Didn't have too. There is to my knowledge only one God (i.e. Deity and not counting spirits, angels and leprechauns), who shares it's name with a car company.

The various mythical Lotus Gods arn't named Lotus, but rather Padma, Nefertum , Ashtamangala, et cetera.

If no one else is taking this, I might as well... smiley

There are many cars and car makers named after gods, Mercury, and Eos are among the more famous, I guess.

But my guess is going to be "Mazda". Ahura Mazda is the god of Zoroastrianism, Zoroaster being the prophet of that religion. The name "Mazda" is actually a Westernization of the founder's name, Jujiro Matsuda, but he was into Zoroastrianism, or something like that, and allegedly he named his company "Mazda" in honor of the god or his followers or something like that.

It isn't any pile of rocks. It was the center of a great medieval kingdom.

The kingdom was perhaps/probably bigger than France today.

And even though it may look like "any pile of rocks", the style is actually quite distinctive for this place.

The name of this place will be familiar to you.

An artifact found in these ruins appears on the flag of the present-day country where these ruins lie.

Trust Vuzman to keep coming up with these questions.

It's the ruins of a city in Zimbabwe normally just called The Great Zimbabwe National Monument of an old kingdom there.

Staying with the medieval tone:

What great medieval ruler, achieved a reputation as a great and chivalrous knight in Europe, has been written about by Dantes and Sir Walther Scott, has his emblem on 2 national flags and was stated to be a great example of chivalry by a more recent European Emperor?

Nope.
This is an actual historical person, and the 'founder' of a kingdom.
