“Test Your Geography Knowledge: Avoid the Most Common Mistakes Everyone Makes”

2023-05-30 14:30:00

Almost everyone gets into trouble.

To be honest, almost every person on the planet Earth considers himself a sophisticated intellectual and thinks that he is at least slightly, but still smarter than the rest. And almost every person on the planet Earth is cruelly mistaken, making the most stupid at first glance, but incredibly common “geographical” mistakes.

Check yourself if you are worthy of “to rise” above the majority, or if you, like the majority, it’s time to return to school. Are the Netherlands and Holland the same thing? Not at all. The Netherlands is a country that includes 12 provinces, including Holland, and not one, but two: North and South.

Egypt is in Africa? Here are the boobies. This is a transcontinental country, because the Suez Canal divides Asia and Africa. Are you sure the Nile is the longest river in the world? Don’t make it up, the longest river in the world is the Amazon, it is 105 kilometers longer than the Nile.

Zurich is the capital of Switzerland? No. Geneva? Also no. Formally, the capital of Switzerland is Bern, but even the most avid lovers of travel and geography fall into the trap.
