Message: [QUOTE="Liquid, post: 13127892, member: 167130"] The African country with the most pyramids is Sudan. Sudan has twice as many (~230) as Egypt (~110). The battle on the Zuiderzee in 1573 was a naval battle fought on water whose location is now on land. The Zuiderzee ([I]southern sea[/I]) was a bay of the North Sea in North Netherlands which, since the construction of the Afsluitsdijk in the 20th century, has now been cut off from the sea and reclaimed in large parts such as Flevoland, which roughly corresponds to the battle's location. Portugal spans three continents. The Azores and Madeira are islands of the Atlantic but are fundamental, integral Portuguese territory and not any sort of [I]special[/I] overseas dependencies as is the case in other countries. Madeira is off the African coast and the Azores are closer to North America. [/QUOTE]
