You are correct. That's why the puzzle starts broadly and gets more narrow with each clue. We don't see many clues because some smart person usually figures it out first. Clues in this case would have narrowed the timeframe, the geography and the technology.

i'm sorry for being such a spoilsport. actually, i like most of these riddles peetster. it's a shame most of these are getting answered before we can ask interesting questions about them.

You're not being a spoilsport. These type of puzzles take some "getting used to". Stick with it and you'll find you enjoy them even more.

That rule is there for a good reason. Remember that a lot of riddles are linguistic. You might be the only person that looks at the key word the right way, and your question would give away the hidden meaning to everyone else.
