Something about WW2 history to Baku. Have you ever heard about the battle of stalingrad? The bloodiest battle in world history with over 2 mio death in six month. The german troops have to take stalingrad on their way the baku to took over the oil fields because germany also needs the oil resource. German troops also reach georgia but never azerbaijan. So the story with the german bombers is true because the germans troops came 300miles near to baku. Very impressive when you think the normal soldier almost walked the most of the time.

Hi Gabriel, that burning gas in the land of fire is reminiscent of a town in Pennsylvania called Centralia that has been on fire since 1962 just incredible. You also mentioned the city of Baku Is called the windy city you know there are two cities in America that I consider the windy city and that's Chicago of course which most people know of but the unknown one is a city by the Bay, San Francisco. Mark Twain is quoted saying " The coldest winter ever spent was a summer in San Francisco ".

I always like these vid Gab, but when he said that these carvings are 27000 years old that is not true. Mankind was only this earth for over a little more than 6000 years. Fact from the Holy Bible.

@islamlkarimli Месяц назад

Not everything should be related to religions. According to archeology, the earliest record of humankind is 2.6 million years old. It is not the holy books which determine the age of ancient things. I mean it is true that those carvings are around 27000 years old. You can google it

@vaultkeeper2 11 месяцев назад

People leaving a country voluntarily, despite being offered citizenship, is not an "ethnic cleansing". What is ethnic cleansing however is the forced displacement of literally hundreds of thousand of Azerbaijani Muslims from Armenia and areas in and surrounding Nagorno-Karabakh in the 1990's, by Armenia with the assistance of Russia, the very same Russia who now does the same thing with Ukrainians! And in some cases like Khojaly and other villages, genocide. Azerbaijan is not entirely without faults either but lets not pretend Armenia was totally innocent.
