Through History with the Monday Quiz in Exile: The 1510's

It's Wednesday, so that means it's time for the Monday quiz. Congratulations are due to John, Bhagpuss and Ale for braving last week's quiz and for your scores of 7,5 and 5 respectively in what I'd thought was an extremely challenging week. For those of you who missed out, feel free to pop back to last week's quiz and try your luck before coming back and checking your answers below.

1. The last Aztec New Fire Ceremony was held in 1507. I am glad I was able to ensnare one person in the classic Aztec/Inca coin-flip.
2. The painting I was looking for was Da Vinci's Mona Lisa. Full marks to all.
3. The sculpture I was looking for was Michelangelo's David. Can you believe it was carved out of a piece of marble that no-one else wanted?
4. Columbus used a lunar eclipse to wow the people of Jamaica. Columbus was strictly an Atlantic Ocean guy, but I agree that the etching does have a Pacific vibe.
5. Dias was the first European to set foot on Madagascar, but pretty much everyone else beat him to it.
6. Pictured were the colourful outfits of the Swiss Guard, who've been protecting the Vatican City from crimes against fashion since 1506.
7. Guru Nanak found the founder of Sikhism. I knew nothing about Sikhism a couple of months ago, but it keep popping up all over the place at the moment.
8. Henlein's 1505 was the first watch, not technically a wristwatch but it's the idea of portability that's important, so I'll pay Ale the point. Clockwork itself is much older.
9. The garden of Earthly Delights is a Triptych. I thought this was a pretty hard question, but you lot are hitting the art ones out of the park this week.
10.The Atlantic slave trade began in the 1500's and continued until the 1870's. John was right on the button.

With that excellent showing I'm expecting some very impressive results in your comments this week as we dive in the 1510's, but as usual we appreciate the effort of giving in the good old college try rather than actually happening to arrive at the correct answers.

3) Which astronomer, who wouldn't widely publish his theories until 30 years later, contradicted Ptomely's model of the universe in his Commentariolus in the early part of the 1510's?

4) In 1517, the Mamluk Sultanate was defeated by the Ottoman Empire, leading to 350 years of Ottoman rule of which modern-day country?
