The structure above was built in the 7th century BCE by two legendary architects, Trophonios and Agamedes. Is it:

A. The Palace of Knossos on Crete
B. The Temple of Apollo at Delphi
C. The Pillars of Hercules
D. The Colosseum of Rome

Trivia aside, color me curious: what's the most unusual place or thing you've seen thus far in your "hallucinomemories"? That you're willing to tell someone about, of course — I'm not seeking to pressure anyone into revealing secrets they wouldn't be willing to share with the class.

(Or, I suppose, if you're playing along with those bingo cards we were given and need to share something with a stranger, responding to something like this would certainly qualify, wouldn't it?)

A?

The crater rim of Mt. Vesuvius, for place. A very strange creature that I really can't describe, otherwise.

I haven’t seen pictures of any of those places before, but I do like how that on the picture looks like. Um, B?

I don’t really know, I think I was sightseeing.

B.

A lighthouse, alone on an island, dark despite the storm raging outside it.

[personal profile] originallutece 2017-07-16 06:29 pm (UTC)(link)
Unfortunately, no. It was rather a barren place, though

[A little pause.]

It may have been off the coast of the United States, but that's more a guess than a proper theory.

B. The reward for their labor was somewhat on the morbid side, if I'm recalling correctly.

As for the memory element of it, apparently I spent time in the rainforests of South America at one point.

I know very little about Ancient Greek architecture.

Strangest thing I've seen is a city on the the bottom of the sea.

Can't say I've heard of the Palace of Knossos, but I've definitely seen a picture of those pillars in a history book at some point, so I'm going to guess B.

I'm probably interpreting 'unusual' in a different manner than you, but Other-Me is a cop and he had the unfortunate duty of investigating the murder of a woman he'd only recently met. So, murder scene.

I've seen some guy and remembered a song, but that's about it. Everyone else seems to be having more than me. I don't know why.

I'm a little late for the geography quiz, but I'm curious. Is it so common to hallucinate other places? I can't say I have.
