    A correct guess at this point would be kind of a Pyrrhic victory, wouldn't you say?

    I wouldn't use the term "Pyrrhic Victory" for a correct guess at this point.
    Can you tell where that monument is located?

    It's the ancient theater of Dodona in Epirus, Muizer's pyrrhic victory remark was a play on that.

    IIRC pyrrhic victories were achieved in Italy, so I missed the play.

    Ancient theater at Dodona is correct, lol may have the ground, unless we choose to close this down.

    I believe this marvelous building is near Athens, Greece.

    Be my guest, I don't think I currently have any good pics to use so if anyone has one they are free to post it. I'll even rep you for it.

    Asia is correct, the symbols should give an indication of the country

    It's not by accident that old people are called "seasoned".

    I believe they are called seasoned on account of how bitter and salty they are.
