No date-related theme today, just five very random questions for you to ponder.

One

Johann Ludwig Burckhardt is best known for rediscovering two of the world’s best-known examples of rock-cut architecture in Jordan in 1812 and Egypt the following year. What are these examples of rock-cut architecture?


Two

‘I can resist everything except temptation’ is a line from what play and who wrote it?


Three

What religious organisation was founded by Josemaría Escrivá de Balaguer y Alba?


Four

Elvis Presley and the beginnings of Open Golf are both linked to what town?


Five

Who in 1762 succeeded Peter III, Emperor of Russia, and what relationship was the successor to Peter?


Good luck! I’ll post the answers later.
