Sepilok Nature Resort

Sepilok Nature Resort is a large animal sanctuary in Sabah, Malaysia. It is best known for its orangutan conservation efforts. Here, orangutans are rescued from poachers and captors and trained to live in the wild. When they are ready, the orangutans are released. Sepilok also has a much smaller conservation area for sun bears.
2. Rosetta Stone

Answer: British Museum

The Rosetta Stone is an ancient artifact that allowed archeologists to translate ancient Egyptian hieroglyphics. The stone is engraved with a decree from Ptolemy V in three languages: hieroglyphics, Demotic and ancient Greek. It was rediscovered in 1799 by Pierre-Francois Bouchard in Fort Julien near Rashid, Egypt (called Rosetta in English). Today it is one of the many ancient Egyptian artifacts controversially housed in the British Museum in London.
3. Crown of Thorns

Answer: Notre-Dame Cathedral

The Crown of Thorns is the crown that was placed on Jesus' head during his crucifixion. Part of the Crown of Thorns is believed to be housed in Paris' Notre-Dame Cathedral. It was purchased by King Louis IX in 1238 and was housed in many different Parisian locations until the beginning of the 19th century where it was housed permanently in Notre-Dame. In April 2019, the relic was rescued from a fire that nearly burned down the entire cathedral.

Other places around world also claim to hold part or whole of the Crown of Thorns including Germany, the United States, the United Kingdom and Italy.
4. Da Vinci's "The Last Supper"

Answer: Santa Maria delle Grazie

Leonardo da Vinci's iconic mural "The Last Supper" is painted on a wall in the convent at Santa Maria delle Grazie in Milan. Specifically, the mural depicts the moment at the Last Supper when Jesus tells his disciples that one of them will betray him. The mural is littered with symbols, especially around Judas who has his elbows on the table and is spilling salt.

The painting is located in such a place that the humidity deteriorates it and it has been restored a few times. From 1978-1999, the painting was restored controversially. The color had been brightened and some of the shaping (especially in regards to Jesus' right arm) had been altered.
5. Triton's trumpet

Answer: Great Barrier Reef

The Triton's trumpet or giant triton is a large, predatory sea snail that lives, among other places, at the Great Barrier Reef off the Australian east coast. The giant triton is harvested by humans for its large shells and this interrupts the food chain in the ecosystem. Giant tritons eat the very dangerous crown of thorns sea star which eats coral from the reefs.

The decline in the population of the giant triton has allowed the crown of thorns to run rampant.
6. Moai statues

Answer: Easter Island

The Moai statues on Rapa Nui or Easter Island are known for their large heads. They were built by the Rapa Nui people and are believed to be in honor of their ancestors. The statues can be found scattered all over the island. Some are solitary while others can be found in a line. The largest collection is at Ahu Tongariki where the statues were restored after a tsunami destroyed them.
7. Phoebe Ring

Answer: Saturn

Phoebe is one of the moons of Saturn and the Phoebe Ring is one of Saturn's rings that also surrounds Phoebe. The Phoebe ring is invisible and can only be seen with a special NASA telescope. Phoebe is an unusual satellite as it spins in retrograde to Saturn and thus the Phoebe ring also spins in retrograde, counter to Saturn's other rings.
8. Devil's Pool

Answer: Victoria Falls

The Devil's Pool or the Armchair is a section of Victoria Falls where tourists can swim near the very edge of the falls and not be swept over. This can only be done in September-December when the flow of the Zambezi River is lower than usual. Swimmers still must remain a few feet away from the edge or they risk being swept over as does happen from time to time.
9. Napoleon Bonaparte's tomb

Answer: Les Invalides

Napoleon Bonaparte is entombed at the Hotel Les Invalides in Paris. Les Invalides is a series of museums and monuments dedicated to French war history. Napoleon is interred at the Dome Les Invalides, the tallest church in Paris. Napoleon died in exile on St.

Helena and was initially buried there. He was reburied in Paris in 1861 when his tomb was complete. Many other Bonapartes are entombed there as well.
10. Blue-footed boobies

Answer: Galapagos Islands

Blue-footed boobies are sea birds famous for their bright blue feet. They live primarily in the Pacific Ocean around Central and South America. More than half of the blue-footed boobies in the world live on the Galapagos Islands off Ecuador.

The blue-feet are used to attract mates. The brighter the feet, the more fertile the bird is. Older blue-footed boobies have very dull blue or even white feet.
