Lake Tana

[archbishop]

Does anybody know the former name of this lake in Ethiopia?

Tisissat. Click here for more.

If you click here, that will link you to a web-page which seems to suggest the local name may be "T'ana Hayk". Could that be what you are looking for? Once on the new page, scroll about halfway down and read the section headed 'Notes on Ethiopia's Geography'.

The impression I get from Wraith's link is that Tisissat - "Water that smokes" must be the name of the Blue Nile Falls and not the lake itself.

My apologies archbishop if I have given duff information. I obviously misread the web page. Thanks Quizmonster for pointing that out. I think all of these Marlboro Cowboy questions have started driving me mad.

[Quizmonster]

Agreed, Wraith! Let's hope the AB Ed carries out a thorough 'cleansing' tomorrow, before we're all driven demented by these clowns. Cheers

Had a computer glich and not been able to get in.But it seems Tisissat was right right answer.Obviously the compiler didn't research to well.
