Nice intresting thread but hence I find myself at the end without a question so I thought I'd post one myself. What's the dryest place in the world?

welcome to the game.

I do believe that the answer to your question is Antarctica, surprisingly enough.

Yeah, Antarctica being the driest place is not something I would have guessed or deduced. Probably just a piece of info I picked up from another trivia game. It's counterintuitive for sure, a place consisting of so much ice and snow being the driest place on Earth.

Anyways, I'll have to pass on the Iron Weapons question, I don't know.

I would think somewhere like India.

Not to far off but nope.

OK, I'll take a guess and say the Etruscans

CGM, wheres that

Etruscans are southern Europe I would say, esp Italy. I am 99% sure The Roman Empire derived from, or followed, the Etruscans.

I would say the Greeks were the first to use iron weapons.

Okay, got it,.
