Wednesday Trivia
The answer to yesterday's question is: The Inca.
Today's question is: The White Nile, which originates in Rwanda, and the Blue Nile, which originates in Ethiopia, merge to form the Nile River near which African capital?
Khartoum, Sudan. And the only reason that city exists is because the White and Blue Niles merge there. Otherwise, it's just another spot in the eastern Sahara desert.

I should have gone with my first reaction on the question about Machu Picchu because Inca was correct, but I wasn't confident enough.
Khartoum, Sudan?

Khartoum of Chinese Gordon fame I believe.
