This marks the first time in my life that knowledge I obtained in college in my 'History of Greek Archeology' class actually came in handy.

I'm surprised that as "great" female monarchs, you don't accept : Victoria, Elizabeth ou Cleopatra ?

I'm not a specialist but I think that using "classical music" to cover all of these genres of music is incorrect. It's like using "Holland" instead of "the Netherlands". Everybody understands but it's not correct.

Mythology isn't history? More a religious question? History are things that are believed to have actually happened.

I think the belief systems of very influential groups of people in history fits in the quiz. Additionally, by your logic, modern religions won’t be considered a part of history in one or two millennia?

I think it would be prudent to edit to "five most valuable U.S. companies..." "Most valuable U.S. companies" is vague. Any country in the Fortune 400 could fairly be said to be among "the most valuable U.S. companies." I get the obvious thing to do is go big, but that question gave me pause for a moment.

I found "National capitals in the Americas founded before 1540 AD" confusing - I thought you meant prior capitals, not current capitals. I was typing Cuzco, Teotihuacan, etc. Maybe adding "Current" at the beginning? But otherwise great quiz!
