Azerbaijan is an amazing country indeed. Everything is unique there - the nature, the culture, the history, the customs and traditions, the architecture and others. Azerbaijan is often called «the country of fires» (from «azer» – which means fire). Even B.C. there lived tribes of fire worshippers. Since those times the most ancient evidence - rock drawings, statues of gods, ancient temples have survived on the territory of Azerbaijan. Besides, the country has been known for its burning hearths - ateshgahs (temples of fire). There is a place on Absheron Peninsula named Yanardag (burning mountain). In Nakhchivan, Kjalbadzgar, Lankaran, Babadag and other destinations underground hot water is brought to the surface.
