Sorry to get back to you late. No, Sher, it's not Mongolia (actually. I thought you were answering the previous question). The Answer: = North Korea, because its calendar started with the birth of Kim II-Sung (ex-Prime Minister & President) in 1912. (not too sure how they work it out numerically, but that's the Q and A.) So, now on to the next QuestionAre you all ready? . . one for all you horticulturists- What flower derives its name from “turban” in Turkish? YL.

I rest my case for the prosecution my lord .
Mongolia declared itself a independent monarchy in 1911 when Chinas imperial regime collapsed.

I knew the wife would come in handy at some point its only taken 20 years but she is adamant it is
Mt. Koressos and she was taken to the place by Saint John as for the rest she is sure at least 2 popes have visited it and if she is wrong i can see no point in putting up with another 20 years lol (yes i typed that last bit after she left the room)

I know the mountain only as Bulbul, but that's right for part of the question though I was looking for the place ( town) name(s). St. John is also correct, but when?, and who were the " 3 famous personages that visited that place, and what did one of the latter persons do as a result of that visit? " You're getting warm..... YL.

and the answers are - St.John the Apostle brought Mary to live at what is now called “The House of the Blessed Virgin” at Merymana, around38AD, about four miles from Selçuk, which in turn, is near Ephesus, (>Kuþadasý). The shrine there – in the Meryemana KulturParki, which is up a pretty steep hill, Bulbul?, has been visited by Pope Paul VI, then Pope John-Paul II who declared the place as a Christian Pilgrimage Site, (Nov.30th,1979?) and Pope Benedict XVI celebrated Mass there in 2006. www.ephesus.us/pope_visit_virgin_mary_house.htmOne certainly needs transport of some description to get to it. So, with no-one answering the question properly, or in full, looks like my turn again......

Now here is the next question, are you all ready?
This WW2 prison took its name from the street it stood on – in English 'Peacock Street', and is now a museum. The building's designer allegedly had a connection to Frederic Chopin? It was a Gestapo prison then part of a concentration camp.
What is the prison's name, where is it, (town/city)and what was the 'musical' connection? What is situated outside this museum to which people attached notes to, and why?
The answer, or confirmation of same, will be promulgated at the earthly hour of 08:30am or thereabouts.
YL.

Thought that might have been difficult - nobody had a go. Answer: The Pawiak Prison took its name from that of the street on which it stood, ulica Pawia (Polish for "Peacock Street") in Warsaw. The Pawiak was built in 1829–35 to the design of Fryderyk Florian Skarbek who was apparently a godfather of composer Frederik Chopin. After Poland regained its independence in 1918, the Pawiak became Warsaw's main prison for male criminals. (Females were held at Gesiowka.) After the Germans invaded Poland in 1939 it was made into a Gestapo prison, and then part of the Warsaw concentration camp. Approximately 100,000 men and 200,000 women passed through the prison, An estimated 37,000 were executed and 60,000 sent to German death and concentration camps, incl.Auschwitz. Exact numbers are unknown, as the prison's archives have never been found. It is not that far from the Warsaw Ghetto. Shortly after this place, on the main throughfare to the Royal Palace, the offices of the Polish Trade Union “Solidarity” can be located. blog.travelpod.com/travel-photo/sallykaus/1/1282948130/pawiak-prison-tree.jpg/tpod.html - the 'memorial tree' outside the prison, with the names of those who were killed there attached.
