I'm world famous.
And over 2,000 years old.
I might not be a household name in America.
But in the East I am.
I have impressive architecture;
To be feeding so many for so long.
I might also be the local pride,
Of many folks of CCS.
Good guess! But not Gethsemane.Gethsemane? It was a garden where olive oil was pressed and more notably where Jesus accepted The Father's will to redeem us, a decision that has spiritually fed millions over the last 2,000 years.
I don't recall it being associated with impressive architecture though, so probably not correct.![]()
I thought about it... and I'm gonna have to give it to you.What does CCS stand for?
I looked up "2,000-year-old rice plantations" and an article came up titled, The Ifugao Rice Terraces are not 2,000 years old.![]()
I was going to specify Banaue (which I learned of reading the wiki article that the search of the history of rice cultivation led to) so, I'd like to accept this award on behalf of all the stir-fried rice I've enjoyed throughout my lifetime. Thank you, very much.I thought about it... and I'm gonna have to give it to you.
The answer is The Banaue Rice Terraces, which is part of the network of the generally termed Ifugao rice terraces. Banaue Rice Terraces were carved into the mountains of Banaue, Ifugao, in the Philippines, by the ancestors of the Igorot people over 2,000 yrs ago.
A pretty girl heard in the cradle
a place she wished to wake up able
To fly as high as chickadees
and follow roads beset with poppies
Where am I?
No, you're right, the password is not Afghanistan.The references to poppies and "flying high" made me think of the opium fields in Afghanistan, but I don't think that is it.
On an unrelated note, I love your new avatar! Did you paint it?![]()

Not Meg. It's not a shark movie.The Meg?
Is it a shark from a movie?
Yep, I knew you'd get it. I put in the "Like a man" part to narrow it down.The creature from the black lagoon?![]()
A nomadI watched that movie because the creature's suit is basically a case study of certain costume-making techniques. Absolutely fantastic design and construction work went into it, imo.
