2. No idea, but it's a fascinating question. |
|
I'm going to stay awake until someone posts the answer.
I'd guess some city in China.

The next city would be London, but not for another 1800 years. http://www.usefultrivia.com/history_trivia/history_trivia_008b.htmlI still want to know the answer to the question, "When was the largest gathering of people ever in America?"

And I don't think it was technically a gathering. In someplaces the chain of people of open for hundreds of miles, in the desert for example. More of a happening, but not really that many were actually 'gathered'.
I recently read that 2.5 million New Yorkers attended the Thanksgiving Day Parade. That's as big a number as I've come across so far. :hi:
